^ What he said.

Buyer has been trying to find the reserve

It seems like 7 of your last 11 posts have been about this bike frame.

Are you affiliated with the manufacturer?

Nuke-proof is one of those brands that was innovating and genuinely cool in 1992 and now gets stickered onto the latest generic crap from taiwan – IMO.

And I think there’s a pic of a DH bike frame somewhere on this photo

Buy a CK – you’ll only have to worry about your steerer being scored to buggerey.

I suggest you buy a cane creek s8 – stainless steel bearings don’t rust

Or a CC Aer headset – no bearings at all !

Healing vibes to him, but how on earth did he manage to go down so hard in a flat field ? 😐

Is it here … 1:42 into the video ..?

MTB solo (ie. racing) = Yes – I have a special ‘fast’ playlist on itunes 🙂

Road/City/Commute = Yes – almost always.

^ I ride into central london everyday and don’t see why I need to ‘hear’ anything? There’s always cars on every side of me – so I don’t need to hear them coming!

Although if I was road cycling on the North York moors – with long winding roads and a bunch of idiots racing about at 60-odd mph then I think I’d want to hear them coming up behind me

Shock’ll be alright – x-fusion make good stuff.

monster cross is usually an mtb with drops … or a cross bike with mega-fat tyres

Yes.

I had an old centaur chainset on this..

Probably not the answer you wanted though 😀

I’m not sure, but I think this is a new one from on-one

Women on horses hot? God no! They are look like podgy, arse-faced posh-brats to me.

Judging by my Ex-Gf and all her friends at the equine college, they are.

Realman,

The front rim is a 35mm DH rim (but lightish) so it makes the tyre profile flatter/ better for cornering at speed – (no rolling over the side) It’s also tubeless.

Rear Rim is much more XC – narrower for less contact pitch = more speed! – And built with Rev Race spokes. Front hub ProII / rear XTR.

The colour is a bit of fun 🙂

Some more ideas for you … 🙂

hard to find campy compatible SS dedicated (tall toothed) cogs. But you can use a cassette cog.

Spacers should be available – or use some from old cassettes

Ratio is entirely up to you … I ran 44-16 in london with 28c tyres .. I now run a “2 speed” using 53/39 front and 14t rear

rotherhithe eh?

Ah cox! If I knew my points would be wiped off I wouldn’t have switched Pekoll for Scoles – then back again!

Would’ve been in the top 3 of the STW but for my foolishness!

E13 guide ring – very light but wears quite quickly

Renthal – STIFF, light – long lasting (but $$$)

Cool, some decent riding too.

From watching you ride, your bars look very high .. esp with those forks .. have you tried a wide flat one?

I never realised how much the chain spazzed about! Must remember to wrap my chainstay!

symptoms are: it don’t work

What if you’ve got a lefty?

I use the m540s .. you can get a pair for £30 at ribble

Feel much nicer than the ’20s and bearings still lush after 18 months of daily use!

Pretty much everyone on my itunes …

You need a different road bike is all.

Might I recommend …

29ers – I don’t like ’em.. But they climb like sh*t off a stick.

Carbon can be made STIFFER – and kept lighter.

I remember speaking to a Ti bike designer – and he told be that every season his riders came back asking for more & more stiffness in the rear of the bike (Pros put out a lot of power) – so he had to BEEF up the bike – adding qute a bit to the weight.

*Edit ^ It was actually the Qoroz designer – as pictured above!

IIRC – Chris Chance of Fat Chance fame, never wanted to build a Ti bike as he viewed it as too flexy and inferior to steel in bike frames

Emily Batty Married !!?

Goddamn it, some cat got the cream already.

No. But mine’s identical except the water bottle points towards me, for easier sucking

With the ultimate levers, you can completely unbolt the alu clamp section .. stretch it out a bit, slide that over the bars and into position – then squeeze tight & attach the rest of the lever..

The finish rusts up v.quickly

Fat lot of good yer lights’ll do in the thick fog of red bog. 😯

I wonder if this was used by a principia racer ‘back in the day’ but was really a re-painted TREK.

Same as what they did for the early Kona/Turner DH bike

Looks like a Kosher Princ. frame. Isaac fork was standard issue.

Weird though .. pretty old – maybe 1999-2001 ?

London?

If I were you, I’d arrange to go and buy the bike – hand over the cash, but take a note of address.

Tell him, you’re looking for another bike – and in case he “finds” anything – can you get his name and mobile number?

Hey presto – hand over the details to the Old bill

mark a. has it

If you ran V-brakes in CX, the mud would clog up around the pads (as they are so close to the rim) whereas Canti’s sit way out and don’t have that issue.

^ And as CX-racers run silly road wheels, they are apt to buckle – and the slightest wobble would drag against V brakes and slow you down.

You can get some major power out of Today’s Canti brakes .. the only downside is a tendency to ‘judder’.

I had a nice tioga ‘prestige’ one.

Weighed over 300g 😐

Steel is stiff
