I would look at a second hand quality option- I tried an older rig and didnt get on with it but have recently bought a built up swift for £500 and absolutely love it- the fork isnt very bouncy though as its rigid!
Me and tazzy were having the same conversation at the weekend- totally against the ss ethos so sod em !!
However up for any alternative unofficial stuff as I have the pass stamped 😛
As the OP responded saying she raced in spd’s and all was good 8 hours ago I reckon the advice saying dont do you will crash horribly is a little ‘after the event’

Picto- glad to be of assistance ( I think!)
I had a very tough ride in Cannock with the family – half the blue route before the girls moaning became too much- give me back ache over ear ache any day!!
Swift for me- had it a few months now and love it- my full susser is feeling neglected!
Surprised no response from Sam- he’s always been pretty quick responding.
Hold on a minute,,,, ‘go faster with less effort’- that must be up my lazy ar%ed street!- Perhaps I could have a play if you ever get round to putting my midleburns on?
To me they all are very similar- I had the smae dilemna in that I had a full sus, a ti456 and ss- I now have a Trek ex8 for big days and a ss rigid 29er (swift) for most days- to me this gives distinctly different choices
Project manager and quantity surveyor- bean counter to the construction industry- pays for stuff i suppose- bit depressing when they start knocking down buildings you were involved in at the start of your career 😥
Got a lightly used ss wheelset from superstar for sale if interested- only problem is they are red- however everyone know red is faster!
Email in profile if interested
German short haired pointer here and rescue springer- pointer would be better I would say from what you have said- as long as you can afford to feed them!
Not sure if I buy all this 2 hours a day exercise thing- ours are fine on 30 minutes ball chasing one day and an hour the next day- no damage caused etc etc
I usually start thinking about going to bed just after 10 but somehow find I am only swithcing the light off at about 11.30!
Our stairs arent that big surely?
I must admit I was pretty disappointed in the Derby bmx track- I’m no expert by a long way and have only been to crewe before but imo Crewe is much better and has a better vibe with less people going the wrong way on the track etc
