gnargnar, very funny! :lol:

I’m doing a similar thing consolidating 2 bikes into 1, here’s some colours for you to think about….

Andy, what colour and spec/pimpness are you going for?

cheers snotrag, as i said in the other thread ended up going with the 17/22, not much difference really and I don’t need the top tube to be super low just quite low, 1.5 inches ain’t that much so not too concerned. I though the limit on 180 rotors was due to loading on the frame more than anything, I have a 203 front and back so i’ll be joining the club for now, dam i wished the post would hurry up!!!

The frame is in the post as we speak, I went 17/22 and it should arrive this week, my enduro has been stripped and the parts cleaned and my bathroom currently has lots of bike components as ornaments. Can’t wait to get it. email is roy dot susan dot bc at googlemail dot com.

I have the electronic version on my computer at home :wink:

I just stripped my Enduro frame in preparation for my alpine arriving figured it would be a good opportunity to weigh everything on the digital kitchen scales so for anyone thats interested, this is what all these bits weigh. Its all pretty good kit and there’s not really anywhere I want to go much lighter. (formating doesn’t work too well everything is in nice neat columns in the edit window, bah!)

whats ET short for?

cause he’s just got little legs!

ourmaninthenorth, are you serious?

some of that looks like more fun than most of the trails in the pentlands.

had that problem too, both the falling off crank arm and the stuck BB, bike shop and new shimano hone crankset was the answer.

paul, its world’s largest now, do you not look at the ads?

Seriously though, looking at CRC last night and just about everything i was interested in was out of stock.

they do my tits in too.

good to hear you got your stiffee back :lol:

haha! yeah its the bar caps that are overkill!!!! :lol:

its ok Jamie, you’ve got some red bits on yours so not a total fail on your part.

glad to see you guys are coming around.

proof that purple and yellow/gold work

would this be taking it too far

or how about this too

Mike is this what you had in mind? Could work!

Stealth is out!

white could be an option, its getting a bit common though.

i’m really not feeling the love for the gold, how about these?

walleater? are they not ravens or is that just the name for a big fat crow?

Here’s one in the rockies, was sitting on one of the cars before taking an interest in ours.

I forgot to say…. It’ll go with my car too :lol:

you guys are all boring, i’m bored with the stealth thing.

bomberman, is that waterproof and does it come in just purple and gold?

Just realised no gold spokes on these babies…

New post and collar

might go with the hope collar which is more gold.

oh and this, the goldy coloured one.

never even smoked anything…. do you not like it?

thats pretty lame! read the service manual if you want to do it yourself.

awesome bikes guys, i’m still undecided for now, don’t think I can go wrong either way though to be honest.

better watch that’s not there when the bin man comes round, I’m starting to think the 17/22 is the one for me.

holy sh!t, I can see its uses but that’s quite scary.

cheers all, i’m still undecided so fired Mike an email to get the main mans opinion. Been looking on flickr at some builds, I don’t know what it is but the smaller ones just look better and its only an extra 1.5 inches of seat tube showing. I’m sure some of these bikes are you guys.

This looks like the 17

This looks like the 15.5

not sure on this one

Probably a 15.5

There’s certainly not a lot in it which is whats making the decision so difficult.

my SO just started this up, hers is more of a girly thing to do with her jewelry but looks like its a good way of getting a message out if you have lots of followers.

Is there really much difference between a 15.5/22 and 17/22, the angles and TT are the same, surely just a case of standover height. Is the ST size centre BB to top of ST?

I’m 5’10”, it will be used as my all round bike so a bit of everything, I will be going for the 22 TT, just wondering how much difference if any it makes between 15.5 and 17, I could run a longer seatpost on the 15.5 and get the same position effectively, I think.

say cause i just want to be like you ya fat @$%#$%## $%##^#% $%#%#%#

or

I’m training for the pie munching Olympics in march…. oh wait thats you ya fat @$%#$%## $%##^#% $%#%#%#, sorry my mistake.

or

your wife/girlfriend isn’t leaving me with any energy to cycle to work

snowslave, the online shop thing isn’t that big in canada, many shops will have a website but its more for information than for selling, most people if ordering online will use the US shops or even chainreaction.

pretty impressive, so is it going to melt my head, or even worse…my helmet 8O

I love the blue monster (snigger snigger), only 1 can every day or so but its so good. I would drink more but I know it can’t be that good for me.

thats pretty funky, any pics of it lighting up a trail at night?
