About to do the same with my eldests car when the “road” tax runs out – she’s in the Kalahari for the next 12months. I assume we’ll have to insure it to some degree………………??

+1 for Deore Steel.

Absinthe and Creme de Menthe……………in tumblers.

Thanks for the engineering lesson, folks! 🙂

Now recommend me some new wheels, circa 300 notes/1700g, that’ll be OK for tyres up to 2.35″………with or without black spokes/alloy nipples. 😉

I thought toxic could log in?

Well, y’see, this is the thing – I can log into the new platform at work but from home……I can’t even get an email out to David!
Any ideas, as I’m getting pretty hacked off. 😈

As I said, previously, I could get used to it, here………but then I am very, very drunk…………………..

I might add there are no argummentative rightious SOB’s in BM. No sir, not at all, honest

*volunteers* 🙂

BBQ @ son’s Explorer Scout unit (it’s his retirement do – he was 18 on Wednesday) followed by pub! 🙂

It really is a sad reflection of the state of Bike Magic when people have to come on this forum trying to get people to defect

Don’t think that’s the case at all, pal. Just having a moan about its sad demise.

Just for the record I don’t and never have owned a Trek. 😉

Ah sorry toxic socks hold on…. nope, I gave you the wrong email – create a dummy login and email the editor or post in Soapox/the new Bikemagic forum, he’ll sort you out.

I CAN’T GET THE NEW PLATFORM!!
Sorry for shouting but I’m seriously p155ed off about this.
*looks round* Actually I may stay here, it’s Northern based after all…. 😉

Maybe we could just use this thread and ignore the sanctimonious On-One worshiping STW freaks?

😯
*hides sandals, shaves beard*
Steady, William, steady….

They are truly awful people, the worst is that bloody Nick Evans fellow.

Can’t remember the last time I saw a posting by the boy Evans…

I still get the old platform and/or HTTP 404 not found.
Who are the new proprietors?

😆 Yeah, childish but you have to laugh.

Yup, same here. Like Mr Synthpop, I drive the leg-iron nutso by reciting the Ladybird Book of Treads everytime we go walking. 😳

*starts to grow beard, buys sandals and singlespeed* 🙄

Hmm, it appears my BM alter-ego has been banned…….forever……..for no apparent reason. 🙄

Dead on it’s arse, methinks.

Do these north Leeds rides ever start in north Leeds? ie. Moortown, Roundhay etc?

Mine do, since I live in Roundhay. 😉
The NL are, indeed, social but the pace can vary between “friendly” and “somewhat quicker”. Tuesdays seem to be quicker than most but they’ll wait for the slow ‘uns 😳
…………………usually. 😉

As said when disappearing into garage in order to replace component “x” – ” Aw, it’s a five minute job………..”

Very nice. Considered a Piglet but finished up with this –

Frame is 19.5″
Forks are 120mm Rebas.

Here’s mine, at long last….

Due to the mismatched valve caps and the fact that the tyre/wheel logos don’t match up, it rides like an absolute dog. 😉

Coming from an Inbred with 100mm Reba’s to a Spark 40 with 120mm Reba’s, I’m getting more pedal strikes than I was used to.
Not the case with the new Pipedream Scion build, though, with 120mm Reba’s. 🙂

You wouldn’t believe what I misread the title as……OK, you probably would. 😉

Should have had my Scion late Feb/ early March but nope, see the comment from wwaswas. Had an email at begining of the week saying they were waiting for customs to release them, then got one yesterday saying they’re shipping out on Monday to arrive Tuesday by DHL. Hurrah and about bloody time too, in equal measures!
Can’t wait, mind. 🙂

*looks for Bighit 29er* 🙄

avoid St John’s Wort if taking warfarin
Absolutely. You’ll finish up with a low INR + an increase in warfarin dosage which may well cause problems when you stop the SJW.

I’ve got a Spark 40 2011. It’s my first F/S in 15yrs of riding and it’s epic, erm, brilliant! 🙂

Oi, Climber! Get thee hence with your bloody clown bikes!! 😉

How goes it John??

*worries some more*

FWIW, at some point in the next 18mths the missus and I will be vacating the urban sprawl that is Leeds for semi-retirement in the Lakes. Does that make us wrong ‘uns?

Tee and indeed, hee. 😀

The week before all the snow we had an episode of black ice which did not become evident, to me, until I took a right hander, on the road, at speed. Say hello to hyperflexed knee joint, **** MCL, crutches for 3 weeks, no riding and much hobbling. 🙁

I concur. Had a similar experience last year.
Good work Endura fellas (and fella- esses)!

Ordered some stuff from Woolly Hat Shop on 30th Nov, processed 1st Dec, rec’d today along with an item from Wiggle……….. that was ordered on Sunday night!
