ahhh so effectively £7300 to rent it for 2 years, basically £300 a month?

seems cheap

Whats the +6 mean? £6k?

The soul is made from ‘better’ more expensive 853 Steel.

I thought the Soul & Bfe had identical Geo?

I’m 6’1 with 34″ inside leg. Ride a 19″ Solaris (29er) & 20″ Orange 5 (26er) & run a lot of post on both, 250mm+!

Both have 60mm stems, HTT is 635mm & 620mm but they feel similar. if it feels right, chances are it is, dont worry about the size unless it feels to big!

Better or Better VFM? Im sure you could get a better cut pretty easily…

Ill tell you what not to get, Endura Superlite Waterproof Shorts, just not that good imo.

no such problems when I have been, want to try going for a piss at Anfield at HT

Good condition & clean blades

wash windscreen

window cleaner inside & out

that will be more than enough, no need for Rain x etc…

tell us more then? build cost etc?

Try the Endura FS260 Jersey? Quite thin but windproof front & arms

Whyte

Don’t have a Fat bike, might see you out though!

Crosby? Formby? Ainsdale?

I’ve got Reba at 120mm n my Solaris for what its worth

sounds like bad parenting to me :twisted:

Never had anything other than brilliant service from Merlin when ordering online! Brilliant!

In store they have some misrable sod end behind the counter mind :lol:

Where does it say that? :lol:

OTOH how often do you get to have a meaningful testride anyway? Most are too short, or somewhere you can’t properly try it out, or otherwise hampered, and often they’re just not available even for a non-mailorder brand. Not the end of the world I reckon.

Depends really, when i bought my first FS Bike in 2008, my lbs got me x8 FS demos, I had most of them for a week, & all for at least a weekend.

Also, the YTs are such ridiculous value, if you don’t like the frame you can almost throw it in the bin and use it as a parts donor.

Diminish the Value somewhat doing that though doesn’t it?

Read above comments. Anyone with a yt raves about how it rides.

Aye but they would & that still doesn’t mean its right for you & I… chance you take I guess.

Where can you test ride a YT industries bike? Just because it offers great vfm, doesn’t mean its a great bike to ride, or should I say a bike you will find great to ride!

Gorgeous, up to the point where they put the brake calipers on opposite sides and painted them yellow to make it really obvious. That annoys me!

See that a lot on high(er) performance cars

said academic qualification is said academic qualification regardless of what you think…

Think the red looks great, build it up, can always get it sprayed at a later date!!

I doubt I would have a routine to be honest

As requested thedon! :-)

For those who haven’t seen it, keep an eye out for the balloons! 8O

I actually noticed a real lack of purchase opportunities this year, got one in Tesco in the end.

24 hours notification of a cancelled appointment is not ideal, but you chose to plan your week around an appointment that is always subject to change.

Have a wander round town on a friday evening, look at what all the fast lads who know how to handle a car are driving. Civics, Focus etc.

haha this is quality! :lol:

I was about to say – Fabia vRS. Older ones are very understated but quicker than the Octavia

Quicker than an Octavia VRS?

BMW 130i
Golf GTI (Edition 30)
Octavia VRS 2.0T
A3 2.0T FSI
Seat Leon Cupra/FR

Probably because it was a diesel / petrol comparison.

Badge, marketing, preconception, perception, people willing to pay money for status?

thats all true, but so are the comments about bmw being better with regards to refinement, driving experience etc.

Personally I’ve never understood the obsession with BMW’s – they all look a bit samey.

That’s your opinion & that’s of course fair enough, but if there was ever a manufacturer to be guilty of that it would be VAG in my opinion.

Think im putting 120mm Reba’s on mine The don, will let you know when done!

internet is full of Disco 3 problem stories, they seem to easy to come by

Yes I did :)

Just going for it, but I do already have a large 29er

6’1 Thedon, also after a nearly new one! :-)

fatgit, I bought it, Cy rang me up & said it wasnt actually a XL in a L box, one of those things.
