househusband, really? I always answer emails, and have been in business all this time. I stopped frequenting this forum as much though, had better things to do 🙂

Chumba availability has been patchy (sorted now) but i have always been around 🙂

Sorry if i missed you for whatever reason.

Chumba HX2 frames will be back in stock with us very soon.

£350 for the frame only.

Presuming your not tooooo heavy then these would be god, or he Arch rim 🙂

I have actually put my hard earned money in to a Solaris as i fancied a Steel 29er. Cy really does put some thought in to these frames.

Can’t wait to build it up now.

That sir is a nice looking frame! Well done all 🙂

There you go 😉

Looks like the 650b thing is gathering pace with Brodie.

The last three 26er Ti Holeshots in existence are on the way here to the UK, then that’s it, next stop 650b Ti HT.

I have a few sets of 36 TALAS R’s 110-160mm non Kashima with tapered steerer for £400.

They make a fair amount on those wheels!

You thunk so? try about £30 once all costs are taken account of. Sorry about that though.

ska, I could have sent your frame in a sub standard box, but thought it best to wait until we the correct boxes in stock. As for your wheels, that was an honest mistake, we sent the wrong wheels, turned them around and as quick as possible, and without any cost to yourself.

ryderredman – who are you? i will check your order out, that is if you have not been contacted already this week? (as far as I’m aware most people with orders have been)

And for the record, i no longer deal with Chumba, haven’t done for a while due to the issues with supply. I have no stock left, and very few spares, again due to supply.

Sounds like you have a lot of misguided pre conceptions having not been to any of these ‘dust’ bowls yourself.

Try Calpe in Spain, nice resort and some good hotels with plenty to see and do in the area.

Si, do you have the conversion kit for a 142 rear axle in stock as well?

no sorry, would have to order that in.

Website back online now! Sorry for all the hassles last week or so.

Click here [/url]for some great deals 😉

Where to start! Just got back from 5 days hols, and just before i left we had a serious problem with the site and i didn’t have time to fix it, so it had to be suspended until i got back.

It should be back today/tomorrow. In the mean time you can call me on 01246 555660.

Si

Sounds like a lame excuse, but I did drop an email back to you, just checked though and it seems it didn’t leave my outbox.

Just called Hope, they have received the lower bearings for the headsets this morning, and will ship today/tomorrow. As soon as they land I’ll fit and ship.

Sorry for the delay! I’ll also change the address on the website 🙂

When they leave the Euro the new drachma will be worthless, the Greek banks and state will be bankrupt so will start printing money to pay wages etc, inflation will rise, interest rates will double at least, how is that good for Greece?

How will greeks be able to afford to buy anything, let alone germanic cars, houses etc? What will happen to current mortages etc as the drachma will be worth half of what the euro is?

Chumab HX1 frames are now £299 🙂

Depends what brands you are looking at.

I suspect you are only looking at the brands with healthy marketing budgets and hype, hence the reason you know about them and hence why they are expensive, see the problem?

A few options around from the likes of On One and myself 🙂

All i need to be able to do is edit a current PDf document i have on my ipad, then save/email it.

pdf reader pro, enables me to fill in forms etc? I’ll take a look…

Chaos have quite the client list, but their own site is a bit rubbish.

Brodie do some nice CX bikes, worth finding them if your going to be in Canada.

3 days from ordering to receiving my reverb last week

What did you pay in total if you dont mind me asking?

What’s the best version of the reverb to buy, someone mentioned running the hydraulic switch under the handlebars or something?

Wondering the same, is it best to run the right lever on the left under the bars?

No, straight 1 1/8.

Not sure yet, might keep them for another bike, if i do are you interested?

We have a small Chumba hx1.£299 and very nicely built 🙂

Chumba hx1[/url]

thanks, just downloaded Smultron, see how it goes 🙂

without poopoing your experience mildred i had an original Sov and it was probably the best made and finished HT i have ever seen. It was the blue colour, and the paint was very thick and lush.

The Chumba HX1[/url] has an EBB for use as a singlepseed. £299 at the moment too 🙂

Very limited numbers and colours though.

YMH

tiger, thanks for the order. The Hope Hopes don’t come with QR’s im afraid, only 15mm and 9mm hub adaptors.

Hope Hoops[/url] 🙂

Matt, I’m sorry if it looked like i was lumping in STW with that statement, STW have been VERY supportive of Progressive Bikes which i appreciate and have never once insisted on me advertising with you, even though i have done so in the past 🙂

Chumba HX1[/url] Great value at £299, and very nicley finished.

And as im feeling generous use the discount code ‘special10’ to recieve an extra 10%

Ajr, my experiences are similar.

not sure any of this means that Future are biased when reviewing, just that they choose which bikes to review based on certain criteria, i think its fair to say it works both ways.

Guess why you never see my stuff in the mags? Cos i don’t have any money 🙂
