I always used the yellow tin….the green tin stuff was rubbish….not sure where you can buy the yellow from nowadays though

I had a kona stolen back in 2009 and kept checking the usual places, then only yesterday it turns up on a police auction!

The Police nicked it!!!…Bastards

22lbs

+1 for tits!

Got the gloves…not too impressed but for a fiver 🙄
Got the tools as I needed a chainwhip, cassette tool, spoke spanner and cone spanners. They look pretty good….have used a few of them and they havent crumbled to bits in my hands

Would have bought the jacket too if I wasnt skint

Smart Sams roll well and there 9.99 from on one

Cheers everyone

I think of that cyclocross one occasionally when I get lost on the moors.

Usually just after Ive said “lets just cut across this field it doesnt look too wet!”

Its a bit Gnaaar for me I’m afraid.

If you could mellow it down a little I might go for it. Maybe a cake recipe each month?

Thursday apparently 🙁

How big is the seat tube?

Just done an hour’s test ride and it doesn’t feel as heavy as it is. Feels about the same as my Alu hardtail which is 29lbs so I’m feeling better about the weight.

Its all probably irrelevant anyway as I’m going on for 15 stone 🙂

Going up to Lee Quarry later so I’ll see if it works on’t pump tracks

The plan is to get get lighter parts as and when They break or I can afford them….just wanted to build it up cheaply and quickly so I could get in on the road/quarry

Its 16 inch frame so not huge

It has got heavyish wheels Bontrager Rangers with deore hubs and a cast iron saddle, heavy cranks and pedals but still thought I was on course for around 30-31lbs!

I use flats because their cheap, you can get a decent pair 2nd hand for about £15-20 and you dont need special shoes.
Never tried spd’s so i cant compare but cant think how they would benefit me

On One have a Schwalbe sale on at the moment…I got a couple of smart sams for £20

me too 😀

And here we have Malcolm on his new hoverbike

I am 10 years behind on a 2001 Marin because my wages are also 10 years behind!

never understood that hanging off the back of the saddle thing, looks like a shortcut to pain if things go wrong!

Do you live in Norfolk?

If you really do have sausages for fingers i would take the forks to the lbs

Cheers…dont need one straight away the innertube and piece of wastepipe is doing the trick but it doesnt look great!

OOh good call Mister P I’ll call in on’t way home

I’m voting No

AV sounds like a right load a crap and the main reason the labour party now has Ed Millibrain as leader

I want to give up smoking but I don’t smoke.
What brand do people suggest to get me started?

I started on number 6 I think it was the best place to start
Park Drive or Woodbines are an alternative….keep away from JPS black though

Unplug the power cable at the back and leave for 30 seconds.
Plug back in and try again

Might not fix anything but it’s always worth doing 1st before you start taking things to bits

8 months now 😀
after 30 years of hard core smokin’

Still feel like the odd fag though a few times a day

lol

Saw a blacked out silver shadow once with 5ATAN

Dont know if it was appropriate though…I couldnt see through the windows 😐

If its local flooding…where is local?

Phil,

Just scream “Aaaaarghhhh Noooo brakes” as loud as you can….they’ll probably just dive out of the way!

I do agree on that particular route that you should give way to downhillers although I have often come flying down it only to screech to a halt for dogwalkers

It could have been worse…he could have set the dogs on you while he went inside for his guns

Get on yer bike and stop moanin 😀

Hyperpolysyllabicomania is a fondness for big words.

Wow these facts are Amaaaaazin

Not been up there for a bit but I like the new bits at Lee Quarry. They do need to bed in a bit but once they do they will be a great addition

I think it was a clear case of Earing. McCarthy blatantly tried to Ear Rooney and Wayne merely put up his elbow in self defence 😉

Snowblind by Black Sabbath

Not that I’m wishing you go blind and crash or anything

Wot! who the flip is RKane Vire wot is this ship!

Seriously WTF is an RK Fire

Still nothing…….Bacup

Still not here in Bacup….how long do I give it before I decide its lost for good?
