roof needs finishing

not really in this case though, it appears his whole act is based on the thinking that being offensive is funny.

Was that one of Mr Boyles lines ?

Was that a joke? Not laughing at the kids, with the kids!

So, does anyone know exactly what he said then?in what context? cos I read the link and there's nowt there.

On the other hand, I thought the episode of Ricky Gervais' Extras with the Downs Syndrome girl (the one with Kate Winslet) was great.

I'm pretty sure that woman had cerebral palsy.

ps. is it wrong that my fiancée's sister who is down's was laughing at someone walking down the street funny (dodgy leg condition, not drunk) 😆

sounds like a complete cock to me! I'm sure you'd get a better laugh spending an hour with some down's kids!

I guess my 1G ipod touch isn't going to be changing much from now on then! 🙁

They should make all big bikes 29'ers, that looks like the wheels are too small.

I just read this thread, same whining… yawn… yawn

I guess its not worth it, what year, model, etc?

i've just realised its the on-one of the smartphone world 🙂

its between these two for now, kind of wish I had kept the enduro, but then I wouldn't have the alpine. I WANT THEM BOTH!!!!

rinse in your mouth!!!!! Euch!!!!! But yeah, keep a couple of spares in the car, at work, in my pack, I always wear my sunglasses when riding to stop mud going in my eyes too. I wear mine every day from when i get up till i go to bed and never have any issues with them.

It's a bit mince for browsing the web

have you tried opera mobile, i almost find it better than my ipod touch for web browsing, particularly this site, just seems to fit better on the screen.

In the example of the minimum wage guy and the rich guy, maybe the rich guy would never have gotten that rich if he was taxed so much when he first started working that he could barely afford his little starter home. He then turned to a life of crime and needed a lawyer who was born wealthy to keep him out of prison 😀

have you reloaded the maps?

on-one are available in the US, edit: unreal cycles, edit again: do on-one not post to the US anyway.

Thats why I got it too, I bought mine sim free and use it on pay as you go. I think in terms of cheap but good phone it works well.

the dialled website says in the geometry section the head angle is 68.5 (recommended travel 130mm) But in the description for the frame says it works best with 120-160mm travel.

If your riding is mostly downhill a big fork works well on it. I have non adjustable domains with 165mm travel (stanchions actually measure 180mm) and it climbs fine, maybe not ideal for a day of climbing but an hour or two here or there for a good downhill it works fine.

I have one, its decent, its no iphone but its a good phone, great battery, good gps for tracking and navigation, plays music, download opera mini as a web browser and you'll be sorted.

you'll be fine, probably won't even notice the extra weight.

I'd still want the 20mm forks on there. Standard quick releases are just an inferior system in my opinion. It might not be essential for regular XC but it'd still be preferable.

and the frame is about to be put up for sale if anybody is interested?

Is that allowed? an alpine is for life, not just for christmas 😀

Once you go 20mm you won't want to go back.

Well I could drop a couple of pounds with the fork too, its just a domain which is about 6.5lbs. wheels are Mavic DeeTracks so not particularly light, hone cranks, sunline bars, thomson stem, its all solid stuff. A well specced 30lb 160mm hardtail would handle all but the biggest drops.

What do you intend to do with a sub 30lb 160mm hardtail?

Surely the sort of riding you want a light bike for, you don't want a massive fork?

you can do pretty much most stuff with a 30lb hardatil, my bike is more than capable of most things and with some lighter tires could be under 30lbs. Sitting about 32lbs with 2.5 tires just now.

new picture

it seems no particular contradiction for time to have started – after all, the only alternative was for it always to have been, which is just as incomprehensible (to me at least).

I agree,it is all incomprehensible, interesting to think about though.

To my mind creation and god/s are kind of irrelevant to us being here now – we're in the time that we have so we might as well make the most of it!

I agree with this too 🙂

Does there have to be a before?

How can there not be? If something exists now there must have been something that existed to create it before. I don't believe there could ever have been nothing but then I can't explain that whatever holds our universe just exists infinitely 😕

what existed before our know universe was created? I can never get my head around it, for something to be created there must have been something before it to create it and something before that….. an on and on and on……

so the new bike… Is it it a morning glory or a stiffee?

I'm sure a new bike will sort it.

Anyway, make the best of it, I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell me I'm a c*nt.

And on the [insert number of days between now and that fictitious day in history] day, god turned his followers into internet trolls 🙂

this guy is better

😆

Going by the pictures my dad sent of the snow in penicuik, i'm gonna say you should ride somewhere else or bring your skis.

Lee Anderson?

guessing the teapot and vibrator were birthday gifts for his mother 😆

You really need to carry a foot pump with you at all times so you can adjust your tyre pressures as stickmen and their associated luggage get in and out of your car.

Looks like you're right, 2007's

are those quick release leavers on the dropouts standard, hadn't seen that on minutes before, I had 2008 minutes and it was just regular screws.
