I only joined this forum because I’m such a close and avid follower of the Bush-meister. I’m still trying to work out which forum-member he is.

😯 Its thegreatape??? Whodathunkit???

Take a look at this you tube video of the CX racing on Anglesey

Just found a picture of the White 46.

Fabulous.

I always liked the Jon White designed bikes, the madness of the JW full suspension bikes looked amazing. The Marin bikes of that era were pretty special. Loved my Steel 19 hard tail back in the day too.

We use SMAX in work. Absolutely rubbish. Loads of electrical issues, DPF issues, eats tyres…my money would go on a Toyota Verso.

Dave Hinde, their own frames were great and they offered brilliant customer service….

In no particular order…
Bear Grylls, Tony Blair….
The shit would have to be really rancid.

Sod this…(in true Cartman stylie) shit, shittity, shit, shit shit.

Is the kangaroo guilty then?

Forgot to mention ours suffers from CECS which is common in Border terriers.

Our Border Terrier is 13 years old. Tried letting her off the lead when we first got her and she buggered off. Tried recall training, but if she sees something to chase she just won’t come back. Extendable leads are rubbish, so we use a Police Tracking lead. 12 foot long rope lead, just brilliant.

the bright side, I am learning all sorts of new British idioms, e.g.
“flogging them off”/”bobbins”

Here’s another word “cockwombles”

Cheers Martin. I have the route from Keswick MTB. I take it there are better alternative routes then?

😀 Got some time off at he end of this month too. Quite fancy a go at the Borrowdale bash.

Last hire car we had, ended up booking a “Golf size” car. Ended up with a Fiat 500L. Dreadful car. 🙁

Hi Ape. Whinlatter is great, the North loop is typical trail centre. The south loop is a straight up then down loop. Well worth doing as the descent is lovely. Fast and flowy. There are nice walks for the family and the cafe is a great place to relax.
We have just moved up to the area from North Wales so I am still exploring the areas.

Dangerous place at that time of morning……the amount of nylon means a huge risk of static shock.

Ha ha. Not a chance. There would be several locals waiting for their go if it was.

Cheers zippy. 🙂 great cover.

Dammit… 😳

Waaaahaaaay. 😀
Anyway, if you are buying from Halfwords would you have a decent bike ( just sayin’)( I know, Halfords do good bikes…)

Is this the new forum you are talking about

Does the leader answer to the name “Blackie Lawless”??

OK, took a Stanton Sherpa out today around the whinlatter trails. It really surprised me. The bike itself was a touch heavy, I would probably look at something a bit more XC orientated. But I was surprised at how fast the bike was on the swoopy dh sections. On some tight uphill switchbacks I struggled to handle the bike around, but with the momentum this was rarely an issue. Looking at demo’ing a few more before I buy.

Try saying beer can 3 times into the mirror. 🙂

Cheers psycorp. The bike will be used on a mixture of bridleways and road so the 29er appeals. Looking forward to the demo. 🙂

Shimano AM 41’s. Mine are about 6 yrs old now and need replacing. Not too expensive and just do the job.

Cherry on the top for the leaf party 🙂
