I had a trance and I never realy got on with it I did try but after 3 years I gave up because I prefered to ride my s/s cotic

With the trance I felt I could never put power down when the going got rough and I could never corner very well I guess I had no trust in the back end despite trying differant shock pressures etc and I quite honestly felt like I lost my "mojo"

So I ordered a 456 and sold the Trance I am one happy puppy now Knottie is trying to find where I put the rocket 😈 now I fee like i ride realy well and I like riding gears again 😆

the mojo has returned 🙂

you are not saying what I think you are ????????

problem is on the 10 you travel the wrong way round 😕

I am up on the Q's tonight Mrs Saladdodger wants to go Deer spotting at dusk but on foot, but what the hell I will still be trespassing on "Sharki's ills"
But tomorrow HELL YES 456 a go go but I think I will do south of the gate for a change

so on a uni cycle what post do I need 😆

Ok shuts up and goes to bed "sorry"

Yea a piece of piss

Email me and I will scan you a copy of a MBR how to sevice your sc32's

Funny old thing when I had a bike fit by Argos in Brizzol for a off the shelf frameset the owner of Argos said to me I had a long thigh length blah blah and on a custom frameset he would relax the seat angle, but no one needs a custom frameset "slide the seat back on the rails"

It depends on what fits you if you have a long thigh length then you need a layback seat post if not then you need a inline post

It is what YOU need not someone else

I have a layback post on my 456 but the saddle is pushed forward so realy I could of used a inline post but the post I have works ( and more to the point is shiney) so it stays

Guess a few ex rover employee's would like there home addresses , I know I would

yep chunts

I know what you mean I got shot of my Trance for a 456 and oh baby the fuggin thing fly's

yes they were a bit dissapointing to be close to(and realy small on the flight deck) as I remember at the Abingdon air show back in the early 80's and the second hand (ex B.A.) Tristar was thought to be new at the same show 28+ years ago

But the way it turned yer guts on full power now there is another thing

but to be fair compaired to the Timmy / VC10 (are they still fit to fly) and the C17, at brize it would seem small

my single speed is heavier than my full sus, and hard tail -fact!

WHAT I know the EBB INbred frame is heavy at 5.5lbs ( 1.25 more than the cotic)on the wifes kitchen scales but what did you build it up with??

Or are your other bikes silly light

get yourself a job in the jobcentre it seems to have a increase in customers of late 🙁

best of luck to you

I can see 7 vertical red crosses sorry

DIY piece of piss honest

RD if you were to of witnessed my riding / crashing skills of late you would of quite rightly accused me of being a beginner 😕

But all is good now because I have gone back to a hardtail 😆

Just got a 456 and that makes me WANT to ride

Jason is a pleasure to be with because he constantly wears a silly grin and he enjoys himself 😀

Paul I even seem to be riding faster on your pics

The one thing I do detest is people writing in text speak, even on this forum

IE- c u l8r m8

🙄

The blatent advert content is disgusting 😉

I will be having a good read later

I hate mobile phones with a passion, yes I have one but only because I have to ( yep lemming)

People say how did they manage without a mobile, easy arrangements were made and kept, none of these stupid text messages at the last minute letting folk down.

They are a distraction if they go off when driving but to text and drive is crazy, and someone gets killed.

Its as bad as drink / drugs driving

the only deterrant has to be a driving ban for say 1month if caught (speed cameras cannot see fork on the phone btw_)

the new range of nightstorage heaters are very good to be fair butwhat I meant is it is a bit arse about face to heat water to heat a house you will have efficientcy losses, just because it is "pretty much what we all do" is true but is it right

My favorite form of heating in my place is my wood burner which is apparantly 78% efficient

But ground source heat pumps are superb and I am looking into them myself after instalation it is almost heat for free

Have a look at the GU10 flouresant lamps they are very good and use 20% of the power of a normal GU10 and some are now dimable (but expensive)

imho it is a bit early for leds at the mo another 2 years and they will be the thing to fit alas the construction industry is lagging behind the cycle industry 😕

The only sure thing is that electricity will be available for a long time to come ie nucleur / wind / solar/ wave etc

Oil and gas well there is a question

But why use a wet electric system, you are heating water to heat the house????? it does not sound very efficient

Have a look at the new ranges of nightstorage heaters from the likes of Dimplex they are realy good nowadays

http://www.dimplex.co.uk/products/domestic_heating/installed_heating/duoheat_radiator/duoheat_radiator/index.htm

The other thing is if you just replace the original heaters you will save loads of hassle with making good

blooody hell

those pics remind me of fred salmon ???? brand bars from the 80's

I now live in devon but I will also sing the praises of red planet in Swindon Ivan and freddie are cracking folk and they do a superb coffee in the shop

if it is anything like my wifes focus hard tail it will superb bang for yer buck

Ok not a answer you were looking for, but my thoughts on Focus as a brand

If it pays more than the jobseekers allowance you would be a fool not to take it

fantastic news

Under designed may'be, but to blame the material is pure anti Chinese/Taiwanese bullshit

That is a fair comment

Some say my 456 is made of "pig iron" as it may well be but it is well designed and may folk are happy with theres

I think Argos in bristol do Ti repairs

Home

Just get the drop out repaired I do not think it is worth the hassle of sending it back

I have just sold my trance and gone back to a hard tail ( crashed and fell off too much) with all the kit off the Trance so there is no componant issue

It handles a lot better, it climbs alot better, it goes down hill faster and the technical downhills it feels alot safer.

So all the kit is the same bar the seatpost and front mech, so the frameset was the issue.

And the frameset I chose and I am chufffed to hell with is a 456 built up just under 26 lbs and it is fanfriggintastic and £125.01 😆

anyway my BMI is ok

Shame I need to be 12" taller
