more to the point, shouldn’t this thread be in the chat forum???

;)

i predict at least a two hour ride to ensure i’m nowhere near a telly…

Maybe we need some visual help…

hobnobs are oat of stock (see what i did there!! ;) )

pie establishment? you mean Greggs?

And no, I wouldn’t have though that she should be on the case. But it’s telly.

Flippin lundun telly makers. Makin us darzet peepul sound darft.

;)

Meile Downhill cat and dog vacuum FTW!

drink plenty on ride.
eating, maybe 45-60 mins afterwards.
other excercise = about an hour of walking per day other than that i’m pretty sedantry

maybe don’t take on enough kcals while riding though. might try that angle.

cheers for the input.

Maybe a pint after driving instead…

Needs beetroot adding.

(Vegetable matter helps retain moisture, colour is masked as well.)

Is that a folding table on the front??

Always preferred the badger stinger out of all their concoctions…

Someone say fantasy road race????

League pin 12615 singletrackworld ;)

Waldo, it was on the internetz but took a lot of looking for!!

pc or mac?

funny this should come up as i asked for a quote from a local framebuilder a month or two ago…..

came back as follows:

Good to hear you know what you are after! I only use 853 for top and down tubes. Its properties are wasted on seat tubes and stays so I use 4130 cro mo which is easy to get hold of and cheaper. I could do an 853 seat tube if you were desperate.
I would shy away from a tapered head tube, it’ll add so much cost. 44mm head tube is a nice option if you can live with the look.

The frame would be in the region of £1000 and would include the following:
44mm head tube
853 dzb top and down tubes
columbus seat tube and stays
fillet brazed throughout (no lugs)
custom made dropouts for the bolt through
any number of cable guides exactly where you want them
replaceable mech hangar and a couple of hangers
68mm bb shell
142 rear spacing
31.6mm seatpost size for max dropper compatibility

Yeah, I might have to just get the vaults and swallow the cost

About £5k this year.

not a skater myself but these guys (in Poole, south coast) may be worth asking:

+3 on that gpx!

You can for the 2012/2013 model years, not sure about earlier ones.

Les miserables tomorrow
Sleeping in cinema

:lol:

600euro!!?!

+1 on the stealth bling.

having said that my black and green c456 isn’t the most stealthy bike :|

less flex that the 32. very plush, (2013 spicy516)

wanted one since launch, eventually got a test ride on one with Cy (thankyou!!) but ultimately didn’t suit me.

So having said that I would highly recommend riding one if you can as (to me) it felt quite different (not “bad” just different and “feel” is so personal) to what i was used to and at the time i was looking for a new bike different isn’t what i wanted (or needed).

+13

backpack

WINNER!

thanks Bokonon, just the ticket!!

balls.

oh well, looks like i’ll have to ditch the TV lead….

2013 version is VERY good, and worth considering if you have the budget…

Rode there today, very wet indeed. Was passed by a group of 6 29er HTs going nose to tail fairly quickly…

Lapierre spicy 516 with a bit of haggling can be had for just over the top of your budget. Climbs, descends, jumps (allegedly)

Epic bike.

:roll:

Google does, in fact, suck ass.

I believe the original is “Godspeed you black emperor” by east Hastings

Intro music from 28 days later

Just remember to turn the clutch to “off” when you take the wheel out or you’ll bugger it up.

:oops:

Hope hoops or mavic crossmax st/sx seems to be the big 2/3
