Oh God. Pity the poor sod who has to live next door to that guy!

Well that did it. Extra 10% off Vitus bikes this week. Happy with that timing! Ordered the Escarpe VRX 27.5. Total cost 1700 quid delivered. Hope it turns up quicker than my Canyon.

Wow love your lawn transporter.

How tall are you Lewis? I’m 6ft and not sure if I’d prefer a 27.5 or 29.

Any idea why they broke? I mean were these kids hitting the big stuff? I’ve never snapped a frame, even pre-suspension. Just can’t see myself landing that hard.

Sounds good me too.

Do they have sales ever? I know I can get a BC discount but is there any other engle I should be aware of, like next year’s model coming out etc?

That’s all positive then. Is that the biggest bottle you can use Nairnster?

You guys are describing my existence. That was the reason I started this thread. I need to take the opportunity to go for a spin in the evening because my weekends are **cked. :cry:

Yes I found the jumps in Nonsuch! I was thinking something a little tamer than that! Cheers for the info. Would never have found all this stuff without your help.

Do any of you know of any bmx/pump tracks anywhere? I would like to take my boy to one.

Yes I’m definitely up for a meet up, but currently struggling for time with 3 kids and numerous weekend commitments (hence the need for very local riding). Will come along if I can. I tend to be able to find more time in the winter.

I have clocked the odd bike parked there. That is a very long commute! I will have to have a go at that route, thanks.

Brilliant, thanks everyone! Particularly the top of Sandy Lane tip – I hadn’t ventured up there (other than to drool at the houses). Would that be your gift shop then Zippykona?

It’s expired but I got in touch with them and they gave me the discount anyway. That’s a company that’s out to impress. I hope the product lives up to the customer service.

Whats the £30 off code? I’m up for a pair too!

I just got the Castelli one. Bought the XL and medium. The XL is a good size, the medium is going back. It’s a decent looking bag and tighter to the saddle than the Ortlieb.

I wish them luck. It isn’t easy to run a business. I really hope they keep going because I sent a pair of shorts back the other day and havent had a refund yet.

Thanks – found those but couldn’t quite believe it wasn’t possible to get them cheaper / sooner. Presumably it’s not worth using generic / unbranded / different spokes?

Thanks both much appreciated.

Thanks, that’s both very helpful and also making it harder! I agree re colours, I want a black one really. They’re probably both a bit over biked for me but the same could be said for most stuff I own – phone, car, pc – all capable of more than me!
