I had that budget and bought a Passat TDI 130 Highline estate on an 05 plate and haven't regreted it. The Mondeo was the other car on my shortlist.

You mailed him in an attempt to provoke a response then started a thread about his reply. Or am I confused?

There are worse classifieds abusers than Manwells. Perhaps Barry could get all Equalizer on them?

From your amusing post it seems you have already made your mind up to go local.

Stunning? Nah, nice but not stunning. Judging from the photos the OP is a tall fella and no bike is stunning in a big size. Headtubes are too long, ruins the look.

You are married to a small middle aged Asian woman with 7 kids in the car?

I drift from one music style to another but keep on getting sucked back to DnB, where I started way back before it was even called drum and bass. Currently into Blu Mar Ten, D-Bridge, Marcus Intalex and still loving the old skool boys Fabio and LTJ Bukem.

EDIT – nearly 34 years old, been raving for half my life!

My own bike is tucked up in the warmth in the dining room at my house about half a mile away. My GFs bike and my loaner bike are in the shed about 20 paces away with two vicious cats guarding them.

Nor would I mess with the Spanish police!

I know how heavy Chinese bikes are. I wouldn't mess with a man who could throw one.

Invest in felines, the market is booming.

I find it amusing that people are trying to equate heroin to biking. If you knew that you could end up mugging a granny for your XTR rear mech would you have started riding?

oooh look at my bike it is so niche. Nope sorry, it is a pig. i don't care how it rides, I would prefer to be seen riding your mum.

Ketamine is too dribbly for the dancefloor. I reckon good old booze might be making a come back.

Sounds like media bull to me. Cut it with anything other than something that is potentially going to reduce your client base.

Dirty drug music. But not worked out which drug it works best with. E is too lively, coke too moody and weed just too sit down.

A piece of paper does not make a great cycle mechanic.

From the stolen bike thread –

YOU SHOULD HAVE INVESTED IN A GOOD LOCK YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME!

Yep prize winning cock jockey.

Not a great trader judging by the amount of times the same ads appear.

Good coke is great, rubbish coke is just a money sucking blackhole as you chase a high that is never going to happen.

Smugness and a sense of superiority by the looks of things Tim29er.

Speed, coke, mushrooms, ecstacy on a regular basis, MDMA, ketamine, GHB, "legal highs" which could have been anything but probably ephadrine, weed and booze. Drew the line at anything performance enhancing though, that shit is bad news.

There is a lot of stuff out there that can **** you up. There is plant food that can get you high.

Rear

If you use the front adaptor on the rear it would be spaced for a 140mm disc.

That is not the one. What size rotors are you planning to run?

None, I gave all my part used ones away as I needed to accrue some positive karma.

Looks like the Cyflym Coch uses some of the old RedBull loop which was always a nice warm up.

"my nomad (2007) was made in california"

My Cannondale was made in the USA, it cracked. When Rockshox shifted their production from the States to the Far East quailty went up. Made in the USA means nothing IMO.

Cafes.

If you're parting for 6 hours from midnight to 6am, why not start at 3pm the previous afternoon and finish at 11? That's 2 hours more!

Because parties can only really get going after the sun goes down.

Because there is always one in the group who says "go on, just one more" and time becomes a bit wobbly and meaningless.

This is 2008 calling, can I have my advert back?

Hang on, let me just ask my mother-in-law…

Actually her husband bought it and at present she thinks he is the biggest A-hole on the planet so your theory could be sound.

08 and 09 are the same brakes. I have a set and they are very good indeed. I had a set of LX and a set of the pre-servowave XT which were reliable stoppers but the current ones just feel better.

You come to a forum inhabited by sweaty lycra wearing bearded (probably) men and ask to be loved? You deserve everything you get.

Sorry, I am forgetting this is 2009. Shedfire?

On-One?

You’re happy. Higher marks than the OP just for your poor spelling.
