I thought it was funny until I read the coments section and all the “still voting UKIP” and “he’s right” comments.

I love mine, was free because my brother was getting rid after a week of using it as he hated it. So it obviously varies, I’m twice as heavy as him which might have something to do with it…

You have described the whyte T130. There is a £2k and 2.3k model.

Leyzene zecto drive. Bright rechargeable and easy to mount.

My alpkit gourdon has a compartment for a hydration pack. Never used it though as is just my commuter pack.

100% do some semi-winter gloves for £20

Specialised fast track is what you want.

While we are asking questions…

In Wales v nz game nz had advantage and kicked the ball welsh player caught it so they came back for a pen. Then later Wales were playing the advantage kicked nz cathch and ref says advantage is over and nz play on.

Does it vary depending on what the pen/advantage is for?

If they won’t firm up enough anymore then take them back to where you got them, will probably need sending to fishers.

Just had my first listen to the new machine head album and already seems like one of their best but need more time…

EDIT: beaten to it

As above the alpkit is great.

16+ stone. On a 2015 whyte G150 with plenty of air in the suspension and works great. I’ve never really had a problem with anything as long as it has decent air suspension.

Whyte T130 S

Contact exposure (USE) and they should be able to sort it out for you.

Don’t do it…

People ordering bikes and them taking so long they have bought something else?

3 for tenner on most sizes in leisure lakes.

Fully intact wooden lolly pop stick is my record. Along with the usual hairbands and a few screws/ coins.

Fox do most of their pads in youth sizes which are quite small.

Looks nice, know a few people who have bought something similar recently. I’m currently getting my dads 90’s raleigh mtb running to use as a commuter.

Riding ok bit slippy in places but perfectly rideable (well maybe… I went otb big time on an off camber bit yesterday…)

On the whole motorbike demo vs MTB thing. The big difference is in the money made surely.

Yes they gave you a 12k bike for free but they would make a lot more profit from that if you buy one than an MTB and there are also less variations in sizes for particular models.

Yeah yeah yeah, every customer’s a twunt.
Change your model, react to the market. If you’ve got all these hardtail owners looking to rent a a full susser then maybe offer a bike rental service instead? Try and innovate instead of wasting your time asking about the new VAG diesel’s MPG on STW.

Guess what, the world’s changed!!! Find your USP and work it instead of giving up on life and complaining that people are stupid. If they’re that stupid then surely it should be easy to make money off of them. Work it out Mr Businessman.
The only constant in the world is change. React to it.

Alright calm down. My point is we do fine selling bikes the way we do and most people are happy with paying when they are going to splash a few grand on a new bike. I have no interest in hiring bikes as it would have to be a lot more expensive than our demo bikes to make it work.

You don’t need to adapt and change everything if you have a good business and customers that value that.

If people only demo’d bikes they would buy then we wouldn’t charge. But people will ring and ask if we have demo bikes available because they only have a hard tail and are going to bpw for the weekend and want something else to use and openly say no when you ask if they are looking to buy a new bike.

Or bring them back plastered in mud and it takes an hours cleaning to get it back in a condition where we can put it in the shop.

A customer made this for us

Not the prettiest I will admit but it does have a nice shapely figure I think.

Good show and fair play on the record looks like hell riding that thing soaked in piss for 24 hours!

Can’t wait for next weeks one with pikes peak attempt.

Cube 140 won’t be available until next year if that helps the decision.

We have a new frame in the shop. Can check what size it is tomorrow as not sure…

Spesh zee cage is good. Even do a carbon one for a bargain £50

My current one and first full suss. So stable and I feel like it gets me away with a lot of stupid things and scares the hell out of me without killing me!

Merida hard tail thing. Was the bike that got me back into MTB but my god it was terrible nothing worked on it at all I changed most of the parts. Then as soon as I rode another bike I realised what a miserable excuse for a bike it was.

Leyzene zecto drive. Rechargeable and very bright with 3 led s so you can have one solid and the rest flashing.

A bike shop or a cash converters type place?

If the latter def stolen

My kids are both on balance bikes still but first time I bought a halfords one and it has been more awful than even my low expectations. I have had to change the brake lever for one that actually works, grips from ones not made of slippery plastic and changed the seatpost and stem bolts to ones that actually clamp it properly.

Then recently for my youngest I bought a Frog balance bike and it has proper parts that work and weighs a lot less and he was able to learn to use it much faster and easier, it was 50% more expensive but 100% worth it.

He is the boss so he has to make sure he has a better bike than the rest of us 😉

I read “bed seatbelts” and thought the thread was going to be about some kinky bedroom hardware.

My bosses T275 carbon is just over 27lbs with a £8-9k build so no way that thing is anywhere near.

As above you need to head out kd Newport to get to anywhere worth riding. Van road in caerphilly for jumps.
