@ carbonfiend – bit of a longshot but do you know mick stacey?

DJs that couldn’t mix

it wasn’t about the mixing in the early days, most came from the rare groove and funk scene, I used to go to the Holloway’s Special Branch nights, where Tong and Giles started off, then it all kicked off big time, you know the rest.

most of this was set in berkshire, boys own parties :wink:

Bump for the evening crew

My 6 year old son, ok it’s not XX1 but it’s SRAM, he wants Shimano XT triggers like Daddy. :wink

Edit: on a serious note I’d be interested too, I love the simplicity of it.

Yep, I’ve been playing with korg gadget and electribe. Gadget is amazing, great sequencer and drum programming is very easy.

My new custom Ti frame has three sets of bosses

Can I suggest a Mr King Ti cages, stupid light and Ti on Ti looks so damn good.

I wouldn’t hold too much hope in graphics /frame rate improving greatly in future games.

The current generation seem to be happy with minecraft anyway

Tempted for NSF rivals, awesome on ps3, but a bit glitchy, is drive club out yet?

:oops:

Tough, if it was anything like the Eastbourne end of SDW couldn’t get any shelter from the wind, never seemed to be behind me, good work out.

Totally agree with mboy, and Steve Worland. I’ve now replaced my Hilo dropper with a carbon post and gone shorter on the stem and wider strut bars, feels perfect now.

@notmyrealname – I’m in Surrey and East Sussex most weekends, I have the large 29er. I’ll be night riding over Leith at some point in the next few weeks, you’re welcome to come a take a look.

I would say yes, it’s both trail and XC, Might be worth dropping Dom at Kinesis a tweet regarding rigid fork and singlespeed. Mine is set up with a Fox 32 120 CTD, it’s designed for 100-130. I’m also running 2 x 10 XT with praxis works adapter and rear a direct mount XTR Shadow, gear change is super snappy. The bike is super stiff at the rear and really shifts when you put your foot down, I’m 6ft 4 and have the 29 large, it’s really compact with great standover height. I plan to be riding races and all day epics on the Sync this season. The detail on the frame is pretty special too from the chunky brake mounts, cloverleaf top tube and head tube.

Can you tell I love this bike?

Yep, you mean North Downs, pretty much same conditions as South though, chalk, mud and flint, you’re up and down hills a lot, I’d get some mud tyres on, I’m running mud x rear and spesh storm control front still.

I’m over 40 and have a pimped up purple Zoo York skateboard, a long board, bauer turbos with krytonics and tempted to buy an off road scooter.

Somnambulist

@ theotherjonv – thank you, and thanks for the advice, I’ve heard similar stories.

Rewski, that was meant at you.

I’d rather not say, not cheap though. Very popular breed at the moment, especially the red ones… apparently.

My boys 9 week old Cockerpoo, I have a 6 and a 10 year old, all good so far, only had him two weeks mind. Not really a trail dog, nice cuddle though :D

I’ve got white bros rock solids on my 26 HT, great with a big tyre and lowish psi.

MRPs will be the new Pikes soon, in the meantime I’ll be sticking with Fox.

Another Ti Sync owner here, I absolutely love it, stunning bike to ride and look at.

@mattjg –

it’s a lot more flighty than I expected

I know what you mean, the geo does sit you forward (as the late great Steve Worland mentioned in his ST review, a great review btw, issue 84 if you’ve not read it) I’ve changed to wider strut bars and shorter stem and it’s transformed the ride no end, it’s still very lively but I feel more confident, I’ve also lost the dropper and gone for a carbon post, the ride is very smooth for a HT, my other ride is a 140 AM, but the Sync is my go to bike though.

Kinesis Maxlight Sync?

If you want coffee and quiet space to work royal festival hall used to be good

Iris and June just opened in Victoria, been informed from a good source that it’s very good.

rabot 1745 or Monmouth in Borough Mkt
wild and wood on new oxford st is great http://wildandwoodcoffee.co.uk/

Can’t you at least spell her name correctly, respect.

Not mine but these 1962 Saab camper vans were kind a cool

Sod the beach and go MTBing in the troudos mountains.

Halfords… Most of started on an Apollo, right?

New trail on leith hill, near tower.

Yes, but it’s a soul destroyingly dull place apart from that!

Agreed, especially on a sunny day, like sitting in warehouse lock up, great beer though. The Old Red Cow and The Rake are my regulars.

A few more to get you started… Pressure Drop Bosko, Beavertown Gamma Ray – my current favs.

Pelt Trader near Cannon St, had Lagunitas IPA on tap the last time I was there. Euston Tap?

My wife was paid her redundancy twice, over 30k! Took the company over a year to notice, as above shite happens, money is their property they got it back :(

Very nice, nearly bought one in black literally days before the Dom posted the Sync proto pics, it was no contest after that. I hope she enjoys every minute of it. :D

@ NYC101009 – nice, that chugs along nicely – downloaded.

:D General Ludd – Top tune!

Why not UK Ti? Kinesis build and ride quality is excellent. Maybe deal with Mosquito in UK rather than direct with US.

This kind of post is dangerous for me having been a beatdigger and collector, I’m going with an obvious classic then bailing out before I miss my deadlines :wink:

@ jackthedog – cheers buddy, appreciate your wise words, that’s kind of where I’m at the moment, I don’t have enough time to ride my bike at the moment, let alone fix a leaky radiator. I might look into renting a 68 Nova or something similar in the summer. Cheers

@ wwaswas – that sounds like a perfect set up if you have the money
