I feel I can justify bike stuff, as I don’t buy complete bikes, just constantly circulate componentry… Plus, you can tell your SO, nah, those forks broke, so I got these new ones as a warranty replacement 😉
Sorry to hijack, but oxnop, how do you get on with the coil shock on your blur? I have just the monarch on mine and find it isn’t that plush over small stuff but still blows through the travel on g-outs etc. I wondered about a RC4, Double Barrel etc or just a RP23. Your blur is the only one i’ve seen with a coil.
£2328 since 2005 over 36 orders… Yikes. Particularly worrying since that’s nothing big (frames, forks, wheels, brakes etc) plus, I work in a bike shop 🙁
I have a Mountain Hardware down jacket, and i am never out of it… Best thing I have ever worn! I have a North Face one also, but don’t like it as much. My other half has about six of the North Face Nuptse vests, and she loves them.
My fianceé is back in Kansas as her visa for studying here has expired, but I still have to wait for my visa so I can move over there… Because we have no definite time frame it is a horrible experience! I visit the embassy on monday, for my final interview, so I will know better then…
I can’t be even slightly bothered in reading any of the other posts, however I watched the interview and think they both seem like nice “normal” people… As down to earth as they possibly could be! Plus, she’s a bit of a pump! 😉
What a total turd! God only knows what pressure you would need to run your forks at for something that heavy! Plus, if you drop the travel down mid ride, how will you lift “the beast” to get the travel back up! What if you fall off and the thing lands on you! That’s why mx folks wear mega reinforced boots…
In the defence of whoever owns that scorpio, at least he has a sense of humor! I notice he is a member of “The Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster”… Class!

Brilliant!
most tapered headsets have reducer crown races available to make a standard fork fit. Certainly Cane Creek, Hope and King. The headset cups and bearings do not differ…
XTR is funny, cos you can’t see it and not want to touch it… I have the new “trail” brakes and they are truly epic! I think i will stick with my old xtr drivetrain though cos the cranks do look better, and it has never missed a beat.
If you treat it like a points system, then i’ve got quite a bit of breathing room… My fiancée has a collection of handbags that would give Paris Hilton a scare, and she just got a horse! Shame i’m too broke right now to exploit that opportunity!
PS. I havent asked what she spends, and I really don’t care…

sad people, sad lives…
What, for expressing their opinions? Like you’re doing on here?
Do you not see the irony in this??
As far as I know nobody on here has been stabbed or beaten for having a different opinion…
As far as I’m concerned, a good proportion of football supporters are scum of the earth, just out for an excuse to cause trouble… Not ALL, but many…
Well, I totally used to THINK I got away with just not telling her about certain purchases (it’s not really lying). Then she used to come out with things like “Where did your 575 go?”. Which surprised me seeing as she despises all things bike!
The straw that broke the camel’s back was when we last did the insurance, and the bikes came to £16k… For four… That just can’t be explained away 🙁
