I owned a dalmatian, now sadly departed, went with us on most mountain bike trips, great dog but clumsy.

Riding along a stream about 8 ft wide and 6ft deep, the dally decides he wants to cross but pushes me into the stream, I fall in and as I standing he jumps across using my head as a staging post/additional leverage. Catches my ear with his hind leg ripping my ear, rode back to the car like evander holyfield. The nurses who put the stitches in did laugh.

Riding along the dog get a whiff of deadness and starts to shoot off, he was about 16 months old and had got lost whilst tracking down dead rotten carcasses so I decided to cut him off, mis judged it hit a rut in front of him over the handle bars and ruptured my knee ligaments! He stayed with me as I hobbled and cursed.

Hell I miss that dog!

LOL mamadirt, this is for daughter at home who managed to mangle her helmet and now needs a pee pot helmet.

the original giant trance 4.2 rear and with 140 mm pikes pretty impressive

As I said
c'est la vie………..good luck and all the best in the ebay sale!

Some fair and just comments here, the issue for me is the spirit of the classifieds, most people buy and sell stuff in a manner that relects the mtb community, reasonable and open, a lot of people swop and change all the time most losing money so the idea profiteers are lurking out there in the classifieds irks me slightly. I realise and recognise we live in a monetary society and this is all fair, and olly no it would not miff me if the bike was smashed on the first ride at least some one was using it appropiatley. Hora quite right it is upto the individual what they do with the frame but you ahve haggled enough to know that some items transcend cash and are wrapped up in emotions. Maybe it was too big but to put a 40% mark up on seems or makes me feel like I was talking to a trader all along, private sellers but professional buyers.But it seems all is fair in love and the classifieds.
C'est la vie!

sorry $ 4675.00 was asking price and i paid $2,700

The frame was 01/02 cost $2,700 dollars is correct, as memory serves me correct, quality really outshines most frames bar merlin

not sure about c, I actually priced at $600 to sell and really limited intrest and a couple of wild offers.

Hi see my ad for this one, in all honesty great bike and all you could ask for in your post :-)

drop me a line if you are intrested, seriously great bikes and really underrated and due to recovery from injury and then reoccurance not ridden that much.

Thanks

Hondarribia is a avery nice place, been and the paths in the area look good for mtb, we walking rather than riding taht year.

We looked at Finale but ended up going to cantabria, great beaches and Picos 45 mins away

Yep several, it the very very worst it is noisy and slightly claustrophbic, in reality it is fine, lie back close your eyes and go to sleep

Not a racer but over a 10 mile loop
24lb yeti asr-sl 1hr 3 min 24 secs
35lb titus supermoto 1hr 4mins 02 secs

just come back from the pryenees so reasonable condition for me, but i am no racer or athelete felt i could ride the loop a few times more on the yeti, dead on the titus.

As BWD says spend the money on a training plan.

No got a supermoto but selling, similiar, el gaupo lighter similiar travel.
Sumo, outstanding descender, good climber, excellent suspension system, just a fab bike and the el gap was similiar but just lighter and a bit more all dayer. one of Ben haworths editors choice in 08 I think. Recommended to test or buy my very very cheap supermoto :D

Even though I am selling my litespeed, Ti is sublime when put togther properly and thoughtfully, Litespeed/merlins and so on are in differnt class to some other cheaper frames.

daughter order stem last week Tuesday still waiting for it to arrive :?

As Gavin B says but consider this one, which is for sale,

so the options are really windproof and warmth, or boil???? Got several gillets AND like them but no use when they are pouring down which seems to be 87% of the time in the north! AND yes I am a northern born and bred…………..tis grim and all.

LOL Jim no one baselayer per ride…….sorry for poor description

re the layer system last 5 rides have been canterbury base layer, decathlon skin, wool top (it was freezing,) labgear synthetic top so all good quality it is this simple I just sweat, pit zips did not work back then, what about montane or OMM equipment. Not convinced about softshells either, am i not just going to cook like a turkey with one of those.

any brands better in event fabric???

so I am doomed then???

thanks folks….alloy steerer will a new satr nut work?? I dod not have a head doctor.

what time and where is the meet point next sunday please?

thanks :-)

I have had coil and air pikes and have some 36 talas, the pikes are very good but the fox are great both outshine anything else out there, as mildred said weight negliable, I prefer the 36 but very happy with pikes

I agree with both too many berms and the speed bumps, I would like to see some more natural singletrack, but will need to describe that a bit better. Will ride it again next week. When is the next dig? :-)

Many thanks folks for the replies all really helpful and much chin scratching to be had while we have a think.

Went today rode over and was impressed, well done to one and all, the wood freaked me as it was lashing down and still have visions of flying off the north face at grizedale. I was impressed by the quality of the trail plenty of everything but did totally manage to mangle my calf on my flat pedals on the green route……do not ask. Personally liked it more than llandegla, much more intresting at Gisburn.

Off tomorrow so this has been an intresting thread, how many ribble valley riders are on here?

what about switzerland? Dolomites look good :D

Never skied in europe at all, really like Crested Butte/Summit County, Keystone/A Basin, Steamboat.

nbt lol…..we need good snow.

These are very impressive bikes

titus el guapo or older supermoto

never been to Pila but friends have and sauze d'ox worth considering if you are after lifts

i like them on the back 2,25 big volume fast rolling drifty in mud

They are a decent tyre especially on the rear. Used mine in the pryeenes in May okay in tarmec, good on hardpack, okay in mud intresting in snow.

Morzine is okay but annecy is lovely, but when we went as uplink weather dire, 2nd time riding was just okay imho better places for family /mountain biking holidays especially those close to beaches say 30 to 40 mins…Italy tuscany/finale/appenines/sciliy cefula/palermo area (cefula was nicer)taominia below etna and beach but will be busy now France Perpigan/prades area….Basque country…Vosages/Jura…..Dordogne….Spain Picos de europa or stay at the beach and do cantbria. We over the years have been to all as a family bar finale. Good luck

many thanks
