depends on how cold it is. Sometimes the draft is welcome.

I once asked Nick Craig how he keeps warm after a cold Merida. He replied "ride harder". Inspirational.

21, student.

I was hoping to avoid the pinch bolt option as this would be needed to be done when I change the pads and stuff. Surely too much pinching isn't good?

No problem. If you need pictures and that, email is in profile.

Nah, I don't appear to have these fitted. I was hoping to avoid pulling them through at the calliper as this faff.

I think they are mini v brakes. It's a Genesis Day One cross. I'll have a look at some form of Travel Agent, seems to be what it needs, was just hoping there was some riddle that came with it I needed to solve.

Brakes worked brilliantly on the first ride! I was just using one finger. Then it got muddy.

I have a super old Scott Expert Racing frame, which is aluminium. It's blue and 2003 I think. Well used, but definitely still good to go if you fancy making an offer.

Is it a coincidence there's an advert for a baby care website above the BMX?

I know you.

Small world it is. Certainly do know him, will be seeing him in the pub in an hour in fact. I'll pass a message on!

I'm at St Andrews. Getting stoked for Ae already! Best weekends of my uni career, shame I've only got one left.

psychle- knock yourself out.

PJ266- awesome -where are you from?

then buy it on the internet cheaper!!

Have a look in Caledonian country wear for that.

Not as wrong as this:

Yeah, that was before a summer in the Alps. Pretty pasty white. Can't see what else is wrong…

I love I love I love it

Millions of pictures. I've had two.

This is my old one.

This is my new one. I got the new one because of the larger frame size.

It does it all really. I used it for 14 weeks last summer in the French Alps doing mainly XXXC so lots of big climbs and savage descents. I enjoyed being able to lower the forks a bit, having them at 140mm for climbing wasn't the best but by no means not bad. I did have some 160mm Wotans on, which was pretty sick.

I'm looking forward to getting next years model hopefully.

It's straight out of the box so I've not got new pedals for it yet. Can't wait to take it off road properly.

The stereo isn't that old skool! It's loud.

No way to golf, it's an incredible sport. Surely you can't hate something you've never tried.

How about athletics? All that waiting around and waiting around for a few seconds of action.

I live there you know. Gotta go to Gisburn, I'll come with you, I'm definitely going at Christmas.

I operate a gash guard.

It's well XXXC. Must be worth the money (a fiver) for the number of scrapes it's got.

If you don't need a big ring, just do it.

I like to flash my front fog lights on and off at them when I see them. Again, I can't have the back on without the front. It's actually illegal is it not?

flippin' heck. That's possibly the last time I sell on the 'bay.

What size is standard gear cable?

That's mental. That's approximately 10%. Had no idea it was so expensive.

I'm looking forward to trying it out when I'm home for Christmas. Having ridden there since I was about 4 with my dad, I look forward to seeing the changes.

It was definitely Welsh.

NS Bikes surge.

If it's a light bike, get XTR, if not don't bother. Get the 990, it looks awesome with the red.

rofl at mamadirt.

I can't recommend a Surge enough, why it was me who introduced Oli to one (probably). I spent a summer in the Alps doing XXXC so there was lots of brutal climbing and awesome descending and it was a dream. Run mine with coil u turn pikes. Climbing is mint.

Sam, just buy one. (Assuming it's you).

iodine and ambulance dressings. That's all your need imho.

XXXC bars you mean? I use spank Royalas.

That looks well fit. I dream of owning one of those. White bars work most def.

I love my Kaos ul too. It's good to amaze people about the weight.

What is the crash replacement like?

blue.

How about laughing gas? I buy a lot of containers of that and they're cheaper. I've just never had a non-threaded dispenser handy.

Get the HTC Magic or Hero.
