His other piss off doesn't have flames on.

was going to attempt a p1ss poor attempt at humour … but am astonished 8O 2!!! wtf! surely the quintessential frame for this thread?

FAT Chance titanium #13…no pictures tho' as it's back at the framebuilders (again!) getting a weld repaired…

When read the words 32 of these only made…it had to be a Phil Wood PissOff, although no offence meant but I'd be pretty p1ssed off if eiht the crazy flames paint work…prehaps it looks more mellow in reality?

whilst recovering form a badly broken collar bone i did a of walkng and swimming alongside physio…when i evntually got back onto the bikes (mellow road riding to being with) i found altering my riding position very helpful, (higher & more back swpet / supportive)
Using Jones H-Bars worked well for me.

probably not…look to get a later model such as the Talisker 21 , 27 , or next seasonn 30…

I actually got as far as asking I.F. about a 953 frameset – apparently the mtb project is on hold for a bit as their stocks of 953 tubing were a bit low …
geuss it give us all time to save up for one when they eventually start taking orders !!!

Consider the Bath Ales pubs, thre's one just off Milsom St. which might suit…

I think my favourite has to be The Orb live @ Glastonbury 1993 it was a good experience for me there & then – and I enjoyed hearing some of the set again on the LP Orb Live'93 or on the tape I sernedipitously recored off Radio 1 not long afterwards

Mind you Orbital played the following year, and the live Gasto compoliation album releeased awile back inspires too

Andy, did the arrows all point towards the Crown?….">>>>My Pints In"

Was it Electro playing when the cylce courier chap in SPaced stopped to dance at the traffic lights (beeb…beeb…beeb) :lol:

for jamesgarbett's interest / amusuement pic of current set up :lol:

the 717 rim is least of my current equipment concerns!…

The good to hear FunkMonkey :D…and if it doesn't work out they don't they can go on my rigid forks

Sticking to the regal theme, sounds like this tyre should be remaned the "Throne" … or prehaps "Abdication".

I've been running the Blk.Chill Kings pretty happily in dry but over wet slick rock is sketchy, so if they fit my forks am hoping to try the R Queens instead

johnikgriff, are E150 forks the long travel DTSwiss forks?
If so am good to go :D … according to the specs the models have the same tyre clearances. 8)

Ah good to hear…
Is the name some to do with the German sense of humour

Will running em' on a Mavic 717CD

I know that there's a 2.2" model also , but my undertanding is that these do not have the lack the "Black Chilli" compound.

Teeth!

Am just away too "Moots-Moots any Mnt."

Nice 1 noteeth…

brilliant witty thread btw.

Don't have Nightmares (on Wax) staying awake to shoddy sinister rave now!

RetroBike

See the link above for a good source of infomation about this kind of kit.

I suspect they are the original Nuke Proof, the dimension & "carbon weave" look similar – Nuke Proof were more well know for making the first 'non Shimano' aftermarket hubset with a free-hub body (I think).

As what to do with them – that's up to you!

Interested to know if there were on Orange Bloods out on the demo day?

lol @ "Bikedebts" … have found memories from BITD of visiting mid ride to drool over the amzing frames they would hanging up! Most often including a Yo Eddy etc…

For more knowledge on this you could try posting a question on the Norweiagn mtb mags forum here (see link above hopefully) on the Norweigan mtb forum (Utflukt is the sectoin to look ask a question in)

Have yet too see latest mag yet…but (looks out of window) the trails around all around Oslo are lots of fun I have been riding them most of this year. What I ridden so far has been wonderful..also it's no hassle at all to put your bike on a train / plane and travel further afield.

Happy trails! :-)

mild swimming? :o

no teeth i'd say yo jumped into the shallow end there!

apart from prehaps the concept of "wild" anything in the British I generally something of misnomer…i'd say the attention these recently published book have brought to a variety of aquatic pursuits is more of a celebratory than cynical-cash in.

indeed i do, the diaspora of tyhe Hugenots (sp?) is intruiging as any silk like singletrack! Am actually bit scared of dogs (hounds of the basket meals excluded) so tend not to dwell to much on the dog pound story if true that savage! :?

Ah MBUK the links if u know your tunes u donæt need em anyway…

Vision Of Shiva: How Much Can You Take

Am sure NoTeeth will be along to plug the gaps and supply links as required…

peace out (edited as I spelt "NoTeeth" … as NoNeeth!!! :D

The Positiva label has already mentioned, howevever the definitive DeNiro track has not: here we go with helicopters…house…n'ting…

ah-ha…i know that structure!
its brilliant to learn more details about the past at work
nice1 thanks 4the info

yo!(no)teeth…great pics indeed…kinda kilve-esque

sell it and get a titanium frame?…otherwise IMHO if it's probably only worth going to to the trouble of replicating the decals if a) the bike model is very meaningful to you or b)it's a retro classic e.g FAT Chance etc.

That said and done I rememember the "controversy" caused with my good riding friend by going for a well meaning S-Works Ned Overand replica look BITD of 1992, when infact my bike was only a team Stumpjumper.

So a moral might be keep simple, and maybe do not try and transcend the 'model' no matter how cool you think the look might be!! :-)

megazillion what a wonderful word!!! and yeah I'd be inclinced to aggree from what I can see…the exploration bug has kicked in hard after months of somewhat solitary singlespeeding around my garden (aka Oslo)

"Hello? London Weekend Television."

"Its…"

glad it wasn't just me who sometimes finds the plough a little unmellow…it still makes me smile when i remember the time i ordered a round + hoped to fill my water bottle also!!! genius. I've had enjoyable times on the other side of the hill at the Carew Arms, although I ear that may have chanegd hands since i was last in the area? goodluck with the grub thing if you go for it!

mate, get the water wheels rolling if u can!

i really like that place, it would be amazing to get it turning agian…originally, apparently, the wheel used to provide powere H.E.P fpr the eastablishemnt etc. not too mention shoe polihisng servises as power dwindled (info all avaiulible o read on a nice sign by the wheel). T
Lovely location, much respect for the possible rennovations, & hospitality when I've been lucky ewnought ot ride thru,

soudns familiar: when reading the stuff remember that over time the quarry change shape /:perimiter / etc.. etc. it has becmome (maybe accidently a deep old rad place)

Changing tge subject slightly – did u i.d the wheels u found?
Also if ever in need of a chill a beer…check into the luxurioous place at the bottom of the coombe which is comeplete with a waterwheel

i'd be suprised is u found any pics from that early era…i recall reading in the S.R.O archives: accounts of steam rollers mending lolcal roads , and debates about whose responsibility it was to provide good fencing around the perimter of quearry n'ting…my best suggestion (offthe top of muy head) for infomation would be go study the relevent docs yoursself and fit it to the ground , or else contact the good folk at the nearby W.S.R as i can enviage someone there knowing a lot. Goodluck!

Noteeth!…get your false teeth out here mate!

Bring your best What Fjord Face…

i like this thread a lot…especially reading ifrom a Fjord far far away.

re. quarry working: there are some good refs to ?this Quarry extracting 'roadstone' in the early 20th C. in the relevent R.D.C minute books held in the Somerset Records Office.

looks like a fine exploration.

lol @ the LoR jokes too

That's really cool…especially the Campag kit. :-)

savage curcut breaker scaenario 8O…as a knock on effect theft of man-made trails will rise i tell ya… :D

bike riding is mentioned in the above linkage…seems apros

studiously ingnoring the above rehtoric…my question is wtf is HGH?

Nice outcome…
i recently discovered a crack in my much ridden Fat Chance titanium -so this thread makes interesting reading – my thoughts are once failed it seems pretty difficult (but not impossible) to salvage a ti frame cost effectively?… Which puts a perspective on the "for life angle"…basicaly while ti frames (& obviously all are not fabricated equal) will not rust, once they bust, they are dust?

ah, it nice to see some Mendipisoity on STW…have a fine ride y'all

as for how long will it take to drive from Weston?…look at he map & try cycling it.
