Alfa 159 🙂 or an old 166 and keep the change to run it!

i might be interested depending on location, can we ride three abreast please 😉

Cannondale six 105 Carbon Roady
Cotic simple SS
Ibis mojo SL ( with two set of forks 160mm and 140mm)
Kona dew Commuter (not that i commute these days)
( oh and theres a cracked titus frame in the bedroom i cant bear ot get rid off)

Just sold an SX Trail which really wasnt getting used.

If i had to just have one it would be the mojo, but my little cotic is very special, just not quite as versatile
Road bike is the poor mans form of cycling and would be the first to go if i was moving near decent mtbing again

the original documentary was frankly brilliant 🙂

Ive gone for oakley jawbones for the same usage u mentioned, riding and casual. however £££££££, i got mine at the airport but u dont always get much choice.

thats hilarious its censored the url of dereks pic so it no longer works 🙂
pic your bird pictures carefully!

ive done it, might think twice if it was through central london or sumthin though. now idea if its illegal and frankly i dont really care what the statues say on the matter.

SV-
2/3 of the way down

its a bloody fantastic light which will make you wish u had bought one of those (bite his hand off for that offer!)

this forum is going to the dogs…. just another example of removing the things that make it special. go ahead stop it, the forum will be inhabitied by TJ preying on newbies and will get really rather tedious

(on another poiint though let have new pictures in each A&A though some of them come up every week)

leith and redlands side is generally better than pitch, and was about 10 days ago when i rode both

I must say that to counter your slight rant USE warranty service has always been excellent (although ive used it more than i would hope!)

if i was you see if anyone you ride with has an old spare, or bodge some torches, or have a couple of weeks off, whats the point in spenting £100 for a couple of rides. If they are that important try and beg a demo light off USE?

pics taken specially for you 😛

hummm, im incompetant at this and yet male, should i be practicing?

I knew this would draw you out James the moment i saw the thread title 😛

dont think so either, different shell required
you can convert either shell size to 15mm though

no idea but i want one 🙂

Peter and Anne no longer run The Lemon House

This is a guy on here, he has a few video heavy threads about rocky trail skills if the search is working, im sure he will be along in a mo…

I just bought one for GT5 and assasins creed brotherhood

its also got loads of tv and music playing space which is pretty nice

Wl- a terra nova Voyager XL cheap from field and trek

Impressed putting it up in the house but not used in anger yet, its between two of us so ultralight wasnt as important as a bit of space

just done a touring set up and have spent:
£350 tent (which u dont need)
£54 rollmat (themarest prolite reduced from £80)
£120 mountain equipment down sleeping bag ( not really as small as u might want)
Trangia or stove and pans £30-£55
Food – supermarket
Big enough rucksack or rack system £100 Id say 25 litres is a sensibile minimum

Damping has always been better on fox IMO

Its connected into the sink like this and the smell is comming from the sink plughole

Ill give it a hotwash and see what happens

Alfa Gulietta

If after all that you want to try a hard tail find a second hand cotic soul swap the bits but hang onto your rush frame. You can then swap around as you see fit (ok it might take u an hour or two) but if you know youve got some long distance days planned use the rush frame, if you are riding locally or in the mud use the Cotic. and if u dont get on you wont loose money on a second hand cotic

ps. you mention problems with the front lifting when climbing, move your saddle forward on the rails or get an inline post if poss, your setup looks quite rear biased

a brave man…

160mm up front 140mm rear – although its usually 140mm all around

You get out what you put in, firstly out in lots of effort at GCSE/ A level and you can go to a better quality uni with higher expected earnings and job prospects.

Secondly if you slack off and get a desmond then employers know that, the degree wont help your employment much and it wont have been worth while.

A 2:1 shows employers you have studied hard but your not quite the geeky acedemic type and your worth their attention ( 2:1 from middle of knowwhere poly maybe not so much)

A First shows employers you are acedemically gifted and/or prepared to work hard therefore you will do well ( if you can get rid of the geek image they my have!)

If you want to get value out of university get into a good one, do a sensible (traditional) course and put in the effort to do at least acceptably. Otherwise it is just a nice life experiance which although it has value is not worth £9000

My philosiophy here is slightly tainted by the fact that it will become tempting not to go for a top level uni if the fees are graduated but it would probably still say that a more expensive redbrick degree would have higher prospects but whether that matters depends on what you want to do with it.

Lisa Mitchell was on a Surf add a couple of years ago, really good

1713 for my parents place where I grew up

Im a failiure but not by much and im only 23 🙂

Ok so its not rigid but they are really very good 🙂

shweeet 🙂

Rush Carbon, commencal meta 4

shame, they were quality bikes. always thought that one day id have an exogrid hardtail, no more 🙁

lots and lots of egg beater reliability issues, stick with your SPDs

PUSH Tune is well worth the money and TF tuned have genuinly outstanding service. if you arnt sure just give them a call they are lovely and will help advise which one will sort you out most efectivly.

(ps their ownly weakness is a slight slowness with email so phone is best)

Yes..

Economics at Durham (van Mildert) had a great time, met a great girl and managed to sack off the first two years and have a panic induced working hard third year and come out with a 2:1 and straight into a good job. (tip when you apply for jobs early in third year employers look at your first and second year results so its not a very good srategy to do bugger all work. i lucked it out but it was close!)

i had the v1 contour and although its really smart reliability was shocking. i second the gopro
