i can, just a sec…

good to hear you are on the mend, nice bike mister, looks fast!

alpin, that stem….just….no!!!!

and i love alpines too….

lol fotorat something about your post made me chuckle, competely disagree with you thopugh im afraid.

my lt ht is in the post…

+1 evil sovereign if you want steel, sinister ridge if you want alu. made by frank the welder, theres history in them there tubes!

this bike has haunted me since you posted it.

so ive ordered one.

thieves wood has loads of flattish xc, plus the cafe at portland college to park you car pre ride and a cuppa after. either side of the road there is plenty to explore for a young un. can be linked to blidworth, samson, burnstump, bestwood, annesley, moorgreen with minimal road riding.

tell me about it hora, shoulda kept mine!

i wish wellgo made a copy of something a bit bigger like a flatboy or a straitline. i love my v12 copies with ti axles but ideally i wish they were bigger. £50 from the bay, 1/3 of most ti pedals. i replaced the pins straight away for straitline style ones, i find grub screws in magnesium pedals just chew them up when you bash them

aj ygm

arg, i need a large!

i still have cash waiting for anyone wanting to sell a large 4x…

Ti29er, try local bike shops too, leisure lakes often have a few trade in bikes at decent prices.

ive got a cracking little hardtail my daughter has grown out of, going to take pics and put an ad up on here tomorrow. let me know if you want an email while im at it.

this bike shouldnt leave the front page just yet…

jo_h the rotors would be no use to me cos im running 6 bolt. if you let me know a price without rotors i could be interested…

yeah think i might try a salsa instead. ygm mr t, re: knee pads.

hmmm, mine is polished alloy so might not work either

sorry back again…

you know a bike is good when you sit on the bog thinking 'what could i sell to get one of them?'

you lucky lucky man

wow

wouldnt have gone with the pink sticker set myself but still absolutely ace.

hi swalsey, i saw your brakes and was confused by what was actually included…

cheers ppl

you dont need to drill all the way through, just the inner wall of the rim. use a drill bit 1mm smaller than they say and file it smooth after.

blur lt?

is this for the 4x hora? what colour you done it? slikgraphics look ace, good luck getting a reply though…

yeah i intend to at some point, dont know anyone who rides one so ill have to book a demo or two.

i mquite open to the idea of a 29er though ive never tried one. got a feeling they wont suit what i like to do though which is shorter rides with plenty of nadge. i get they are more suited to distance, all day type stuff rather than hooliganism? be honest, can you throw them around like a tough trailbike?

32t here too. stick a XX cassette on the back, they go up to 36t!

jacobs ladder loop? a few muddy bits but you can put together a 2-3 raz with minimal squelch. more than hour but only just, def worth it too.

ooh new series, cant wait. will never beat the first one.

anyone got/ridden a santacruz tallboy? those rad doodz at dirt have had a couple of articles saying how good it is. onyl by 3rd party contributers so it cant come back to bite them, obviously.

im in nottingham.

chemical strip was about £40, polish about £60 and lacquer about £50.

the polish job could have been better, some rough looking patches and they didnt try too hard with the detailed bits. the lacquer could have been better too.

im really happy with the overall effect though.

yeah i enjoyed super mario galaxy

missus has popped in to asda on the way back from the gym and got me then new mario bros wii bagme so ill give that a bash. cheers all.

now, any good books?

i thought about doing it myself but bottled it and used google to find local places. had to get all three stages done seperately but got lucky and they were all 5 minutes from each other. cost roughly as much as an argos respray and im happy with the results…

got mario kart, hadnt thought of zelda though.

some of the games are sitty downy; mariokart, ummm, other stuff…

well i dont see tyres, tubes, chain, grips so that might add a bit.

sounds nice though, enjoy! (and id try a shorter stem if it were me)

dull! had an op last week so lots of mariokart, dvd's and eating random crap i didnt know we had in the cupboard.

a few months ago rutland cycling were banging them out at £350, a fair few of us picked them up using a further 10% voucher. just checked and the offer is no more, sorry!

lovely bike, looks really 'classic'

lol cheers just had my appendix out. They are very generous with the drugs, though im not allowed any more for a bit. Apparently i insisted on a high five from the consultant and accused the surgeon of extracting some of my awesome. I always was a nob when i was high…
