I am hoping/plotting to rock up with piles of kit to flog. Can I borrow a table? What time should I arrive?

I don’t even talk to them, just slam the door in their face.

oooh yes please 2 boxes and 8 batteries please.

DH 4 times, enduro once, but going back in 4 weeks, and plotting more DH trips.
Amazing trails, great guides, always nice accommodation.

#dodge..

We stayed in stoupa, but rented a car and went all over the mainland. Loved the Peloponnese. Isn’t greece a bit doge now though? What with the economy and Golden Dawn?

Unless you are an artisan bikeshop,and offer free wifi to your customers by giving them gueest access to your network. I think given that the OP had to submit an email address just to log on tells you that he isn’t in an artisan bike shop…

Its exactly the same here on stw, yourcookies guide the adverts, and mark and chipps make money from it. At least here we know who is getting the money and how many beerscat eurobike it gets them..

I never use it any more. I use 3g/4gon my phone to browse essentials. The free wifi model is about raping your usage data, its insecure and often a bit nefarious.

I have some steel on one blade forks in tasty blue.

what colour?

This is ominous, I have just bought a mega tr frame. I wonder if CRC have sorted them out or if I should just send it back before things get ugly..

Or ps4, this is enough to make me buy one, and throw my life back into gaming. oops

Righty then, its ordered.. Watch this space.

Last shout out to the short riders,  I want to press go, but worried about standover, any 5ft 5 or less riders got one of these?

At the risk of being churlish, do you think we are interested just to admire your work?

I should warn you, mine is single issue. I’m sure they are nice to other people, but after my treatment I vowed never to shop their again and go out of my way to tell others.

I imagine (but could easily be wrong) that Brant took the experience and hassle they had with the El Guapo, learnt from it, and produced a better bike in the codiene..
Am I right in thinking that Brant did not design the El Guapo, he inherited it?

Will never shop there again. Arseholes.

Prices prices??

NW has he had any creaking issues?
There is a thread about it here

mickmcd can you send me an email too. Forum name at hotmail. Com

Rick@twelvebikes your link does not work. This should do it.

But irrelevant for me as you don’t have any 26″ frames…

I would take 10 days with ride slovenia.

Cool, if you are 5ft10″ on a large that kind of implies the sizing is a little small. Hopefully I should be fine on a small.

Truth is, they make stuff better and cheaper in the Far East now. Those skills we once had we may never get back.

I think this is the wrong end of the assumption.
We have the skills and innovation, but it is cheaper to manufacture elsewhere, end of story. Until that worker/resource exploitation stops (or evens out) then our manufacturing will always be slow. Lots of work that used to be done in China and eastern europe is now coming back to the UK.

Most UK manufacturers biggest cost is their labour..

Look its 16:50, the cricket is over, it might still be sunny, but can all you short Mega TR riders come in from outside and log on to the forum now please. I have an itchy trigger finger to buy and need more reassurance. Thanks.xxx

How are you guys finding the standover? I’m 5ft5″ with a 29″ inside leg (in socks, groin to ground.)

Bump for evening crew-anyone else got one?

Transition1
I don’t want to go 27.5 yet..
TBH small covert is a tad too big anyway so I think a small bandit would be fine.

Jimmy I’m slightly confused, was the Small ASR too big? How does the Mega Tr come up size wise?

I would, but I can’t find a small 26 bandit for sale.

Ahh need a small. Bum.
I might be lucky enough to have the luxury of both, will see what transpires..

I have two of these, neither of them fit any of my freehubs, the clearances appear to be too tight. They do not fit any other free hub I have tried. Did any of you have any issue fitting these to your free hubs?
Bummer because I was going to convert both my 1×9’s to have 42 teeth. Arse.

why you sellin? What size?
Yup I have a covert, want something a bit less overkill for trails, I love my BFe but am getting old and could do with a bit of rear travel just for comfort. The reviews say it feels like a hardcore hardtail with some squish. Sounds ideal..

what are people using as mounts for these?
Also what format are the videos recorded in?

139.99, only a tenner more. Just bought it, and an lcd screen and a 32gb card.. ooops

We have inventor and utterly despise it.

I personally despise Solidworks.
Consider these from left field-all excellent at compatibility with other software.

Bailiff threatened to come round ‘with the van boys’ and break in to collect stuff but I’d done my homework.

This is why you need a camera-that kind of statement is called demanding money with menaces and leads to prison.

Administration of Justice Act 1970

“Punishment for unlawful harassment of debtors.”

1. A person commits an offence if, with the object of coercing a person to pay money claimed from the other as a debt due under a contract he:

harasses the other with demands for payment which, in respect of their frequency, the manner or occasion of making any such demand, or of any threat or publicity by which any demand is accompanied, are calculated to subject him or his family or household to alarm, distress or humiliation
falsely represents, in relation to the money claimed, that criminal proceedings lie for failure to pay for it
utters a document falsely represented by him to have some official character, or purporting to have some official character which he knows it has not
2. A person may be guilty of an offence by virtue of sub-section (1)(a) above if he concerts with others in the taking of such actions as is described in that paragraph, notwithstanding that his own course of conduct does not by itself amount to harassment.

or blackmail

Theft Act 1978

“21. Blackmail”. —

(1) A person is guilty of blackmail if, with a view to gain for himself or another or with intent to cause loss to another, he makes any unwarranted demand with menaces; and for this purpose a demand with menaces is unwarranted unless the person making it does so in the belief—
(a)that he has reasonable grounds for making the demand; and
(b)that the use of the menaces is a proper means of reinforcing the demand.
(2) The nature of the act or omission demanded is immaterial, and it is also immaterial whether the menaces relate to action to be taken by the person making the demand.
(3) A person guilty of blackmail shall on conviction on indictment be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years.

hence his reluctance to reveal who he was?

Probs, they function on intimidation only, without a court order they have zero power. The court appointed actual bailiffs are very well behaved. So just tell these geezers to eff or you’ll call the cops. Personally I would answer the door with phone in hand and start dialling as soon as they get cagey. Or answer the door with a camera in hand. Or both.
(Caveat: the local council can issue a bailiff for council tax arrears without needing court-I think..)

Yeah people do not understand what balifs are. If there has not been a court case then there can not be a bailiff, what you probs had was a debt collector, who has no right to anything or any power over anyone.
