its a classic bleat from the left wing who do not understand the private sector ethos

public service ethos

What Ethos? What a load of rubbish, like the public sector breeds a certain type of philosphy to work and provision!

Evidence?

its a classic bleat from the right wing who do not understand the public service ethos

LOL, right wing am I? My wife works for a local Auth at reasonably strategic level, the stories I hear about staff protectionism/ inefficiency is quite frankly outrageous. It may, may not be the same in the NHS.

It’s the fear of public workers that is stifling change and progress

Agree, and not just in the NHS. To many people in public sector work worry about their own interests and stifle progress imo.

Shame the owner of Chumba is such a tool though.

Me?

Nice bike by the way. Having never tried 29er I may give one of these a go this winter.

The reviews over on MTBR seem to say the Yelli is very nimble for a 29er, more so than any other 29er frame due to the short stays.

Thanks to those who have ordered, frames should be here in around 10 days.

Last chance today if anyone else fancies a N9 or Yelli?

Seems si was talking pants when he told me they weren’t making any more yelli’s then.

that was what i was told, but it seems the yelli was popular over in the US.

I only sold a couple of Yelli frames, and no N9 to date, so no chance of any UK feedback on the N9 i’m afraid 🙁

Anyone else before I confirm with Canfield on Monday?

Things just ain’t the same for gangstas. Times is changing, young **** is aging , Becoming old gees in the game and changing,

Images stole from MTBR

Not sure on current prices, around £550 though i would think, they are nice though 🙂

All out of Canfield stock, though I think Canfield have just had a small delivery of Yelli and N9 frames. If anyone fancies one just let me know as I will only be buying to order.

Missed this! Drop me an email at simon @ progressive – bikes. co .uk

Personally, I would chase FedEx for compensation.

will be doing, but they are not very good at dealing with things like this.

It is a Chumba HX1 26er 17″ frame, so no good for tall people 🙂

What tools to get it back to round though?

drop me an email at simon @ progressive – bikes .co. uk without all the spaces 🙂

it could have bean much worse.

This is what you want

and one of these to attach bikes to it and a good padlock

Trust me i know, but d locks and other inferior ground anchors are not worth shit. if you are ging to do it, and set it in concrete, do it properly first time round.

Dont scrimp on chains and padlocks either.

They know its you and are igmoring you 🙂

torc ground anchors are very good, not cheap though.

lol, OK i’ll shut my trap.

without readin the whole thread, how much are these brakes, and what do you get?

I may be getting a fair few sets of these and want to make sure I can sell them 🙂

Me? I like eyelets.

Why?

bah, full sussers are so last year 😉

Brodie Ti Holeshot. it is THE fastest bike i have owned and sell.

we are going to be doing a Sram offer with a frame. Full X9 sram 2×10 with frame for £1300. Frame only is £1099. You will never need another bike 🙂

Ta CF, will treat myself to some of those 🙂

Persimmon/Black Iridium transitions

Might get some of those for my jawbones, are they really any good for low winter light conditions?

igorl, didnt see your email sorry. I will have a look at postage costs to Slovenia for you.

Every bloody time he posts a picture of it I start daydreaming, and then start rotting up the total value of all my posessions I could probably live without to be able to afford one… And I already ride a Ti hardtail! Bloody gorgeous ain’t it and I want one!

I wouldn’t worry about it, I only have around half a dozen frames at the moment, so convince yourself they will all be gone soon 🙂

Hope say white rims will be in stock end of month. I can check tomorrow if anyone wants a set?

We are doing them for £275 posted.

I feel your pain, its a hard world out there at the moment.

Sometimes you just have to say, enough is enough.

Updated version of mine, new saddle, bars and stem and some dust 🙂

We have offered fork and frame deals before, which we continue to do from time to time, the full build is really to attract a different customer.

We hope to a full bike built very soon of both the 29er and 26er to give people an idea of what they will look like.

I am working on a 15Qr wheelset and Fox fork too and 29er spec to be confirmed.

Managed to spec a 15mm QR fork for the same price 🙂

29er spec online tomorrow.

Chumba HX2? New one is quite light and will work well with 100mm.

OK, I have managed to spec a full build and (i think) be competitve with the price.

I am working on a 15Qr wheelset and Fox fork too and 29er spec to be confirmed.

Also looking at a singlespeed 1k bike for both 26er and 29er.

I know it wont please some, but it looks an OK spec to me for the money 🙂

HX1 complete bike[/url]

XTR pedals

tried em yet? new platform style, what they like?

don’t worry, STW is not the only place I have asked the question 🙂

I think i can compete on spec and price with the big boys and I have managed to keep cash usage to a minimum to give it a go with the full bikes.

Thanks all for your contributions, much appreciated.
