lol.

cheers think i’ll use a couple of the aldi ones if i can get some and a similar to aldi but different branded one i have aleady.

Thanks for your advice, much appriecated.

my 1999 Cromo custom build sunn.

cheers Carlos. Just the ticket. 🙂

Northwind would you consider an 1.5 metre oxford with 8mm links as in ‘the heavy but okish’ camp or the ‘cheap easily cut camp’. It will be used with another similiar item of a different same brand.If need be I’ll stick with the D locks, and the a ok mtb that’s the way i’d go. However life would be simpler if i could use a lampspost for the bmx as I can lock it to more.

cheers. It’s only to secure a cheap mongoose hack bmx. But it will be left in a shopping area until late at night.And I really hate theives! and still love my hack bmx! Think I will stick with my D locks and try to find a cycle stand to lock them too. I have since seen 8mm Oxford chains on amazon for cheap for £20. That’s the sort of thing I am after. However I am glad I now have some info about this.

Thanks everyone. esp. Northwind!

true on the steel rigids and dh bikes. granted. but these companies do not produce an entire range with different price points ( excpet mAybe for Spesh) From a business perpective they are different. BMW is a dh/fr/dj co. Didn’t know curtis did completes maybe they do. My point was as a company offering a range of different bikes they are back.None of the above does the same as Sunn as a business, taking into consideration price points, matierals used and range of different bikes as a complete company ( except maybe Spesh to a degree) Take your point tho.Sorry but cannot help looking at things from a business perspective.Not in the market for new bike otherwise I’d have the technical bike hat on.

yes. i believe so.

who sells off the peg steel fr/dh completes then? other than microbrands / keewee maybe .Who sells steel rigid completes ( other than micro brands) . i thought they looked different. 🙂 . They had a high profile in the UK during 1998/99 I went to a number of shops and they had the entire sunn range from bmix to sunn xc to Steel DH bikes. Maybe it was a london / bordering London thing.

there’s been a couple of old ones on the bay a while ago. IIRC there was a 1999 new condition cromo notion complete bike a couple of months back Keep looking they do come up from time to time.

just been browsing chainreaction although i am sure other bikeshops stock sunn too.

for a long time they’re bikes have never interested me.Now Seem to have some really interesting and different bikes. Granted techincally they have not gone away, but their profile has been low in the UK.When I say back I mean Back doing what originally made them great in the first place, when they had a higher profile, rather than back as a company.

some of the technical Descents in Les Arcs with TA.

i stopeed getting aldi ones as I didn’t like the lst ones I had. Didn’t work properly. Had some d’arcs and thought they were great.They eventually broke though. Cheers. will have a look at enduras and probike thanks.

no worries.glad it helped 🙂

he looks like a really nice dog. Well done for giving him a decent home.

Can still remember my first few feet riding without stablisers as a kid. Loved it from that moment on. Had a mini chopper and also loved riding my sisters, mini fat tyred kids bike.I winded myself a few times on that. Used to ride down dirt track alley ways all the time and do circuits around the block.Was always interested in the tour de france as a kid too.. Then bmx’s came around…

was into bmx when i was a kid and so were all my friends at the time. Bought BMX action bike monthly and rode loads. Did a few races, but a group of us regularly rode the local bmx track and used to visit the local bikeshop lots…Went to the ‘bike show’ and first watched trials riding too. My friend’s dad built us a massive ramp that he had in his front garden..

Then MTb’s came about.. friend got a Muddy Fox and I went with him eyeing up all the Muddy Fox bikes on sale…I got an ATB and rode that alot…

Then got a car and gave up for ages,, only to return eleven years ago.. 😀

i’d be careful. I’ve taken upa bit of running recently and my knees hurt. Legs kinds feel stretched after yrs of cycling.

like the seattle one best.

looks fun.

I found to bleed mine properly I needed to wind out the reach adjuster to fully open the lever, bleed then adjust back, otherwise mine did the same as yours iirc The magura forum is good for problems

prefer my 4x bike. i think it’s because I have ridden so much different stuff on it ranging from street, urban blasts,xc to dh/ play biking. The only thing I ever adjust is the saddle height.Also I quite proud of the fact the design is 7 years old and was ahead of it’s time. featuring similiarities to todays burley ht’s.

swinley dry yesterday, bmx track dry today.happy days.

nice find. good to see it go to a good home.looks cracking.

depends what have the moment

kurt cobain (RIP)

in fact i think that everyday.

thought the same today too.

cheers. That’s great. Thanks all.

cheers wouldn’t mind one myself 8)

aren’t they great.

played at swinley for 3 hours. 😀 lovely and dry.

that look superb! Like the colour coding. Hope you get on well with it.

tis an interesting point. Heavier bikes feel more stable and planted, lighter bikes accerate quicker. The DH i’d personally choose a medium weight bike.

DH risers for me.Truvativ are great

if you see an out of breath umpa lumpa on a black heckler with a green pisspot – say hello! 😆

NickyB – why soho? I am not that sort of man!!
