    no offence mean't but I do hope it is not true

    Yes it is worth the "risk"* it is all about being alive and getting the pulse rate going and the silly grins we wear on a great day out

    * I do crash enough on the Q's and it does hurt at times but it is far better than wasting my life on my arse

    I was in the same situation not so long ago ( I own a Simple as well which is brilliant)

    But the 456 was £350 cheaper and money talks

    So I bought the 456 no regrets it goes down hill faster than I can and is superb on singletrack and makes me smile

    yes the Soul would be a slightly more comfortable and springy but the differance is not that much if my simple is anything to go by

    Rob Lee is a cracking bloke I have ridden with him a few times when I lived in Swindon and he never tried to prove anything ( unlike otheres who race but never put a number on there backs) and just rode with everyone else.

    Rob tries and for that he cannot be faulted

    Good try

    The spacer is there and I have just replaced the cassette body bearings and it is still the same and when coasting you can feel the wheel trying to drive the pedals

    Is it dragging because of the 4 pawls and I am not used to it??

    Or am I being daft but I have never had this before

    In short I have a friend in her mid 30's, slim, fairly attractive (no boils/warts etc) who is unable to find a nice decent bloke.

    Sounds almost perfect 😯

    Does her Dad own a brewery ❓

    To be fair on a personal note I did internet dating 5 years ago hit gold very quickly and I have been married for 3 years to a fantastic lass, yep it worked for me 😀
