Toddler logic: a conversation with a friends 3 year old boy began with, "Do sharks eat ghosts?" It got weirder after that.

I went to a boarding school about 10 miles from Kendal in the early eighties and we had an outdoor Fives court, its a fun game and it certainly toughens your hands up. Sounds like one of them.

Auckland- best, good weather,great range of food both eating out and groceries, quality of life is reasonable people are friendly, no chavs, cheap cars/petrol
worst- its new zealand and so a day away from the rellies and friends on a nut crushingly dull flight.

no love for UK Decay?

And to think you were debating leaving all this behind….

Jean Tripplehorn, Emma Thompson, Mariella Frostrup the list is endless

however the pound is the weakest against the NZ$ that I have ever known so probably not as good value as it might normally be.

Marrows make excellent thai yellow curries.

There's a thing down at the pub where i work called Johnny Black, Neck tattoos shaven head and two size 12 boots of bad attitude to all of us behind the bar, I really wish I didn't know him.

I had my first ever migraine about 4 weeks ago brought upon by a very stressful week, it started with a pretty rough headache at a bout 4 pm on a wednesday and by friday when it hadn't subsided and i'd spent the most of the night vomiting I went to the doc's. He did loads of neurological tests and was very thorough before giving me some 10mg Maxalt melting lozenges which worked within 20 mins. Haven't had anything like it before or since.

My 14 year old karrimor vail. used throughout winter every year and most early commutes. bombproof and not showing any signs of wear. I love it!

Better on newspaper….

my last proper bail was on slicks in the wet, it all happens so quickly.

No need to shave the hair off, already rockin' the #1 all over what is left of my glorious mane of golden locks.

Who says we're not?
Apart from our wives obviously…..
Oh and i always forget to tick the correct sub forum, i' such a dork!

luvly. looked to be a hot day, is it Spain?

make no excuses for the lawn, its at the batch and we don't get down often enough to keeep it manicured like a pornstars situpon.

family, beer and post ride chillouts in the sun.

Ton have you considered Konas in you quest to personally keep the cycle industry afloat in these austere times? i an not as lofty as you but tip the scales at a cuddly 93 kg, have found the Coiler amply(?) takes all i can throw at it.

This thread is twistin' my melon.

tried to impress my mates sister by hitting a reasonable drop off about twice as fast as I normally do. got a continuated fracture of the greater tuberosity on my right arm. I nailed the landing but the front wheel washed out as I tried to scrub the speed for the run off.
took months before I could lift a phone book.

Any orange X1 left on the trails, or UFOs for that matter?

I can't get my head around what I don't like about pitches, i don't wish to offend but there's something not right about the top tube IMO. what do they ride like?

I am neither fast or fit but am nearly a planner. what do I get?

Being a mountain biker need not necessarily exlclude one from being a ****t. Dubya liked a spin and he was a proper cad.

My take on this is it's a bike for people (of which I am one) who want a nice framed moutain bike, not necessaily for hucking or abusive riding. There seems to be a high count of hardcore hardtail types abounding here on stw( as verified by the endless "what 200mm hardtail niche-rig?" posts) however im damn sure there's plenty of us out there who would see this as a sweet ride for longer days and not so much of the mental descent type riding.
i'd give my left t!t for one. I loves me some slim tubes!

Show him the workshop grease gun, if he's truly french his arms will be above his head in a microsecond.

mine came with poxy awful nokian 2.3s ditched them as they were both heavy and crap on dry loose surface which is what i predominantly ride.however i reckon you couls get a well inflated 2.5 in easy enough. as for bearings i beleive they are guaranteed for life and are pretty agricultural.

San Andreas = -273 kelvin.!

I have an 04 Coiler Deelux as my main ride, I am not that fit and bought it on the premise that its tough as phuck, plenty of travel, and will cope with the modest drops i attempt. It's neither light or elegant but works well with a Van rc shock and you can always spec some light ish robust wheelset to offset the porkiness of the frameset with that price.
i've used it for 12 hour races as its a bit of a skill compensator when you're buggered at 4 in the morning and making poor line choices! :wink:
just my 2 cents.

Does a your chewing gum lose it's flavour on the bedpost overnight?

what did the fish say when he swam into a wall?

Nut screws washers and bolts.
big artichokes three for a pound in morrison's.

cynic-al poor trolling effort. My Kona is just super.
