This has convinced me that TQ is indeed lame.

9/10 broken frames are caused by poor riding technique.

It is obviously not Realman’s bike as he is about 12 and couldn’t get a leg over that :roll:

I’ve read a lot of this now and as far as I can see, there’s no way that fitness developed pushing such thin tyres can possibly translate to mountain biking. Think about it, if you were say, training to lift huge weights, there’d be no point in say, doing power cleans with 5kg dumb bells, but in essence that’s what you’re doing with road cycling. As soon as you get on a mountain bike, your feeble road leg muscles will struggle to cope with bigger, heavier tyres

Poor troll.

There are a lot of folk on here who seem to be delusional about their fitness levels in comparison to roadies. I bet even an average road rider could leave you for dead on a MTB :roll:

Spunk it on coke and hookers, investing over that term is pointless.

Orange 5 – the thinking man’s trailbike.

I can’t find anything appealing in that at all, and I love road bikes.

Me too, its beatifully crafted and the build is bling but it just doesn’t gel.

But there have been a few snapped Lynskey built On Ones reported on here

:roll: You don’t think thats down to design then rather than fabrication? Lynskey use a chain/seatstay brace on all of their own frames that are disc brake equipped.

you could always tweak a couple of other parts to be red anodised as well – like the seat post clamp or the spacers on the headset … that way it more like subtle tweaks and matches.

Or buy some blue nipples?

I once came eighth in an International Mounting Bike Race on it

You mean you had to get on your bike as fast as you could?

you haven’t made it onto my ‘cock’ list alongside the Nob Kings.

:lol: Class, I’m going to steal that line and use it as my own.

If GN ^^^^ has hairy legs is it okay to shave then?

You sure your seat position isn’t too high, causing lateral sway at the bottom of the pedal stroke?

I’ve broken 4 frames in 13 months

And you think thats solely down to weak frames and not the way you ride?

I don’t see it as my responsibility to adapt my riding style to suit a weak frame

Well, expect more broken frames then :roll:

You need to change your technique or go for a short travel FS frame, you will just kill another hardtail.

Personally, I would dump the Rohloff and go geared, it will massively widen the choice of frames you have.

Considered a Salsa Spearfish?

*ourkidsam misses the joke totally….*

What joke?

Nah radial all round, makes for nice comfortable wheels.

I think dan1980 has issues 8O

Dont mention times, its not a race and you are likely to upset the elite roadies lurking on here :roll:

Ok – so I could probably keep up on an average club ride then which is good to know

If you could find a club that did 30k runs. Maybe try TT?

Easyrider, you are a piss poor troll. Are you smurf matt?

I see some people are unable to interpret the question :roll:

Google is your friend

Smile?

A cock vs. a skint cock, hmmm…

You answered your own question, just but what you can afford.

The niche warning was not nearly strong enough, I feel violated now 8O

I do skids on ya mams face to make her prettier, proper gnar 8)

it’s boring as nothing really happens the whole way around

What do you expect from a trail centre? You must have such an interesting life :roll:

The colour is a bit poo…

…IGMC

I’m pretty sure I’ll get one soon.

er, what do you want, reassurance?

Just buy it :roll:

Why would you want drop bars offroad anyway, does it make you more aero or just more niche?

How can you call yourself realman with a set of boney girls arms like those? :lol:

I dont know why the c word is considered so offensive, I only really avoid it when in the presence of women or at work.

A SS with STIs, WTF????

Do you have sympathy for public sector workers who are being made redundant or do you think the bleating public sector can go whistle?

No and yes, public sector workers should try working in the private sector, wouldn’t last very long in the real world.

Bike is nice though, is that a 2010?

Yes I know the grass is a mess

Its beyond that, your lawn is truly offensive.
