Had 29er Beavers all winter, may not be much fatter but they are amazing and are actually fairly fast rolling. I love’d the mud x but it’s beaver for me from now on.

Yep 45 miles of sodden, windy, miserable sussex downs…. glad i’ve only got 1 gear, as was pretty grindy for round here!!! hosed myself down as well as the bike.

It’s well worth the walk to bikeshed.

left some blue energy drink in my bottle which grew a very fetching vivid blue mold.. still havn’t cleaned it as i’m scared it’ll bite me…

Damp sucks, hope you manage to get it fixed. Had to replace lots of wood due to gutters leaking when i bought the house. it’s amazing how a simple fix left for ages causes so much damage.

Yep really help with support and stop injury. If you can, get them fitted in a proper run shop as there is a lot of difference in shoes and feet!

yep and get the recomndation of some nice kind STWers! Thanks all!! (well nearly all..)

ace thank you!!

Stunning bike!! As an avid singlespeed fully rigid rider for pretty much the same reasons as you, it certainly floats my boat!!!

Have a look at the roval pave sl from Evans £179.99 and near 1500 with deep section rims too.

Xtr/xt with Ali spider or hope floating. Both excellent. Or maybe splash out and get the ice tech ones?

Koenigsegg have always been the top of my lottery wish list. May need to buy some cheaper smaller supercars first to lean how to drive one of these things!!

actually closer look revealed tabs around the bb so maybe a new model? or just a doodle to sucker me into thinking so!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh I love indy but that is horrible. Ah well, I bet some people love.

Has anyone got one of the 29er norco judan bikes? Full build was about £1300 and came with the beltdrive as standard.

Used them for the trans Wales and at the end the only part of me still in one piece were my hands. Awsome grips but for normal riding I also use the much thinner ones without tue paddle. Fit well, last ages and do in thin and fat stylee

I love seeing the variety everyone has!!

20″ el mariachi

I had the same dilemma recently. Came across the Tomac Flint from crc that is cheap and about 4lbs too. They look good and can also be run singlespeed.

+1 for the mavericks but also have a look at the bonty ones too, they have a really good foot bed and fit better than anything else I tired.

mboy – yep we’re way down below that already!!! Don’t think STW can get much lower so therefore anything goes….

its a stunning frame no doubt, must be rare, however I am still amazed on the final price

crumbs!!!

Thought so, nice idea. I guess i’m surprised it’s viable to produce even though I know there is a small market for it.

It’s the normal back end then wooooaaaahhh there, whats going on up front!!???!!

2010 base model, supposed to be the new non cracking frame one.

😯

Wifey had a very cute syrian, they have huge balls however. Usefull tool to sex them so you don’t end up with millions!!!

edit: isn’t the internet great!!

Just ordered one too….

I really like it! very nice. I bet it goes like stink

Wow that is one high set of bars!

How about the Tomac Flint? From Chainreaction, £400 and very light ali?

Brighton has gone mad, I was charged £5.05 for a pint of guiness. I was more outraged that they felt £5 wasn’t enough and had to add on an extra 5p!!! Didn’t even taste that great.

Evans have some roval pave sl on sale from £300 to £180 which are about 1650g so pretty light! I think tjts cheaper than the fulcrum r5 cx’s.

post a pic! would love to see it.

I have a bmx tat, does that count?!

Well it looks a bit crap because of the shopper bars and the front QR is on the wrong side

After seeing this happen to a hand, I always put my skewers on that side!

I know your pain after going through practically every ISIS bb out there thinking everyone one of them was creaking, turns put it was my sliding dropouts. I now have a stock of ISIsS bb’s. I you havn’t already, try some copper slip on what ever your ss solution is ( unless it’s using a singulator then ignore me!!). You to may have a collection of perfect Isis bb’s too!

Oh and if it is the bb, my superstar one was poorly sealed and is now crunchy. I am runing a crank bros one that has been in for 2 years no issues.

In The Scottish highlands they are very wise and actually put up road signs saying; frustration causes accidents, allow overtaking

110mm flipped, flat bar…. I am odd however
