Bukem, Bryan Gee or Dave Angel (not the eco warrior) I'd say.

All hail the new world leader, surely nothing can compete with the triple decker forehead thing he's got going on…

On the other end of the scale

My Banshee came with an RP23 which was ok, repleced with a DHX5 coil which was better, but now using a Zocchi Roco TST R which feels in a different league to both the Fox shocks, super plush and the back end feels more lively and bites into the terrain like an angry turtle. The TST platform is very effective and easy to use on the fly.

And it only cost me £80 2nd hand, well worth a look IMO.

On mine I've got –

astro file manager
barcode scanner
beebplayer
cardiotrainer (like my tracks)
ebuddy
fotmob
gmote
goggles

It's a cave, sorry a club in Newport, lot's of musical history there, but the owner sadly passed away and now it's closing…

Here you go – http://www.pscycles.co.uk/cwmcarn-hire-bikes-3879.html

LoCo – No that's not me, could well be Jason you're thinking of, I've got a red Fabia and a MK1 Polo…

I'll need some work done on a Roco TST R shock at some point so I'll give you a shout when the time comes…

Tell him Iestyn sent you as well and you might get a double discount :D or he may just chase you out the shop….

Yes.

On a Banshee Pyre built up burly.

Diverse mainly because of the price and I didn't want Nukeproof.

Is the bottom one a SSC design? :D

Nice Spitfires! How are you guys finding the Joplin 4?

I've got the Spitfires older brother but it's the best bike i've owned.

I really like that, what are the forks?

My bling thing…

351 has no floodgate.

What is your major malfunction Private Pyle?

I did the coverage test so they can have the thing back if there's no signal…

Will it last for 2 years? Let me look into my crystal ball….yep it will if I don't break it. I've had this poxy W800i thing for 5 or 6 years but it really has passed it's best before date now. :D

According to the sales rep they will be in stock before 12 tomorrow for delivery Thursday, as many have suggested I just called up and mentioned cashback sites and they pretty much instantly offered a £35 discount. It's certainly worth trying Voda retentions first though I'd have thought.

Thanks guys I've just ordered direct from T Mobile after originally looking at BMP.net….

£94 for the phone and £15 a month over 24 months for 300 minutes, 300 texts, 3gb internet + unlimited landline. bargaintastic IMO :D

Agreed Zombieland is awesome, without giving too much away it has possibly the best cameo appearance in a film ever. :lol:

And there was me thinking STW was the home of the tech savvy supernerd… :mrgreen:

I bet my diesel sounds better than your old shed….. :lol:

You might need a narrower socket, mine tapers towards the end is yours flat/straight?

No probs.

It's just an 8mm socket IIRC, the bearing can be knocked out from the other side.

Saddle and trellis fixed unfortunately no pics of the latter. :oops:

Earlier today in Treforest :lol:

That "wink" means you are now part of the inner circle.

Hans I paid just over £700 for the bike less the bits mentioned above.

I think the Totems really complete it. :D

The "sofa saddle" will be the first thing to go, 2nd hand Thomson post located and black and orange Selle Yutaak ready to go on.

I bought the bike of a guy called Stevie in NI off these forums less the forks, brakes, gears and a few other bits, I had the Totems, King and Saints after selling my Bullit frame.

Cheers guys

Yep it is ugly as hell…that's why i like it!

Yeah it's my mums house hence the overuse of violent pink

How would I have time to play with my bikes if I was putting trellis up all the time?

He seems like a thoroughly decent bloke and no matter what trainig he's had you can't fault his determination, it's hell of an achievement for anyone.

Arseblog and STW! :D

If you insist :D

I'm going to use Loctite 651 as well but I wouldn't have trusted it by itself.

Maybe not all frames but I've had a Cove and Santa Cruz when the inside of the headtube was painted the same as the outside of the frame.

I don't think it's going to go anywhere as there was no wobble just not enough inteference on the fit.

Alot of the Mavic rims are around that number, the only two things you need to be concerned about are the spokes being too long and piercing the rim tape/tube or too short and not catching enough threads.

Peel back the rim tape and you will get an idea if the spokes are currently on the long/short side or just right.

Nowt wrong with a Fabia…

My brother is 6'4" and rides the old long Alpine, it fits fine…

Cheers

Damn if you snooze you lose, if anyone else has got one going spare I'd really appreciate it…

That will be 216x64mm or 8.5×2.5"

Ah that's good to know it's free upto 2gb, will have to have a look.
