Probably about £30-£50

It really is worth investing some time and getting your own tools an doing it yourself.

I was worried at first, but glad I managed to do it myself. Theres not much I would go to the LBS for now unless I needed a wheel building.

£3k, thats cheap!!! 8O

Although I am getting married here: http://www.drumtochtyunlimited.com/

YOU NEED THIS

One of these:

PANS LABYRINTH is good too

THE FOUNTAIN (Fricking awesome!!) Sound track gives me shivers man!!!

LOL at onion.

Get a seal one in grey

As I said in my OP, I could but they are a bit boring, everyone has one, wanted something a bit different TBH.

I get a seal one as part of the package, but wanted to upgrade to something else.

I keep having the urge to poor oyster sauce and mushrooms over mine.

yes flawlessly, as long as you size your chain correctly. Im using a medium X.0 with a triple.

Saying that I'd probably go synthetic now

Why?

been there, bought the t-shirt

it has been consistently above 3 degrees here in dundee, so Stirling must be similar? Snow is gradually melting here, maybe by the weekend it will be rideable.

if you go, give us an update please as I too am dying to get out, and interested to see the changes at CV.

I just changed from Panaracer Fire XC's to NN 2.1's and will never look back, so far they seem a great tyre even in the snow. Mine come in at 954g for a set so pretty light.

Thanks for all the advice Ill make a decision tonight.

the multiple best man idea is good, but weve kind of done it before. There was 3 of us, we had a brain wave during the church service that we should come bearing gifts like the 3 wise men and one of use had to run to the nearest tescos, we got them BOLD, frankfurters and Murr-malade!! (it got a laugh during the speech anyway!) :-)

I can vouch for Giro helmets, really comfy, with removable foam inserts, openable vents and removeable ear pads.

If you are going for the gnarly boarder baggy panted skier look then check out the Burton RED helmets.

Bamboo is good for bike frames apparently:

I am going to Zermatt, Switzerland for mine in March, but me and the missus are huge snowboarders. But we are going posh and staying in a boutique hotel.

Just got one for commuting and night riding. Not used it yet but so far seems okay

Thats like one of those reviews you get on amazon for movies or games that havnt been release yet. LOL

This games gonna be awesome when it comes out , 5 stars, buy it!!!! :D

Thats said, I have a joystick and its awesome, so the Diablo is bound to be good too, no? :D

Stick with the nobby nics. I got a (new) set for £55 On eBay

My girlfriend worked with a guy in the US called BUNNY CATCHER :lol:

whats wrong with seat 1A You sit facing the trolley dolly, unless she is a he?

"pulls up chair"

Ive just convinced the missus that a 3rd "commuter" bike is a good idea as I seem to be wrecking my specialized Roubaix raod bike on my daily commute, skinny tyres are scary in the snow too.

I was thinking of getting a tourer or dare I say it a cyclo x bike.

edit: and I have a carbon hardtail which I definitely wont be using with this amount of salt and grit on the roads after my experience of delaminating my carbon seat stays on the road bike.

HAVE YOU TRIED A CAMELBACK THERMAL CONTROL KIT:

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

if you type XMAS at checkout it is still working for 10% off if anyone is interested. :D

dab I wasnt having a pop at Ancrum, as I live locally and have used them on several occasions for biking courses, kayaking & navigation.

Hope they dont suffer as a result of that accident.

Ancrum, but not sure they will be still running courses after that incident at Dunkeld!

I just did exactly the same today, switched from BT broadband and phone to SKY, which all in was costing my £45/month, same package from Sky costs £33.

Will hopefully work out, we will see……………

jesus, whats wrong with LSD and a bit of canabis like I used to do!! The youth of today, tut tut tut.

I actually quite like the look of the "matt" carbon underneath, I may actually sand it all off, as it looks a bit patchy now.

My own fault for using my good road bike for commuting. I showed the other half and she "almost" agreed I should get a cheap bike for commuting, even better as my road bike wont accept panniers and my work has just started the bike to work scheme. :D

mine were down yesterday, wanted house back to normal as dont have time during the week.

Fancied a challenge so I had a lovely ride in on my skinny tyred road bike this morning. Was a bit chilly though. Main roads are fine, but side streets and pavements are skating rinks.

Blue Skies and Sunshine now in Dundee. :D

Yep, me and the missus have had it since the middle of december. Cant seem to shake it.

Funny that a lot of carbon bikes seem to have the red,black and white colour scheme?

The flying scotsman[/url] is worth a watch

Go Obree!!!!
