RIP to the poor chap

Bloody animals!!

once a cheat, always a cheat.

He deserve to be fogotten.

Lance who??

@ DrP, if you didnt know, why post your answer on here 🙄

thanks rocky mountain, it will be on road riding this winter for me.

Looked superb, great pics

@ciderinsport, I wouldnt know as I am lost like you but wouldnt ask this silly question though, lol

People would take dogs to trail centres and go riding with them are selfish and lazy people, always an accident waiting to happen whether dog injure themselves keeping up with their master or other cyclists to avoid them either injure dog or themselves.

Not good.

@chojin, the poor dog will be dead soon the way your mate is doing to his dog.

Shame some people dont have any common sense, oh well.

Jorge Lorenzo is a better rider now than he was a few years ago as Rossi’s team mate in 2008-2010, he is going to whipped his a$$ this time, it will look good for Lorenzo’s profile too.

Casey Stoner is a awesome rider and the only rider ever can ride and win on the Ducati, Rossi tried and failed.

Cant wait for next year.

Giant Anthem, you cant go wrong with that, great bike

Did they come out after all?

I think they are the best tyres I have ridden, brilliant all rounder and excellent grip, last well and they are easy to fit on the rims without any effort and cracking price for it.

Great tyres, 10/10 from me.

Still no pics and no information from Paul from Bikefest about it.

I wouldnt drill a hole on a carbon frame, it’s asking for trouble and could crack the frame while riding, go to a good LBS and ask for advice.

Does anyone know the website for the photo’s of last weekend’s Bristol Bikefest please?

no, he is no role model.

Casey Stoner, whether you like him or not, he is a genius and brilliant rider with huge talent but of course he can be a bit a moaner but that’s his personality, everybody is different.

Best thing happen to him to show us fans what an awesome rider is having Rossi to ride Ducati and failed to do anything with it, it’s only Stoner can ride the Ducati, I mean the real Italian Ducati with carbon chassic, Rossi couldnt do anything with it and force Ducati to change to Japanese style with aluminuim chassic mid way of 2011 season and it’s havent made much difference.

Stoner name will always be up there with the greats, he won some awesome races, I rate his best wins is Bareclona ’07 and Phillip Island ’09, both races with Rossi on his tail and couldnt past him after putting him race long pressure which he didnt crack.

I admire for him to retire at the top of his game and he havent nothing else to prove, good luck to him whatever he choose with his life.

You cant go wrong with the Giant Anthem bikes.

Cheers for your pics, quite like this one too in black with no decals.

Thanks all

Thanks for sharing, hope to see more C456.

I think orange is the best colour, too many black bikes out there, so common and dull

Panaracer Fire XC Pro will be a good choice, it perform well on roots and rocks, etc.

Panaracer Fire XC Pro, brilliant all rounder and it doesnt break the bank, £25 per tyre, good grip and last well.

There is alot of keyboard warriors here finding fault of everything! 😆

Thanks all.

I agree with the policeman and single file riding is safer than riding side by side, just my 2 cents.

Skoda are great cars, I happen to own one myself and love it.

That’s great news, it always good to hear a positive outcome, nice one.

Swanage is worth trying, a nice village for a few days.

Yes you will be fine, have a good ride.

Black people can be racists aswell, you know 😉

Brilliant pics, all cracking dogs 😀

Yes they can do the job but not on big drops, etc and possible more uncomfy to ride if riding on on rocks all day, great for singletracks though.

I own 2011 Giant Anthem X4, upgraded to Shimano SLX groupset and it’s 22″ frame (XL), it weigh a good 28 pounds.

Another quiet one for me, cant be arsed to go out, bored of xmas and the weather already, ready for work on Tuesday!

🙄 it’s only a spider for god’s sake 🙄

Brilliant, pleased that Cav won it for cycling and himself. 😀

Get the Giant Anthem and you will enjoy it, great bikes.

6’4″ with 34″ legs

Giant Anthem XL 22″

Often wondered if Carbon 456 will fit a lanky man like me?
