    Same here, every transaction I’ve done on here (maybe 10 or so) has been faultless *touches wood, then something made from trees* long may it continue!

    I’d bet a small fortune its an ad thats been copied from somewhere else, and the ‘seller’ has never even seen a 9.9.

    What about aero/bladed spokes that they use on the dark side (and some xc race wheels) Does that make a noticeable difference to anything?

    Call the store, explain what happened, ask them to check the tills, surely an £80 discrepancy would show up?

    King hubs (and headsets, and BB’s)
    Mavic rims
    Easton carbon bars
    Xtr over the equivalent SRAM
    Sdg bel air
    5:10s

    Before anyone starts crying over the price of kings, they last forever (im on set 2, only reason being the first lot were nicked) so they are good value if bought new, or a good S/H buy, as I did.

    Many moons ago now, I was a pupil here… http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2036958/Shelley-College-removes-mirrors-girls-toilets-stop-pupils-putting-make-up.html

    The ‘dress code’ was a uniform in all but name…

    Isn’t that what banks are for? Oh, and press the space bar after punctuation. Please.

    In response to your question, you might feel a bit silly asking, but it’s not like you have actually bought anything so there is no reason why they won’t give you the money back. Unless it’s a deposit for something?

    I don’t have manflu, as if I did, it would kill me (more deadly than being shot. FACT) I do however have avian flu, swine flu, mrsa, TB and migraine. All together. But I don’t want to make a fuss…

    Dans160, Ive got one on the way! excited doesnt come close!

    For me it was a £90 Apollo BMX that I had alongside a £2000 Kona Stinky (about 7 years ago), learnt to ride so much smoother and faster which transferred to the mtb. Loved that bike, wish i still had it!

    Turnover for the company as a whole for this year will be over £400 million, but the bit I (and 5 others) are paid based on is about £20 million (target was 30, a 10% increase on what we did last yr despite the recession…) that 2.5% product is our stack em high, sell em cheap one though. That said our highest margin product (that I’m involved with) is 14% average is about 5%. Of that million gross profit, I’ll see about 6k in net commission.

    Right on that note, I’m off home!

    STR, yep, thats gross margin, if slightly reduced, normal (and standard for the product) is 2.5%.

    Paying me? Thanks to frankly ridiculous target setting, its been a while since ive earn’t anything like a reasonable wage! But that’s a story for another day..

    Check, double check, then check again that the frame hasnt any cracks in it, 2009 wasnt a great year for commencal. Id be very cautious if it looks like its take a beating too.

    gwj72, I did fall off, think thats part of the problem as it was a big fall and I broke a rib despite wearing armour. It’s not put me off riding big stuff or hard/fast, guess it just takes a bit longer to get into a groove and I have to tell myself constantly to lay off the brakes! Having a group of riding ‘buddies’ egging you on helps!

    I’m nowhere near where I was 7 or 8 years ago (which was pretty good, even if I do say so myself), but I dont think its a skills or fitness problem, I think it’s as I’ve got older ive developed ‘The Fear’. I’ll be able to pick a line down the trickiest DH course, and I’ll know the speeds I’ll need to hit said lines but when push comes to shove, I struggle to muster up the cojones so I’ll dab the brake, and end up on my ar£e :(

    You paid full RRP for every single part? A fool and his money are easily parted and there one born every minute….

    There’s a banner ad for Chain Reaction at the bottom of this thread, I recommend you look at it, but make sure you’re sat down and have mug of sweet tea on the go.
