I blame the high oestrogen levels in modern processed food. :lol:

and this

Could have been my face next time.

Remeber kids, bikes don’t kill people, pedals do. :lol:

a lot more amusing then which road bike or who shaves their legs/arse!

I turned when I bought mine. Proper Graham Norton.

genuine chuckle :D

pastcaring – thanks for the offer, sorry I’ve been busy and didn’t get back to you. If you have the spring still I’ll try it, how much are you looking for?

it’s to heavy for me, so call it a pint.

but i don’t think i’ll be in london till next thursday, maybe sooner? drop me an email (in profile), we can sort something out.

@ G.R.F.

you know thats gonna upset lots on here, going by recent post they’ve mostly turned into roadies :D

keep up the good work :wink:

also not ideally suited to 20 inch wheels either. i’ve done a few runs with brooklyn jnr (so his dad can get some proper runs in) the kid has no fear, riding behind him through a little rock garden, he still gets thrown around a lot. when he disappeared at speed off the side of the track otb into a large bush, i feared the worst!
he got up pissed at himself for crashing :D

the brooklyn is a custom frame, also has a custom fork crown that runs on top of the head tube. the fork will be the hardest thing to get right.imo!
i’ve also seen the fs frank the welder made for his kids, also very nice. it was for sale for $600 but had 24 inch wheels

decent tyres are also a problem.

there is nothing available off the shelf. your gonna have to get something made or wait till your kids a little bigger…

:D

custom brooklyn, does help if your dad owns the company.

plastic/nylon seat post shim?

this may sound odd but,

i imagine it in my head first, if i can picture myself doing it i can do it. if i can’t see a line in my head then i usually cant.

i don’t think i’ve ever felt so bad
Don’t. If they were good parents they should make their children wear a sign, to avoid such incidents and the subsequent awkwardness, it’s only polite.

I’m kidding, by the way.

made me smile :D

jedi rides flats.

just read that it is limited to 140 mm fork.

popster

there’s an old saying, look before you leap! next time you see a drop just check it’s not a 100 m first…

but, next time you are ringing and shouting and not getting any response, remember you could be cycling behind a deaf person.

ot

i was in the pub with my dog. two little girls come over and start feeding the dog cheesy biscuits.
asked them to stop feeding the dog, they carried on so i told them don’t feed the dog. they still carried on,
i was getting a little pissed off with being ignored, again please stop feeding the dog.
one of the parents came over and apologized and said they were both deaf!
i don’t think i’ve ever felt so bad :(

i would guess? that it will be limited to a 140 fork, same as the yeti 5

iirc rev at 150 are 530 a-c, so 510 lowered to 130?

The angles of dangles are all too steep

pretty much in line with other bikes in that category (niche)

I need one of those. Weird spec though – they give head angle measurement with a 501mm axle to crown fork which IIRC is something like a Rev wound down to 130mm. Why? The LT/LTc head angle is quoted with a 529mm A2C which is exactly a Rev or Fox 32 at 150mm. This is meant to be longer travel than an LT

it’s a 5 inch travel frame?

and not a 4x frame, just a trail bike.

lets hope they do a aluminum one

funny :wink:

Don’t matter Dezzie you can’t just go round smacking people (and breaking the Law) simply because you don’t like their attitude.

i don’t think some coppers agree with you

do you really want an expensive crank with no warranty?

Mechanical prototype means build a cross between a Mondraker, Trance, Cotic amongst others and see who whinges about patents after you release a pic or two…….

:D

maybe this will clear things up

thank you for an honest answer!

don’t listen to any rules that people may tell you and just have a good time. There’s plenty of time to become a miserable, anal, tyre pressure gauge carrying killjoy once you’ve got experienced.

i’ve been riding for nearly 20 years and i didn’t know there were rules till i started using this forum!
now i know there are rules i ignore them :wink:

so why is a coppers word worth more than a member of the publics! i don’t expect there’s an answer.
Ultimately it would be down to the magistrate to decide who they believed.

so i’d still be **** if the copper was lying! ( lets not kid our selves that some coppers will and do lie)
i’ve seen how the old boy network works!

don’t get me wrong i’ve dealt with some great coppers! (i was recently a witness to a road fatality) but also dealt with arse holes who try to put words in your mouth…

It is enough that a Policeman alone witnesses something as simple as running a traffic light.

now this really does piss me off.

copper could be having a bad day, could make up all sorts.
lets face it there’s loads of arse hole copper around, same as there’s lots of arse hole members of the public.

so why is a coppers word worth more than a member of the publics! i don’t expect there’s an answer.

could of made the bed properly! :D

loverly place, my dog has taken over my cabin it looks more like a kennel :oops:

The policeman would not need a corroborating witness in England

then that is shocking, why would a coppers word be worth more than mine?

i’ve watched this a couple of times now.

the copper was absolutely useless! surely he should of just arrested the rlj for the offense?

sorry another question.

if there is no other evidence apart from the coppers, then is it not your word against his?

thanks three fish!

i thought you had to give your name and address, is this not the case?

love dogs but….

get off the bike, keep bike between you and the dog, shout at it. if this doesn’t stop the dog and it’s still trying to bite you through the gaps in the frame kick/stamp it hard. dealing with more than one dog can be hard, but one will be the leader and will usually be the first one trying to get to you. if you stop this one the other will think twice.

a squirt in the face from a water bottle is also supposed to work, but i use a camel pack.

i would report it to the police, it’s the owners responsibility to keep his dogs under control and he clearly isn’t!

your right, i shouldn’t encourage your personality defect. maybe you should take elfs advice and see a professional.

Blatantly untrue.

What actually happened was that you were bored outside the gym, saw a cheap lock and then invented this whole story. Quite what possessed you to actually post it is a mystery. Drink perhaps?

+1

are you in that much need of attention…

run while you still can!

oh and welcome
