Just been in a similar prediciment. I went for a 2010 trance x2 from pauls. The camber looks sweet and the camyon well i am not convinced on longevity. Get a trance.

VDO. German and reliable plus they are meant to be amazing when it comes to warranty stuff.
I bought one with cadence for my road bike and it’s ace.

Sounds promising, I dont do mahoosive drops and such like and I want a bike I can ride all day and not feel shot at the end.

Well it was late last night!
Thanks for the useful input, you’re the best!!

Bumpety bumpy.

I think the whole my horse doesnt like bikes thing is laughable. If you dont have it under control, it shouldnt be on the public highway.

110% lolz!!! Kind of impossible really. Seen as a whole is 100% it’s idiotic, Brentesque management twoddle.

Fig rolls=win. Get your munch on as it’s rude not to.

I wish I was strong enough to watch it. After reliving my own Dad’s passing via that Human body program a few weeks ago, I can’t bring myself to watch this stuff it upsets me too much.
I do however agree that people should have the right to not suffer. Watching someone you love in excrutiating agony with no hope is a horrible thing to witness and deal with over a pro-longed period of time. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
For the actual person suffering it has got to be psychological torture, as you know what is coming and the pain will only get worse but don’t know when it will occur.

What about 0% credit card over 15 months and get something better??
Those Canyon Nerve XCs look good and PAuls cycles always have good deals on previous years models.

Stupid frikking browser!!!!
Had £s selected and it was still showing euro prices???? Think my Flashdance had thrown a paddy.
*Shuffles off sheepishly

If you can dodge a bike, you can dodge a wrench or something.

Looks like a pasty extra from aliens.

I applied for a m&s one but never went through with it (took ages for the paperwork to arrive). Tescos i was approved in 10 minutes amd theres no paperwork.

I have a giant boulder frame which i want to sell. Think its 14″, have some disc wheels with it too. I bought it to build the mrs a bike which never happened.

Do some stretching. I don’t stretch enough, but when I do I notice a BIG difference when on the road.

If its anything like their road bikes it will be great.

I am quite fit, so a bit of weight doesnt matter.
I really cant make my mind up lol.
Not massively bothered by fox forks as i like rock shox robustness (never had a problem with them)

Yes I hate how my X9 mech and X7 shifter have cause me no problems in almost 4 years.

I have Sora on my Defy 3 apart from the STIs it is an ok gruppo.
The 105 6700 on my focus is in a different league lol.

I believe the older design was like the NRS, but this one has a completely different rear end.

Giant Defy or TCR. Try and get a 2010 model.

Boardman is out of stock in my size (small) which is a bummer.

Yeah the Canyons do seem to be flavour of the month. The Nerve XC 6 looks jolly good.

What about this?? http://www.factorydirectbikes.com/bikes/merida_trans-mission_900-d_2009/

I know generally Merida are good bikes.

The guys I ride with have longer travel machines lol. I am more mincecore 😀

Was looking at the newer Boardmans what’s the new suss design about??

To be honest I may end up going 2nd hand.
But Mental Mickey is bob on with what I am after. Budget upto £1500 I reckon.

They are near the Heinz factory. It’s really easy to miss them as they don’t stand out!! I think it’s the units that are off the 2nd right on the first roundabout.

Or octopron

On the other hand when you spend your time moaning about contemplating how shite something is, guess what! how could it not be shite

I like to cuddle puppies. In fact here’s a photo

As long as your out there who cares?

You clearly.

Easy, I think what can I write to stir things up a bit & hey presto there it is………

Knew it

Kona baggies I have had for around 8 years they are bomb proof.

Usually find people who are pretty cack at riding avoid them,ime anyway….

Really?? That’s an interesting point. How do you come to that conclusion??

Trail centres are great, as is riding natural terrain, feel a little sorry for anyone who cannot appreciate them to the extent they avoid them.

I don’t avoid them completely, I am off to the monkey trail on Weds. But I don’t solely ride them I much prefer natural riding. I just don’t get riding trail centres all the time.

The warm smug glow that only comes from passing people on ‘big’ bikes on ss/cx/road/pennyfarthing/unicycle (delete as appropriate).

😆 Ah come on! No trolling!!!

Only prob with jelly babies though is they can get a smidge gooey on long road rides.

Did we just hit a worm hole??

I have the Ballistic Tornado for work and it’s a good watch.
