Really like the look of these frames. Only thing putting me off is the price!

According to their advert in the latest STW mag, Rutland Cycling have one in their demo fleet.

Bloody immigrants. 😉

Just had fish’n’chips. Nice.
Brakspear Oxford Gold organic beer
Not listening but watching Crufts on TV

On Eurosport 2 now!

It’s part of the Olympics cycle route, as well.

T-Rex?

In May 1980, a dead Lioness was found in a lake near a disused railway quarry in St Helens, Lancashire.

Wasn’t that dumped in the quarry by a travelling circus?

Mondraker Factor?

Nice little route through Houndown, shame if it’s now out of bounds? There been a lot more Army activity on Hankley, but not by the numbers quoted, or as TeamHurtmore said, very well camouflaged!

Last couple of years we’ve stayed in/around Porlock, Somerset with our dog. I can recommend The Pack Horse[/url] self-catering cottages/apartments as very dog-friendly. Loads of places around there to exercise the dog; Exmoor, Holnicote woods and beaches close-by, as well. The pubs in Porlock are dog-friendly as well!

I’m down in Surrey (Godalming), if anyone wants my STW mags.

Have you looked on the Paul’s Cycles website, as they offer older models at huge discounts and they do the Cycle to work scheme. As an example, this 2010 giant XTC 1 is down from £1200 to £879.99. Not sure how the spec matches to the current Boardman models, though.

Couldn’t give mine away for free! Let me know if you make any money 🙂

CheesybeanZ, is Colin a Wheaten Terrier? Certainly looks like ours when he was a puppy, though that was a long time ago ( he’s just turned 10).

How do I save this thread for future reference?

If you click on your user name top right, and then click forum activity, you’ll see a list topics that you’ve replied on and started. You’ll be able to link back to this thread and also see when other people have replied. All the best.

How’s about Belle and Sebastien[/URL], or am I showing my age!

Might be tempted to sell mine, if the price was right!

What kind of cheese can you use to hide a horse?

Mascarpone

How about a Titus FTM Carbon frame @ £899? Which leaves you £1100 for groupset and wheels etc.

Boardman FS Pro? £1799.

Sorry for the hijack but Greg, between jobs, wanna ride tomorrow night then at 5, petersfield Haslemere, pub and then back?

Scott – drop me an email Greg dot driver at btinternet dot com with start time and location, though I’m not 100% I can make it.

Shame I’ll miss this ride, especially if it’s round the DPB , in case I’m missing some routes!

Shame it’s not this week as I’m ‘between’ jobs, but start my new job next week, so no time off!

Why are they not selling them in the UK?

I am racing in the Merida brass monkey round 2 so you can have a ride on mine after the race assuming the wheels havnt exploded

Thanks again for the kind offer but i’ve just checked the date for round 2 (18th Dec) and I’ll be in Kent at a christening. Thanks again guys for the offers.

Thanks for offer Tazzy, but I’m down south (Surrey). 😥

If you have a Specialized Test Centre near you they can get hold of any size of Jett Comp, Carve Pro, Camber Comp Carbon or Epic Comp Carbon for you to demo…

Thanks, will have to try and arrange a test ride soon.

I’d like to try one, too, but it’s hard to find a small framed test bike. Unless anyone knows somewhere?

Oops, sorry! It was the same colour as the one on eBay, so I put 2 and 2 together and got 5;)

Nice bike all the same. Enjoy.

Nice. Was that the small frame that was on eBay recently?

Ask1974 – I’ll keep an eye out for you as I ride around there a lot, too. I’ve got an Orange ST4 and used to have a Sub 5, so enjoy your new 5.

We’re you out on it a couple of weekends back around the PunchBowl? I remember seeing a rider on what looked like a new 5, like yours!

Me, but then I’m a miserably bugger 😆

Or there’s an Orange G3 for sale in the For Sale section. In you budget at £400, though it’s a 19″ frame, so might be on the large size for you.

Hi Nita, yes I do remember you! Would be good to have to join the Godalming club as it’s been a bit quite lately. Hope to see you on a ride sometime soon.

Greg

It might be worth talking the Gorrick crew as they have a massive amount of experience of running MTB events, so might be able to help out with location etc.

Scott, thanks but I’ll give it a miss as I’m not sure what state my lights are in. May be another time? Greg

{sorry thread hijack} Hi Scott, where you riding tonight? Not been out on a night ride for a long time!

Greg.

I have a 2010 model and really like it as well. Someone was selling a 09 swing arm in the classifieds, if you want a cheap fallback http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-hope-seat-clamp-stem-orange-bar-st4-swingarm

When I did the BHF Exmoor Marathon ride a couple of years back, I stopped at his b&b http://www.reineshouse.co.uk/index.html in the centre of Porlock, along with a couple of other mtbers. They were more than happy to store the bikes in the garden, though it did mean taking them through the house as access to the garden is limited. Might be worth giving them a call, though.
