I have a taste for a nice malbec at the moment, mmmm.

Which is clearly not true

How so? Please explain to me in simple terms how we pay back 159.8 billion without selling a few things and cutting our costs down?

I think the debate has been how quickly we might want to pay that off.

You didn’t say it, but how would they have gone about sorting the deficit out, whilst keeping the masses happy?

TJ, how on earth would you have had faith that the previous gov would have reduced the national debt? Maybe we could have kept spending until you got your reasonable retirement and pension and let the next generation pay for the mess we left behind?

No i’m not naive, but i can not believe that career politicians would commit political suicide by DESTROYING the UK economy and risking not being re-elected, doesn’t make sense does it?

Anyway, wasting my time, so whatever.

Its looking like March for delivery, though i have not has an update for a few days.

Website updated with a few images and geo details for the Ti Holeshot 🙂

Have i mentioned the Chumba VF2 yet? 😉

Why are your posts asking about rims and stuff any different to tlr threads?

They’re so good I imagine their owners are still busy riding them with abandon on the road…

Si If you are around buddy are the sale frames available with the alternative link to slacken the head angle and drop the BB?

Sorry for the delay 🙂 The link never made it to production, as there was not enough demand for it. If you compare the geo to the Ornange 5 and a few others they are more or less the same.

The new Chumba (due end of Feb) HX1 21″? £399 with EBB. http://www.progressive-bikes.co.uk/hx1.html

image is just to give you an idea of what the frame looks like, not an actual 21″ 🙂

There’s a few experts here on teh best bike ever.

Do you ever give it a rest? 🙂

What you want is a Brodie Ti holeshot, nice and slack and long and light.

I have built a couple up using 36’s set to 140mm which seem to suit, the 32’s would also work well for a lighter all day build.

The large has a 24″ tt and 18″ st. The 17″ is more like most medium frames with 23.5″ tt.

Very few reviews around as there are so few around, not heard anyone complain yet! The first batch sold very quickly and there are only around a dozen frames available on the next batch due to pre orders.

Al, what Is the problem? Don’t like the subject matter then ignore the post? though I think it may be that you don’t like any posts with Chumba in them?

Frames should land in the UK late Feb, same price as before £1099 🙂

al, really any need? Do you know each other?

sodajim, i can do a deal VF2 with a Fox float 32 RLC Qr15 for £1450.

woohoo, just got word the next batch is nearly ready!

Also, to any current owners, Brodie are sending over the frame sticker thingies if you would like one let me know!

Simon, i thought you had ridden dippers VF2 and liked it?

Just buy from Si- they look bloody too similar to me.

lol, thanks hora!

We are also selling the Chumba VF2’s at much cheapness, £900 with boost valve RP23 🙂

I wondered about this too, having just bought an RC car 🙂

What is the Ha on those St4’s?

If you want an alternative have a look at the Chumba VF2, much like the zesty, but nicer finished 🙂 A few bargains to be had at the moment too…

This is an absolute fact.

And again you ignore the ‘what came next’, and i quite expect you to say it is all the banks fault. We are now paying for labours idiological politicies, fact.

you do realise that he has a team of people working for him that probably do know a bit about economics?

TJ, i think its you with the MASSIVE issue regards to politcal idealism and that you live in a strange world of denial becasue of your hatred towards the blue corner 😉

We have a few Chumba VF2 frames at £900, have bottle bosses too 🙂

TJ, how can you say that we had the most financial stable time under Labour, of course we did cos they spent the next 25 years worth of budgets!

O my o my o my.

it says £499, but apparently it should be £399

£499 was the old frame price, £399 for the new one. Due to land in the UK in Jan.

I have run the Minions and HR (normal folders) without issue, just a bit of stans sealant.

“the slimness of them really helped with pedal strokes at the top and bottom of the stroke.”

With a normal flat pedal there is a dead spot at the top and bottom of the stroke due the body, with the Crampons, because you are so close to the axle you do not have to rotate the body with your foot, if you know what i mean?

As for grip, many say they are very good, whilst other don’t like them, just like anything i suppose.

I am not sying they are better than anything else, just that they offer a very unique design, though i do understand they are expensive 🙂

Canfield are shipping to me in the next week so not long now!

The Crampons DO have a slight convex shape.

The newer versions have longer pins and a slight change to the shape. Even the older pins I found that the pedals had more grip than anything else I had used before, and the slimness of them really helped with pedal strokes at the top and bottom of the stroke.

The Canfield boys are DH riders and have designed these pedals from the ground up, if they weren’t grippy they would not use them and would totally change the design.

What i do find odd is how people baulk at the price of good pedals, yet will happily spend similar money on bars, seat posts etc for no more noticable performance increase.
