Very nice, I like the colour. Lots of standover.

My web designer friend always swore by apple macs but he recently had to use win 7 but he said it was impressed by it.

The range of movement of the old mech is probably not big enough.HT11's are wider than chainsets without outboard bearings.

Looks amazing, a lot of money though. Would love to try one to compare with my 03/04 blur.

A lot of couriers ride fixed without a front brake. Don't know how they do it. I ride with discs front and rear and I've needed to stop very quickly a few times. A friend snapped his downtube throught the lug next to the bottom bracket while braking. Think he rode with a really big gear.

How do you rate them?

Lemmy, to be ugly and get to sleep with(allegedly)over 2000 women. He's not really cool now though.

Got the plastic bag over my head right now. Ok it was a bit much I will hopefully still be riding the bike until the day I die

One more reason for me not to get a 29er. I wonder if I should give up mountain biking too?

It was good to see the tables turned. I was cheering the bull all the way. No sympathy for those people sat "safely" behind a fence, taking pleasure in the slow death of an animal.

I am making effort with her. I'll probably end up saying something stupid at some point and blow it…as usual:)

Not been in the van yet so don't know if it's smelly but it probably is. She has one more exam to do before she qualifies as a nurse so don't think a smelly van will bother her too much.

I've been single for a long time. I've had a few disasters and recently a few dates that have gone nowhere. At the moment I've been spending some time with a girl I've known for years. Don't know if she still has a boyfriend so I'm not gonna make any moves on her. She beautiful, funny and intelligent though. Always thought she was way out of my league. I'm going for a bike ride this weekend with her. On Sunday she's coming with us in the van to the first gig of the new band I'm in. I'm just gonna enjoy hanging out with her and leave the ball in her court.

My pro 11 normal hub sounds much louder and better than my pro 11 singlespeed hub. I tried using oil instead of grease inside but it's still not loud enough.

Going to work and not earning much money.

Is it the molybdenum or the unicorn semen that gives it the nice blue colour? You won't get that with gear box oil.

They are fast but I'd rather have a heavier tyre with at least a little bit of puncture protection.

X-Lite Returns!

Worn bushings?

Had some for a few weeks and they are really nice.

Having anodised parts on a bike you have to lock up is like an advertisment for thieves. Had some red bolts holding my brakes on. Came out of supermarket and began to ride, both brakes fell off. Lucky I wasn't going fast.

1 in about 40 mins. Central london ggrrr

Sport contacts have pretty good puncture protection. I've started to use panaracer RibMo 1.25's, they are light and fast. Continental gator skins are rubbish unless you enjoy repairing punctures. Will be putting a schwalbe marathon plus smart guard on the back for winter. Bit heavy but impregnable.

I quite like my stroker trails, lever went sticky after some rain a while back but it went back to normal after a bit of use. Bit tricky to bleed. Pretty powerful and good modulation.

remember reading to go for a bigger size as it will have a longer wheelbase and thus be more stable.

Awesome pics

Can't seem to kill my old xt rear mech. It must be over 10 years old and bent it bad in a crash. Bent it back and shifts fine. Just gone on my new build.

"Baggio, costacurta"

Is it the same as switch cleaner?

If I buy big S again I will get 2 sizes bigger. I've no idea how they work out their sizes.

There is a blue cycle lane now, whoohoo.

Just lots of evans and cycle surguries. On your bike on tooley st. Not really anywhere to drool over mtb's. Wish there was.

Yes it's too much for me sometimes. There are some very nice courier girls too.

My old marathons need new bushes, they wobble quite badly. Took them apart but had no idea how to get them out and new ones in. Not really worth sending them somewhere as they are so old.

The sole on my specialized saw pit shoes has just cracked. They were so comfy. Bought some shimano but they are a bit too small, even though I bought a size bigger than usual. God knows what I'll get next.

I live in london and my off road bike is in leeds. Only get to ride every few months or so. Building a bike for down here though.

Is slsk not the best then? Don't really know much about this peer to peer stuff. It does seem to stop my computer working properly sometimes.

You mean you wouldn't pay an extra £100 for that loud clicky noise?

Feeling sorry for him was my first thoughts. He was a complete ****t to do what he did. There are a lot more out there on the edge I suspect.

When I put on the radio this morning and heard the news I couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for him. Guess circumstances in life can drive people over the edge.
