Now if he was a member of the Royal family then he would have none of these problems.

Charlie got a medal for going on holiday to New Zealand.

The Queen's Service Order (New Zealand), awarded in 1983; the Queen's Coronation medal, awarded in 1953 when he was four-years-old; the Queen's Silver Jubilee medal, awarded in 1977; the Queen's Golden Jubilee medal, awarded in 2002; the Canadian forces decoration, awarded in 2002; and the New Zealand commemorative medal, awarded in 1990.

just waiting for mine to arrive…upgrading the Inbred

5'6" and a 16"

Intro

Being twice. Excellent both times. You stay in a lovely mountain side village with great food.

Mike has a policy of NOT making you work for height gain. Which is just as well given how much you descend in a day.

MINT! (in a Mark Radcliffe style…) and no its not.

Ton – thanks for the offer but I'm married…

Guns dont kill people, Rappers do.

I don't really want a memento of someone I didn't like and would rather the money was 'invested' in something I can enjoy.

ie a new frame.

I have the 50Mb and it usually runs between 35 and 40 Mb.

Which is nice.

mmm camper…

Winter Park Colorado 1990.

Epic solo loop of local trails. After 2 hours of climbing I start to finally descend. Get a puncture. No problem so start to fix it. OK where is my pump? Had taken new bike to bike shop for a tweak on the way to the ride and they had taken the pump off and not put it back.

1 hour of pushing bike downhill then had to hitch a lift back to hostel.

Not a happy bunny.

90% of the regular riding Leekies does is in Leigh Woods / Ashton Court. Flatish tight single track in the woods with fairly regular technical sections.

I think he wants to replace this On One Inbred frame for a 29er.

Mini Van with no back seats and home made side windows
Ford Escort estate (really early type)
Citroen Dyane
Lada's X 2 ( :roll:)
Pug 106 (we sold it to them)
Now Skoda Fabia

Slowly getting better (really slowly)

Well, I think all this illustrates why Leeksie wants to have a go on one before he buys one.

Anyway I sure he'll be along to defend his corner.

Are you saying we are all short?

We are NOT welsh…..

OK I'm short but then I ride a normal mountain bike.

Anyway Leeksie the one who wants to be 'different'.

Leeksie is 6'0".

Just ordered a small in Black.

Told it should be about 4lbs.

Shipment due mid Jan.

Cant wait :D

Not mine but I have the same frame so have an interest in the 'market value' of said frame.

'Selling for a friend' always implies 'nicked' to me.

er 4 hours to go you mean…

Time left: 4h 37m 24s (13 Dec, 200918:59:32 GMT)

First the 2 year old got it, then the wife, then me and now the 5 year old.

It's pants (cough cough)

How about a new Pipedream?
£269 for 853 frame

Yeah I'm waiting to hear too.

I reckon May / June. Based only on the fact that they are still at CAD / prototype stage.

I use Bike.

And they will price match or give a discount if asked for.

Saxon – Wheels of Steel

(goes off to ebay to look for some metal)

but this is what he really looks like…

just don't get caught rolling around in it having a w@nk…

Have started saving for mine…

Ti version looks good value…

strange – they work in preview…

I did find a link to the Ashton Court event but its only once a year.

Would 220 magazine have listings of events like this?

Hope is too heavy for a helmet fitting. Sold mine and now use DX

dx light

much better (and I use Hope 4 on the bars…)

Cheers. Just ordered the M

Am looking at getting a Life at the moment (insert joke here) and have been told that running my 120mm Recon's would be fine.

Planet X road carbon road frame £400

so sounds good if its a similar price?

cheap ebay cardon frame

so one could assume more steel 456 price than Ti price….

Are you a pole-vaulter?

No I'm German but how did you know my name was Walter?

China Crisis Oxford Poly 87 – more atmosphere in the toilets..

Don't worry. I emailed Wiggle, asked for one and they sent me one straight away!

I did ask very nicely…

Cheers Ken.

Strangely if you compare the web-sites the Sanderson is only meant to be 0.3" longer. I think I need to see them side by side.

Was looking for someone who had a built up one I could have a play on.

Psyklewerx have a 18" hanging from the ceiling but that doesn't tell me much.

Ta anyway.

Did a easter break from college doing the night shift de-tinning pork pies.

With the money I bought my first mountain bike – a white 1987 Peugeot Ranger from Harry Hall in Manchester. I got sold a 19" frame by a roadie (I'm 5'6").
