freezie im selling my zeiss ikophot for £20 if youre interested drop me an email, its old but accurate 😀

i think its anecdotal but some will be adamant its true based on personal experience (i still reckon thats anecdotal)

i think dale have loads of machines to test their bikes, they used to run ads about them

whether the machines worked depends on your opinion of cannondale 😉

i think the stays might be wider as you look from the back? so a flattened thing rather than a tube

i use a bronica, just got a metered prism for it and its a total weapon! i love it its like an SLR on steroids. I decided MF over 35mm because the depth of field can be much narrower for the same aperture and with my bronica its square format which i love.

Im raising funds for a bike frame so selling my 35mm f2 and 85 f1.8 lenses rather than selling this, thats how much i enjoy using it. As for efficiency then unless you're getting paid to take photos its all more or less for personal enjoyment, if you enjoy mucking about with film then result.

if you're near derby youre welcome to have a shot of the bronica

EDIT: if you have a D700 and D300 plus good glass the film and processing costs arent going to break the bank plus get yourself a tank and darkroom bag (im selling one btw) and its even cheaper.

2ND EDIT: there are a few pics on my flickr (click my name) from the bronica, i tweaked them cos i fluffed exposure but im getting better.

it provides some interesting google hits…

i like los patos 😀

esp as there is a pato in Pocoyo

franceses would might end being mistaken for omelettes

I like Juan Speed a lot but nobody has a SS here,

now you know that can be changed if a certain someone got a proper bike

what eats snails? that'd be a pretty good counter name?

or los sajones?

ideally youd have a name in spag that when abbreviated to an acronym said something terrible in english 😀

ah yeah you could be right, god knows where "begins with a t" came from

cheers ill have a look at some shop sites but i think youre on the money

240s if you can stretch to them are awesome

I hear these are very good:
Superstar components: 0845 475 8338
Dave Hinde: (0)1606 48608

LMAO

good luck but imho when stw weasels know more suppliers than you its prob not a great sign

qwerty yours is camera shy

got home later than expected 🙁 so ill try and get out tomorrow or sunday

cheers Joe im from scotland so bridleways and some of the cheekiness is new to me, cheers this is not a spoon might do a recce of that on the cross bike and go back with the mtb

that looks fun too thanks coleman, wow i didnt think id have so many good choices cheers guys, my email is in my profile if anyone fancies some pedalling-be warned my mtb is a big wheeled ss

so pretty much the same as my crosser 🙂

cheers mate! im not sure the limits of this cross bike (and rider) are for damage but sounds good, i dont have a car but i could poss/prob get out to belper by bike. and get train home if needed to

on that map does it follow roads and then cross fields? put it on satellite view but cant quite tell. looks nice and green though 😀

thanks again, if you're about at some point could hook up for mtb pedaling

shitfest is fine just need a few hrs on the bike to clear my head or if there is somewhere better to head let me know, im coming from littleover. ill def hook up soon but prob not this weekend-are you going to sinfin cross race?

actually i think i will tap matt about his, could always get it resprayed at some stage 😀

yeah i tried the person he sold it to but they wanted to keep it, i think. ive emailed a lot of people! i do know of one but the guy wont post it for less than 60 quid and doesnt want me to collect it, he said i was a lot of hassle so i got the hump.

EDIT: so shaggy you're saying we need to engrave his bike…

lol, there was some pretty interesting stuff added to his last paintjob when he went to bed at 24/12 'matt the spaz' was the least of it 😀

im good thanks but snowed with uni work, i havent asked him actually i sent him an abusive text a few days ago but not sure its the right number. i should get hold of him and see how hes getting on but ill be totally honest here re. the bike- i hate that new paintjob, there i said it. i know, im very vain 🙁

it is Dave yeah! Badger rather than Chops but a Dave nontheless, hope you're doing well

i didnt get a chance to ride spaz' when he was in madrid but i think probably medium is the way to go (annoyingly guy selling a frame and rear wheel has a large)

cheers everyone, confirmed what i feared, need to find a med frame only or someone who wants some 29er mavericks and a front wheel

shimanos-reliable

hope (that they work)

hayes breaks

Mrs Wombat tells me that it gets a lot of use

🙂

It is not a Hoover it is a vacuum cleaner FFS!!!!!

took a few replies before got that! must be a stw record.

i actually use all products as verbs so im away to itunes then sony bravia* before i playboy

ill look into the miele despite lack of animals and henry and dyson too-any cheap suppliers of these wares much appreciated

*i dont have a bravia but couldnt think of any other telly names

i used henrys at work so ill prob avoid them, sooooo wheres good (read cheap) to buy a dyson?

twin six[/url] stuff is nice

well only a couple of us had shaved and left our taches but we've bullied the others into shaving, safety in numbers is our motto.

thats a cracking pic!

LMAO! awesome work-there has to be a pic of all of you together though? Im slightly nervous ill be the only one at uni this morning but ill just need to M*TFU

*moustache

edit: complete misunderstanding

now now you know the rules-clean shaven on the first of Movember (yes my facial hair does grow that quick!)

thank you very much boxelder, very generous sir 😀

i shall endeavour to make the pics amusing and may take (non erotic*) requests…

*possibly a wee bit erotic

think justablur has some m frames going? could sell the lens as said and get a clear one from steptoes. im getting some off him with clear and persimmon lenses

You'll be lucky

damn. in that case i prob cant afford a 69er, at least not if i want to hold onto my 240 29er wheels, which i do. ah well never mind.

i am considering an older trek 69er at the moment but dont need the mavericks, i thought 300 plus postage for fork and wheel was a reasonable price?

interesting to see how diverse these opinions are already! mboy's point of view is pretty interesting as he is someone who obviously loves maverick frames, anyway on with the debate!

loddrik you dont fancy a duc in limited edition brown (ie off a trek 69er)

never been a fan myself but i can see why it would have its admirers, im not convinced about mavericks myself-in fact might be selling some soon- but equally i know there are a lot of people who love them. well done though youve obviously got something that gets you fired up :thumbs:

yes it is but itll take a while and some local knowledge to get the best out of it

id be interested in it depending on whats in the box or alternatively put it on talkphotography.co.uk, dont throw it out unless the stuff is gubbed

niner site

Coleman are you derby based by any chance? ive moved here recently and need cross and mtb routes
