Not the best photo but I’m loving mine. 6ft 3″ on a large.

Plush Hill Cycles, Church Stretton.
Small but friendly & knowledgeable.
Their main strength lies in their ability to endure untold levels of faff :wink:
Beware the stealth sales technique of Allen though…. :-)

The Cooker isn’t out (I don’t think) until at least mid next year (I could be wrong). I just got a Swift. Love it.

Apologies for crappy iphone pic.

She has the same colour hair as you ‘Don.

Put it in reverse with a brick on the accelerator pedal like in off of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Exhale Samuri !

Why do some people on bikes not have road sense and realise that ust becaus ethey are on a bike they should not observe tehs ame rules as if they were driving?

Had a few had you ? :wink:

It appears that “RAY” chap has his sisters jeans on.

Don’t do it you will die.

That 15mm spanner could be the difference between a podium place or not ! :wink:

These wheels are the wrong size.

Enjoy carrying your 15mm spanner around everywhere you go too !

Twohats – do it at speed in the middle of the night in an enduro.
I commented as it is not for me. It may suit others. Such is life. For me they are a faff.

The shifting & performance in the crap is unquestionable. The faff and time spent changing a flat was the reason I sold mine. Awkward.

His wheels are the wrong size.

I love it

I know I’ve changed. 29″ wheels just look normal to me now, whilst 26″ look like my son’s bikes !

Ian that Nicolai is lovely.
Are the 2 swifts (not ds3000’s) further up in XL flavour ? They look biig. I have a Large Swift on order. Can’t wait.
Not looking forward to its wheels exploding though. :wink:

Cheesybeanz do you want to go for clown bike ride when I get mine so we can talk about how fit Sue is from Sooty & Sweep again ??? :lol:

Lol @ Stu

Rumour has it that the Dyfi Enduro is moving to the Quantocks next year as the organisers now think it isn’t rocky enough :wink:
Each entrant must wear regulation safety spectacles (like those ones off of biology lessons at school) to protect themselves from flying 29er exploded wheel shrapnel.
Ruscle will obviously win.

Just finished an interview with Midlands today about the exploding wheels phenomenon here in Shropshire. I think they are going to issue some sort of PSA about it. I’m campaigning for a “No 29ers” sign for the Long Mynd. It’s just too dangerous.

I got my new 29er home from the LBS today, just a few hours ago. Upon removal from roofrack and setting down upon my block paved drive both wheels exploded before my very eyes. They are rubbish. I am taking it back and getting a 26″ wheeled proper mountain bike and driving to the Quantocks first thing in the morning.
The Welsh lads I ride with are always complaining about their 29r wheels exploding in the rocky gnarl of the Dyfi forest so god knows what carnage is afoot amongst the rocks, roots and very sharp grass of the Quantocks.

roboctane – don’t go thinking that if you get one you will be able to ride like Stu. Stu is a legend… :wink:

Bought cheap 29r 2 weeks ago to try it out.
Loved it.
Sold 2 x 26″ wheeled bikes.
Ordered new nicerer 29r.
Will not go back.
:D

Oh and I did it on the Monkey Trail. Not sure where the Monket Trail is. Must be a “locals only” trail :lol:

1 hr 23 is good going. My PB is 1 hr 32.
Even though Postie will say it won’t. But he’s moved away now so his opinion doesn’t count ! :wink:

Apologies for slight thread hijack but flange could you e mail me regards the Unit 20″ 29r frame please ?
My e mail is rollason73@hotmail.com
Thanks pal.

She did look really bored yes. I said hello to her every time I rounded the corner. She was doing a crossword so I shouted “4 down, 5 letters, BORED” which raised a smile. Did they really need someone on that part ? !

Apologies to all for my 29er tourettes. I just couldn’t help shouting “big wheels” at everyone :lol:

And as for the “talentless” that’s a bit harsh. Although Rich H did need special 1-1 coaching at the skills session recently :lol:

Watch out for Team Crane/Aldi biggest set of talentless mtbers i have come across apart from Tollah and his merry men

Be afraid Munro, be very afraid……

This thread is weird.

15mm chrome vanadium spanner is your friend everywhere you go :lol:

I hear to look like him you have to have a crack in your new helmet sustained whilst getting large at this years Dyfi warm up. So I’ve heard anyway…..

Team of 4 “Team Aldi Crane Sports Factory Racing”.
If dry I am on the Anthem. If wet Charge Duster with Alfine8 :-)
Will be ‘sleeping’ in the back of the car like last year only this year I will have luxury gazebo area in which to faff.
Training : riding as usual.

Dude the fence is shocking. Come on, £ 12 each for a couple of new panels and its sorted. This is STW. We pay attention to detail. Decking needs staining.

Looks like a strong tree ?! :wink:

@ Stu – Yeah cheers, I will drop you an e mail when I am free. Would appreciate being “shown round” (rubs thighs) :wink:

@ thelazysunbather – I live in Highley, 8 miles other side of Bridgnorth. Proper backwater banjoville. There are some ok trails alongside the Severn & up into the country park on the otherside of the river. Nothing special though.

Did you build a specific area in the lawn made to measure for the trampoline ?

Stu, I’m from Bridgnorth and not yet ventured over to Kinver (i’m scared of the stories of witches).
Wouldn’t mind meeting up some time ?
Si
