3/10 from me, something wrong with the directing
pierce held it together otherwise it would have been a write off

That reminds me I still haven’t tasted turtle, snapper turtles are supposed to taste the best.

I would have to be kidnapped and transported to go to that shit hole, I went in 1997 big apple mistake

I would check that you are getting the original warranty I had a new diesel a few years back with first service due at 20k miles, which took me 2.5 years to do!

Casio lol this has made my day

I had a Casio calculator once, funny how I have never had a Rolex calculator

I tried one last Septembe, I am 6 foot 1 and even with seat at it lowest point I was catching my head on the grab handle .

There is something wrong with design of this it feel clostofobick
like a Volvo v40

So I just walked away, so Try it out first, it might
Fit you if you you are like small say petite and under 5 foot 8

Criminal for what should be a large European car.

Mind you I take my car allowance 425 pm and as my company makes us use lex over 4 years I always go into garage thinking ok so this is going to cost me 20k, and then I just hand the car and no equity.

So what I do is use my allowance to pay off a 10k loan in years and have a car worth 6k paid for at the end

I am currently doing this with a discovery 3, but I do pop into dealers a couple of times a year to see what I could have.

I am done with new cars until I can get electric one that competes with a Tesla

Have you told your wife yet!

**** food I am in the garage tinkering on me bikes. With absolute 80’s on.

Hang on Robbie if you are responsible for the little one then who is responsible for you?

Love my Santa Cruz and Cdale bikes

Hated and Sold: Orange/Trek/Gary fisher/Pace/

so the coda cranks will have to back and I will get a new BB for it!

the old one was 68

just get a angle grinder and chop the bike up into small parts and it will fit easy

Make sure you have full face helmet and practice gamboling for when you go over the bars.

You dont say but I suspect you are on a 1X bike?

If you are your best bet is to upgrade it to a double front chainset

All 1X bike have to bend the chain so much in top and bottom gears that back pedalling will always do this.

if you really want a good bike upgrade to a triple chasinset and you will be able back pedal as much as you want and you will be faster than anyone on a 1X bike!

and now it looks completely different compared to the skinny coda/middleburn set up

Just need to decide now Silver chain or gold chain – I think silver

success! it doesnt miss by much – but it does clear now

and weith a shim

this is it cathes with no shim – non drive side, the drive side is fine

I put the BB on with no shims = so I will try again and see what happens

I got this of ebay earlier this year, although it is a left hand lever with a short hose / front brake – that will have to change

So what want is a matching claiper and right hand lever..ideally with a long hose!

so I got frame and sanded it down to see and yes it defo cracked

cracked seat stay[/url]

then whilst looking for some forks for it I stumbled across a donor bike:

Donor bike

so from this wrecker I used the forks, Seat stay, cranks, chain (pc31 which my 0.75 wont even go into) seat post clamp and brakes.

Complete build

Which left me with a 17″ mc 30 frame with a stuck seat post

MC30 Stuck seatpost[/url]

Which came out quite easily after a quote for £120 from the stuck seat post man, and 3 hours of carefull filing:

removed with files[/url]

So Now I have a viable frame to make a small genius up for my daughter!

I still need a colour matched black/white seat stay for the 20 though…

Hi Psyco, what is a Crack sticker please?

PS it did get posted until Thursday so I am still waiting for it.

I have order some cross ride wheels for it to get it close to original spec.

I agree that the line above the brake mount looks suspicious, but I have never seen and bike fail there, has anyone else? if it cracked at least it wont be as expensive to get fixed or replaced as the carbon frame!

There had to be a reason why it so cheap!

Don’t go then,

I just got back from a week in morzine, took a fs 150mm bike which was totally unsuitable, on the first day I cooked my 160 rotors, and had to get 200mm fitted while I was there,

I have mavic 819 rims, and I was in the bike every night getting them trued up.

For the last 2 days I hired a gt fury which was perfect nothing broke on that.

Even the easy runs were equiv to red uk runs

I did the passportes du soliel 2 days in a row, next year I will just take my dh bike

You can’t really go wrong, especially if you can find. 2011 model on sale, just watch out for crc, kona reckon they are selling grey imports and you won’t get the warranty

The handlebar remote option has it pros and cons, I have lever versions on my bikes as once used to it you can operate them in a fraction of a second just have to plan ahead when approaching steep rocks.

If my bikes had the internal cabe routing for a dropper, I would go for remotes.

I also run mine with 1cm drop from full height for full speed on the smooth, I find dropping the C of G a bit makes everything feel a bit safer

get a disco van instead – miles better in many ways, space, comfort and heavier so better off road in the mud and snow.

I commute daily in this beauty

Get a 200tdi if you can about 25% better on fuel than a 300TDI, my 200tdi is on 195K and is running like a swiss watch..

gave up on ubuntu in the end and installed windows xp as the only way to get the touchscreen working is by installed the IBM drivers which are windows only!

massive lol at the pedals

hopes – purely for the way the hoses connect at each end

Avids, purely for how good they are after the easy bleed kit

shimano XTR purely for looks and feel

hayes -rubbish

Shimano non xt – for there heavy weight!

I am on my second carbon rush, after snapping the first frame half way down the seat tube.

I have seen Hecklers advertised here for £800 complete – that has to be in the top 10 all time favourites

I cant see the tensionometer on the table?

I will riding without a number too!
