Tell me bout it 4 weeks with lurgy AND I’ve not been on here much! I mean what’s with that, strange ay.

I’d say go ride before heavy rain sets in on these thankful days of sunlight

Who’s the victim here?

The state for not putting his dumb ass down at birth…?

Just seen your update, good for you and hope your kids get justice.

I feel your pain and must have been hard to control yourself. I often wondered if I should learn how to fight properly.
So many rangerover drivers to take on! Lol

Sounds like an Asda delivery driver and overpaid thug of a mate on a powertrip

I would like to try a following but that means buying one and quite frankly it’s far too spendy at the risk of receiving piss poor CS.

exactly the point AlexSimon nail and head!

so what do I know?!

precisely!

Nearly 3 weeks here, after catching glandular fever, The lurgy lasts longer.

I never caught colds before like this.

DVO Diamonds look alright a worthy alternative.

Ironically enough, I’m just at fancy rustic pub removing a rustic bogey and disposing of it onto their lovely rustic table.

For privacy’s sake, I shall not disclose which pub but in the interest of h&s …

Teehee!

Was gonna say, don’t go near Pirelli if you’re wearing out quickly …

Avon tyres are my fav but are costly.

Michelin gold … Series tyres last alright tbh.

Yeah, I’d get the file out too. You can file the adapter rather than the mount. That and some shims will sort it in half an hour.

When you’re done smack yourself in the nuts for getting a shop to fit parts for you

Exactly this!

£5k for that hunk o junk.

Blimey I’m definitely in the wrong line of work.

For being a money grabbing whore obviously trading off Pauls cycles sale.

Or it could be even fraud considering he’s based in Ireland, he’s probably mixed up in some dodgy items especially if he bought a Cannondale. 😛

I remember the days when LLBs was a place to worship as it was an Alladin’s cave and I so happened to want a limem green SC Bullit but remember it being what I would call excessive amount just for the frame as I was new to the game of proper mtb’ing.

Still dream I picked it up and built it with monster Ts and Hope M4s etc.

Yeah but have you plucked up the courage/time it takes to report him than post on here.

Hell, you may be surprised Gumtree may take the ad down.

Neither is Evil by the sound of it!…they seem to get sales on the basis of a weird looking suspension linkage and high retail price which seems to appeal to a certain kind of rider who thinks it gives them a (false) sense of superiority and riding ability while out on the trail….boutique I think it’s called.

I think you’ve double hit the nail on the head as to what I was saying earlier on in this thread.

Yeah how much, I WANT A GREEN ONE with hydraulic brakes and anything but Apex shitifters.

what gear does a flat di2 go to

I claim you’re the idiot for asking such a Q.

I have seen XFusion Velvets in qr on ebay but in white colour if that’s your thang…?

Good fork, certainly more reliable than a RS fork.

Just another smallish brand reckoning they’re something by designing these bikes and selling them for big bucks to coincide with other big brand name prices only to realise or not as the case may be that they’re way behind on design and cba to put in the leg work on cs.

And breath… Long winded right there, phew.

To mention that the rear triangle is made in a different factory does bear some relevance I think as tolerances may be altered between both triangles and when fitted together, the weakest link and all that jazz.

I’m also pretty sure all brands rush their new products to the market before carefully assessing whether or not they are safe, I mean chucks, just add more specifically woven carbon to the rear end ffs. That’ll surely solve it! 😉

Still doesn’t stop me from wanting one but I know I wouldn’t go ahead with one and yes actually still, my head needs testing. 😆

My “LBS” would be an Evans. Hardly a local business in need of support.

Amen brother, AMEN!

Tragic bicycle retailer.

Is the spacing 135mm x 10mm for the 26″ dropouts and is mint green still an option on 2016 new revised toptube version?

Welding beads on the raws look immensely tasty!

Interesting to hear as I’m currently looking out of interest at the following.

Plus not all bmxs are made from steel, GT for example is carbon and others besides I’m sure.

Am sure part of the warranty process is good healthy “nice chit chat” comms and if you piss them off from word go then it will be a no go!

24k! WTF are you supposed to do with that in central London?

Spend nearly all of it on Starbucks pa.

I remember when at the NEC, he signed my GT t-shirt with him racing a DHI and he was actually racing Orange at the time.
Must have been 2000 era.

Still got the shirt if anyone’s interested 😐

Yeah Gil is meant to be THE MAN when it comes to decals.

I was back in the day going to use him for a set of Merlin xlm decals but decided that they looked ok as it were at the time, just I was rebuilding see.

I would have gone through him though most definitely.

There’s a food alley in my local town that seems to offer extras such as nipples, whether or not they’re fried or not is another matter…

I assume as they’re Romanian looking that it’s not a food stuff but something you do stuff.

edit) drat, this is the bike forum isn’t it, so in regards to your op Q then hmmmm errrr a bike shop may, just may have them. 🙄

Moto G 4G at £139 or so at Tescos or other outlets seems great value as my mother has one but the camera is shocking bad.

Apart from that, it does everything and everything fast, I was very impressed with her handset.

I however have been diagnosed with consumerism/hipster disease and went with the Iphone 6s. 😈

If it were any other outfit than Evans then yes I would return as I wouldn’t want a smaller retailer to lose out.

As they themselves have no moral compass what so ever then yeah, I’d sellthem cheap or give them away to a riding buddy.

It’s not that I don’t like Evans, it’s because I hate them with a passion!
(Fyi not for consumer reasons but work)

Safe and speedy recovery, hope it’s nothing tok serious.

Before I opened thread, I was thinking deffo Salsa Flip Lock. Oh and yesh choose any of their lovely colours to keep your son happy.

could this scam be as bad as pressure sales from double glazing salesmen in your face…

hmmmm makes you wonder though.

If there is a window in the bathroom then get child to jump whilst you hold a sheet above a mattress on the ground, jobs a good’un.

But you only get one chance so make it count.

Downhill, downwind and preferably with a good view to take in.

Off a Starbucks building whilst people watching I hope.

free rock for fitting

What? crack to smoke to help ease the pain do you mean.

Please don’t forget your wheels whilst your riding, this may impair the bike to roll and support the frame.
😛

Seriously though, your right Flow Exs are a good alternative to carbon rims built up nice but having gone from Flow Exs to carbon rims with bladed spokes, there was at first a massive noticeable comfy difference and direct power transfer.

Now I forget they are carbon at times and just ride faster.
It’s all good!

It truly is incredible stumping up a little extra for the right product for the job, having now ride on Bos devilles, they do exactly as you mentioned about the inline except on the front end of bike.

Ya get what you pay for and these folk like ohlins, bos, dvo and cane creek are deffo worth their weight in gold to have on your bike.

In the sink whilst brushing my teeth.

Perfect timing is required for this method to then shake and wash hand to then put electric tooth brush down having washed the brush.

Generally speaking though, as I’m youngish, and take it my prostate is still reasonably healthy then I do seem to slash above 12 o’clock.

When I am pissed, I tend to let it flow into the water in the bowl just to hear the sound like a heavy thunderstorm. Quite a refreshing sound I reckon.

Let’s be honest, you’ll never get SShitS to admit a manufacturing defect on their products and should take the refund and run off to buy a much better set from Light Bicycle etc.

Consider that a lucky break.

Yeap! so may be a bit risky hence my 😛
