I did this with an Identiti Dr Jekyll and Its a right laugh on the pump track and table top at the local DJ spot. Not got the balls to properly launch it but it's more than capable.
Here in Aberystwyth's just fine…… You've got Man made like, Nant yr Arian a short ride away, Climachx just up the road, Brechfa just down the road, as much natural riding as you can take in the Cambrian mountains, and great beaches such as Ynyslas only 10 minutes away…..
You forgot Dirt Jumps, a Pump Track, Active night-ride scene, road club with 10 and 25 mile TTs, locally built DH trails and Caersws an hour away :D
Back end of the Syfydrin (Conti) will be wet in places as always but then its lakelike in mid summer out there! The rest runs dry in pretty much any conditions. If you stick to the Summit you should stay dry from trail water. Can't promise the same for water from above though!
Looked into it a few years ago and most of the jobs were with RAF Regiment or similar posts. So more basic soldiering than interesting engineering/flying/radar type areas of the business. I only looked briefly though so don't take my word as gospel.
I'm interested in the same thing come Feb and the Kona Jake the Snake is on my radar. Also keeping a keen eye on the Cotic X for pricing and build details but I bet it comes in expensive. I'm after a light cross bike as I intend to do the odd 10mile TT on it with clip on TT bars. It'll be a real jack of all trades bike, or should that be Jake ;)
My poplock snapped the cable outer right under the poplock lever on the first outing. Doesn't look like theres a ferule on there to spread the load. I'm going to convert back to a fork-top dial
LOL Why did nobody tell me that this counted as a Manual. I'd been trying to balance for a meaningful amount of time rather than just pulling up on the bars for a moment:
Jamjar full of petrol for a quick soak and shake around. It's probably terrible for the chain but it's served me well so far. Got the idea from a co-rider who uses diesel sometimes.
Didn't buy anything but obviously I have a couple packs of Tangfastics in the cupboard as most mountain bikers do. They better not come knocking! MY sweeties!
Orange spotted it as an error right away and have organised to pick up the frame and return it with a 2010 rear end with the improved stays and new cable mounts :D
How do people post vinyl that they sell on eBay? I've got 10 or so 90s rock albums I need to get rid of and was thinking about trying the Bay but was worried about damage in the post.
