Get an old Kona, it’ll be better than all of the above.

So what does Over Mountain consist of? Riding up a hill, and back down again? Or do you have to ride up a specific side, and back down the other? Or does coming down the same way you go up count?

Didn’t Cannondale try to trademark the term ‘All Mountain’ a good few years back? Or was it ‘Freeride?’

this exact conversation is why people get into road bikes.

Like roadies aren’t influenced by marketing either, no way, not at all, not me sirree, never in a million years. :roll:

Merlin seem to be doing some decent deals on Crossrides – how long have you had yours for?

I prefer my Trail Centres to be “Three Quarters Mountain™” with the rest to be made up of a mixture of bracken, bilberry bushes, pine trees and badger dens, with perhaps an old dear or two thrown in.

It looks pretty decent for a 29er to be fair.

Nice work!

My chain cleaning technique consists of turning the bike upside down, gripping the chain with a manky old wet rag and turning the cranks. Pay attention Sky.

Me too – about once every 3 months. :lol:

Only done Kirroughtree and it’s pretty decent in parts – the singletrack after Talnotry Hill is by far the best bit I reckon. The only problem I have with it is that the whole thing seems a bit disjointed when you do all of the red and black, as fireroad sections seem to split it up at regualr intervals.

It’s still good fun though and I’ve only ever seen two other riders when I’ve been out on the trails there mid week, so you can get the place to yourself.

Milli Vanilli.

Llandegla is great fun, that’s all you need to know. If you know how to have fun of course.

They should have passionately kissed imo.

The skills section is good fun too.

Real, or fake, they all look awful. Except Frogskins. But that’s ok, if looking like a middle aged Matrix wannabe floats your boat.

Did she have a go pro helmet cam attached to her head?

Will keep an eye out Shipley way.

TJ- I like your drawing, but feel it would be more aesthetically pleasing were it to show cyclists riding two abreast.

That’s why he should have ridden two abreast.

If he was riding two abreast it never would have happened. He should have ridden two abreast AND at 2 mph, because it is his right as a cyclist. The driver would have accepted his right as a cyclist and would have kept a safe distance, because the law says so. You’re all missing the point.

Always wanted an LTS, magic!

Gusset R Series in tartan for the win.

Locomotion in Shildon is loads better.

It’s good, but Locomotion in Shildon is loads better, just so you know.

Stand up more.

I’d suggest the bb.

Lovely, but needs some Yeti grips. ;)

Am I likely to see Prince William then? I do hope so!

For all those saying it’s crap passwords- you couldn’t have guessed mine in a million years. Hell, I couldn’t even guess what it was half the time. It’s just shameful Internet nerds who are hacking accounts, probably like yourselves (if we’re dishing out blame), so wind your necks in.

Her address:-

She seems to have half of Hampshire in her garden.

I once sucked a mouthfull through a blocked carburettor on my motorbike.

You can say that again

Thank god we have established she is not a looker

Some excellent suggestions here folks, many thanks for the ideas!

We’ll be there for 3 days so should be able to fit quite a bit in, I usually pay just a fleeting visit when in town.

I’m not sure the lady will appreciate TJ’s House of Trolls though… :lol:

sas78 – those two pubs look great, I appreciate the local knowledge people!

leaving trails in their wake and causing disturbance to flora and fauna.

Some people will worry about anything. :lol:

TJ – Is that the one that is a short walk out of the city centre, to the north east of Princes Street?

The only bike you should be riding on the road is a bmx, and even then, just when crossing it.

The seat tube is broken ^^^

Crikey has a bloody good point.

I’ve got:

A 1995 Mongoose Amplifier frame and forks (the Amp linkage ones),
An old pair of Manitou forks (SX’s I think),
A pair of Manitou Splice forks,

And other bits and bobs. I should really get rid of them…

Roadies.
