Would concur with the “you’ll more than likely drop it in the first year” thing so don’t be too precious over a first bike.

Cbr600fs is a weapon in the right hands and an awesome all rounder.

well a friend borrowed the c456 that the crosstrails are on and properly bounced the rear on a kerb with a VERY bad bunnyhop and there’s not a sign of it with it being out of true so they are fairly strong :lol:

If i was buying again, for the ~£200 difference i’d go for crosstrails. or crossmax SX for the wider (21mm) rim.

i’ve got both.

crosstrail hub is louder (might need lube though!!), marginal weight differance, crossmax st looks better.

cannock is about 45 mins away.

a bit crap, but a snippet…

They do sound EEEEEPPPPICCCCC!!!!

mine (on a spicy516) performs very well in climb and trail but blows through travel in descend.

and its got a creak so will be going back to the shop tomorrow.

a keen negotiating skill is essential when hunting in the classifieds. i’ve had many offers turned down before getting a cheeky offer accepted.

CARNAGE NOW!!

it’s ok, he must be in ‘merica with that spelling!

bike park?

Got some ea50 mid rise in the garage, not too pretty but structurally sound if you want em…

Had one of the original attacks, failed miserably after just a few uses. Taped seams all fell off and main zip failed (3 or 4 teeth came off rendering it useless)

LBS swapped it for a gore one that has performed flawlessly….

Cheers! Was only searching on the mavic site…

Ran a 70mm one on mine ( instead of the 100mm one)

Kenwood toaster and kettle here. 8 years old and working a treat, just need to descale the kettle occasionally.

Garden: dog needs walking more.

bike: Loads of bar spacers + lots of seatpost + saddle all the way forward on the rails = confused :?

Is that the right frame size for you?

Jeebus… Makes me realise exactly how lucky I’ve been after breaking both wrists and a collarbone, then being back on a bike after 4 months.

Glad to see you’ve recovered enough to get back out riding again!

Sweeden.

WT actual F???!

Yeah, saw that after I posted but was a bit slow for a ninja-edit!!

Gotcha. Will happily pop them in hand luggage for a single ticket!!

I thnik i’ve got a set of 685mm ea50 lo-rise in the garage you you could have for not very much money….

furry muff. will dig out the wetsuit. might ask the dog if he wants a go as well…

airborne, hmmm. probably not.
roadbike, doubtful.
surfing, last time i did that was SW Australia and got dropped on my head. gave up surfing there and then…

alfabus, chats all the time. in fact more sense than me!

has the speed adjust twiddleyknob been moved?

The pic I posted is the uprising (150mm trail bike)

That looks “right”!

Just been upgraded for my company van from peugeot bipper to renault trafic. Massive step forward, better drive, quieter, comfier and cavernous in the back.

My one was a preregistered one with 26 miles on the clock and on the forecourt for 11,995 from 19k.

Fraid I can’t comment on pcp or finance though…

Try facebook. Look for gee atherton, it’s on his page
