2.3 gb! does anyone know if i download it on my superfast work comp if i can then stick it on dvd/cd and take it home for the poc i want it on? is that a basic q?

have done a few when i cant get a group together. seen some awesome things. imagined some much scarier things!

used to go out with ipod on too, now theat's freaky. cant see OR hear what's sneaking up on you in the dark.

best thing i saw was 3 lads on their weekly night DH session in wharnecliffe! good times. though freaky to see them streaking through the night from a distance!

ha ha. for all my jesting, my pro 2 does indeed feel like a hope xc with the bearings punched out and the axle just loose inside.. talk about play. the bearings last about 3 weeks for me…

see… 28mm OD. would be shit all bearing that you could fit in that gap…

it cant. the OD of the bearings aint much bigger than 20mm…

nope. well certainly didnt used to be able to. need a bulb… or a pro 2.

hmmmmm, no evans near me though. anyone else 6ft plus tried a 19?

so should i buy windows 7 if i have a laptop struggling sometime on vista… and i can get it for 30 quid?

dunno mate. would take you 4-5 hours to find one yourself. though of course you could pass this cost on…

well one way or another im clearly not his mate anymore…

Dear zxxx

Gave nothing but attitude and got the same in return. I do not now nor will
I ever be intrested in trading with you!. The reason for the extra amount
in price is the 4 to 5 hours work it takes to find the frames service check
and tune them then list them and pay the ebay / paypal fee,s and the idiot
taxes the government slap on top, more work! more cost! you savve!!!. If
you don,t get that fine!, now please go away I have work to do. I,m not
intrested in bankers who only see money signs i,m intrested in getting
bikers out biking. The riders who research the cost of what i,m doing and
know what there talking about! get what i,m doing those are the people the
frames are for not for you or your kind. Go else were and don,t email me
any more. If memory serves me right we already had this discussion. I hope
that explains this for you.
Kael.

although half way through that he sort of claims the reason its more expensive is because he is adding on his time finding the frame in the first place. AWESOME!

cant help myself! i wouldnt normally bait him like this, but i'd buy that frame… if it was cheap…

ok so i am genuinely after one of these frames…. emailed him ( i want it for about 180 out of interest as in my opinion its ratty as ****…) i was pleasant enough. here are his responses….(drumroll)

Q1) – it looks a bit tatty, care to come down on price type Q…

Dear xxxx,
Hey. it may look tatty here and there but it,s had £130 worth of work done.
If you factor that in your getting it for £200. It will run great though
and a set of decals from ebay will sort that out. Hope that helps and how
much would you like to offer me ?.

Q2) £130! where has that been spent?

Dear xxx,
How much is an air can service ?. How much is an hour of work by a
qualified bike mechanic and how many hours does it take to service a frame?. How much does it cost at any decent bike shop to have your BB faced your rear end alignment checked and you disc brake mounts spot faced ?. How much is a bearing kit ?. how much are new inner eyelet bushes for the shock ?.you like questions theres some for you !.
-airborne10101

Q3) you say you did all the work yourself. so you have spent around £12 on eyelet bushings and £30 max on bearings? so where did the other £90 go?

Dear xxx,
You watch too much TV come back to reality. sitting there sniffing farts
has damaged your wits. 1 hour to strip a frame do the bearings air can
service the shock inspect the whole frame for damage inch by inch then
realign the back end and face the BB spot face the disc brake mounts check all the cable routing and threads. and a few other bit,s as well. Your waisting my time! your TV addled wits have convinced you that this nonsense is some how an accomplishment. If this is an accomplishment why is it you have nothing to show for it but an ego massage. I,m trying to help bikers get out biking on rigs that are safe to ride, value for money and enable them to experience biking as it should be. What on earth are trying to do and why ?.

so there we have it. don't think ill buy it as he seems like a prize dick to me!

lookstasty. what size is it? how big are you? trying to workout if a 19 is too small for me (6ft3)

i beleive you'll find this is because the bikes come part assembled. therefore the bars etc may well be attached already. and your average halfords lad therefore assumes its on tight, rather than just 'on'

i remember the days of working there when we'd have to bend the rear triangle of bikes out, just so the wheels would fit in. the tolerances on 100 quid bikes are unbeleivable!

ask on an mx forum. mx trax most likely. dont expect the answer to be cheap though… think CTI braces are circa £400…. (each!)

does it? but non original colour? and ratty on top. for 300+ ?
you guys got more money than sense? the 05 trance 4 was being sold for £499 as a full bike untill they ran out earlier this year…

im only irate as im after a 20" trance.. but my gosh…

just read like it was gonna have helium installed in all the tubes and all the hardware replaced for ti and a shock made out of angels wings.

then you look at it, and it looks like he found it in a skip…

thing is… i think the 'jumps' are awesome. treat it like a large bmx track and pump everything… i,e keep your wheels on the ground, but force more and more speed out of the undulations and its an awesome course.

huck off everything like a 12yr old and yeh, no doubt they will spit you all over the place. but then you are never gonna get proper (jumping) trails on an xc loop, and if you think some of the jumps on the other xc loops accross the country are big or propper then you are kidding yourself. so many 1ft shallow lips where you huck to flat…

on an HT. be wary of expecting med to cope with longish travel and all those gears…

i ahve a medium x0 for sale if you are interested. brand new in box

Get injured mid summer, so you sit around for 4 months waiting for a shattered knee to support your own weight, whilst it goes from 25 degrees and sunny to -10 and sh!tty.

Then, when you can finally spin a pedal at all, look outside and go 'oh look its hurricane season and its minus 57 centigrade' and still go out riding… as not riding sucks ass and at that point you'd ride in ANY weather.

Right now i'd give almost anything to get back on my bike. So stop whining princess, suck it up and go have fun. If its that much of a battle to will yourself to get on your bloody bike then do something else with your life.

had no problems at all. 3 different kinds of brakes too.

henderson's relish.

yeh they do. dirty great flinty rocks.

**** me i can see why china is running out of steel. look at some of those seatposts!

you know you shouldnt be using your bmxs on xc rides right?

yeti 4x for sale if you're interested. its a long so plenty roomy!

best fast track in the area. rode it flat out back to back 4 or 5 times on my 224 and that was me spent.

serious track. some of those berms are so steep you need real strength to hold your chin off the bars.

bloody love it.
