if you’ve waited this long I’d say you’ve waited too long.

should have asked in interview and if not, should have rang at latest after a week

randomjeremy – how is it conspiracy to defraud? is the similar PSA: cheap XT brakes conspiracy to defraud? if I bought something at a good price anywhere and tell people about it, is that conspiracy to defraud?

that’s the point, neninja.

Best case = we get rotors.

worst case = we don’t and can cause DH a load of miter like they’ve (allegedly) dished out in the past.

I have never ordered anything from them. why? about 8 years ago i needed a new front wheel. I knew what hub I wanted, but needed some advice on the rim choice. I rang them up, and to cut a long conversation down, I was told to *(“$ off as I didn’t know what I was on about. Now I know this wont come as a surprise to many, but at the time I was pretty upset about it.

Like someone said earlier…if it costs them 50p or whatever to change the transactions and has to spend employees time in doing it….that’s tough! If they don’t refund, then they are breaking the law pure and simple.

before anyone says it, i’m not a woman scorned ;-)

my order was the first…i just hope thats the one that slips through the net ;-)

i wonder what the lead-time for a million rotors is from hope?

on a more serious note…….if its out for food, let her order first….never good when you order garlic and she hates it :oops:

hence why I’m glad I have card insurance……..and live 20 mins away from Northwich ;-)

out of interest…for those that have ordered….how many did you order?

“Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall affect the Buyer’s statutory rights as a Consumer.
”

This could be interesting very costly for dave hinde

wonder who the first person to order 100 of them is goiong to be….

probably not….but worth a try…

and I’m sure theres some legal bullsh1te cases I can use to argue my corner :)

reading this and there is an ad for free dental implants including consultancy, hotel and airfare…….LOL!

i don’t know how to embed a picture into a post…but someone PLEASE put some of the latest Transformers up!!!

at all times be professional. explain your concerns to your agent and let the negotiate on your behalf.

from an agents’ point of view, there is nothing worse than a candidate who thinks they are the gods’ gift and think they have been wronged for whatever reason (a la don simon’s implication).

Remember it is the employer making the offer, not the agent, so be nice to them! We may not have the best of professional reputations, but there are some good ones out there.

The company will be offering what they think you are worth, with room to progress money-wise. Just remember that any significant hike now, could be your next pay review early thus leaving nowhere to grow…….

It was pretty quiet between 1992 – 1999 post first Iraq war era, pre 9/11 era.

by pretty quiet I guess the Balkans weren’t very loud then??

cheers jonny, but not on 12mm rear…..bought some now anywho!

just hope they live up to all the hype :D

my attack trail is black with ano red hubs, headset, brake levers, piston caps, grips, skewers & seatclamp

if the money comes through, the chameleon will be all black with gunsmoke seat clamp, hubs and either skewers or floating rotors

the inbread (if i ever do build one) will be white and black…ska two-tone stylee

foxy – you’re right….also means I need to buy a new cassette, tyres, tubes and rotor….more smiles!

kawato – thanks…seems like a standard STW wheelset that wont upset many haha

ll black, no hope hubs allowed.

guess the same is true of king?

Graham – they’re 26″….i look stupid enough on a bike as it is without doing a bambi impression……

CHEERS :D

stoner – living up to your name there ;-)

jedi – just had a look……..wish i had that to spend!

thanks for the advice all

cheers – never been but looks nice!

thanks all – please do keep them coming in!!

quick question, stevenk4563 – where is the picture of the Cham taken?

thanks to all so far…keep ’em coming!

i got the ad. i read the ad. i didnt buy = crap ad

EDIT: i’d by a set of bombers after seeing that though

Not been to any you meniton, but the Turks & Caicos islands are turely amazing

Hey up Mark! Can you send me an email?

Must admit, I was happy with the XC/X3.1’s I had off you…..

iain – though about it but the new hoops will take over the old ones at somepoint!

I’m on Hope XCs at the mo and thinking Evo’s for the new set. Hopefully they won’t be all that different?

cheers all.

I think I can run with this now – right, shopping time for some evo/flows, cassette, tubes & tyres and some rotor shims.

I love that feeling of spending money on bikes….just not looking at bike statements lol!

looks like it wont be the easy fix I thought about then. Currently got hope XC’s and thinking of EVO / Flows for the new set. I know they are too nice for commuting work but I want to build up something nice over time and I may as well use what I buy!

anyone have experience of alternating between hope xc’s & evo’s? Brakes are Hope M4’s if that matters

cheers

the current set up probably has less than 100 miles on it….

My ex-wife parked her car….

Plus my girlfriend is now my wife….

didn’t learn then? 8O

si@progressive – can you email me please?

morgs dot bdavies at gmail dot com

cheers

si@progressive – can you email me please?

morgs dot bdavies at gmail dot com

cheers

looks like thats me told!

thinking of it another way round now….buy a nice wheel set (hope / flow’s) then use the hope xc / mavics as a commuter set and start ‘adding’ to the bits box until i get a nice HT built.

grrrr decisions decisions lol
