Where in the dales are you heading?

My Pantera had STX-RC running gear and brakes along with Kore finishing kit.

I had a 98 GT Pantera, the rear stays were identical to that.

I’m just down the road so will keep a lookout. Messaged a few friends yesterday telling them to make sure bikes are secured as the forums seem to be getting busier with bikes stolen in the local (ish) area.

Used this method in the past but only for small amounts. Wouldn’t even consider it for £200.

I’ve had mixed experiences with Paul Milnes…. Bought my first ‘proper’ mountain bike from them.

Another £135 reverb here too…. very limited options now though.

Got myself a rock shox reverb. OEM so no bleed kit but cost less than £135.

Mentioned this to a few mates and think we are going to have a crack at the sport event. Will have to go steady on the mince pies this christmas…..

I ride a 2012 Ghost AMR 5900, not had a great deal of experience on full sussers but love the bike, should be just about spot on for my needs once i fit a dropper post. The only issue i have found is the pedals occasionally striking the floor on terrain that’s not particularly challenging but that’s probably down to my ‘build’.

Hence the pay as you go sim!

I’ve used gumtree a number of times with success in selling low end mountain bikes. As mentioned an attached mobile number helps. I usually use an old pay as you go number as it makes it easier to ignore the idiots.

Been using a park pcs-9 for a few years now, think they can be had for about £80 which seems reasonable.

I used them years ago, think it was a nokia N82 which was a good phone at the time. They paid slightly more than similar companies but it took me months to get the money

Watched the first 3 laps and found the noise too annoying!

Used tong glass in my previous house, not sure how they compare on price but the fitting was spot on and had a problem with the door a few years later, within the hour the door was repaired.

Paisley got a few bad reviews on here a while ago, but I’ve posted a number of bikes with them and it’s always been straight forward.

I had a 2001 coupe du monde, lovely do it all bike but managed to snap the rear stays.

Seasons 1-4 available to watch here.

Once went to lee quarry and forgot my lid, still rode but didn’t enjoy the day as i was taking it easy and it just didn’t feel right.

Scholes is a nice area, pretty close to lowmoor too.

A few years back I worked for a company that sold bikes online, they would often advertise bikes as being in stock that weren’t however they did state a longer delivery time on these. It was mainly the higher end bikes so that they weren’t sat in the warehouse.

Love it or hate it i’m a big fan of the gold coast, worked at white water world and dream world theme/waterpark a few seasons ago on my travels.

I used to work at an online bike retailer and we used to ship out quite a few, very popular bike and quite light.

Theres always miles of track on gumtree.

The Dawes Blowfish is worth a look.

Friend of mine had his bike lifted from his outhouse in Clifton a few months back. Will keep my eye out around Bradford.

It appears he was too late to book onto an organised trip. The ferry company that brought him back have offered free trips in the future to any further WWII events.

Was over there a few months ago and the preparations had started already at various locations, was a bit gutted we hadn’t time the trip to coincide with the 70th anniversary events taking place.

I’ll keep driving through en route home from work. Think i said the second mini roundabout but it was the 3rd near the parade of shops that it was sighted.

Fingers crossed.

Steel4real – think i may have seen your friends giant this afternoon in bierley (only a few miles from drig where you said it was stolen from). Young lad no older than 15 was cycling down bierley lane.

I had a samsung galaxy y to put me on as i broke my phone but wanted to wait until the S5 was launched before i upgraded. The internets quite slow but it’s a nice size and has space for a memory card. Prices vary but it can be had for around £40.

Particularly looking forward to the western australia episode having travelled from perth to broome over a few months.

Looks interesting, if it’s been on before i missed it.

Yes Andy, i’ve just picked up your email so i’ll forward you the details.

No worries, don’t seem to be able to give it away!

I needed information about my Recons so emailed SRAM with pictures and they got back to me the same day with all the information required.

Visited the WW1 sites last year and just completed a trip around the Normandy area. Only had limited time but its another area well worth a visit taking in local cemeteries, museuems, beaches, fortifications and towns/villages.
