mine looks like a blank door mat first time its been late!!!! OH well Is there a follow up on the ibis test bike in there??

Thansk Chaps!! Rich I'll give you a mail tonight!!

high rollers seem to be the fav with the cycle active guides my fire xc pros did ok but the side wall took a right caining after only two days….

1.05……….. 8O have watched it four times to see just what actually happens that chap is amazing!!!!

well mate I thought that was BL**dy brilliant!!! Only problem I have and its a big one!!!!! is it's reminded me I have to wait till saturday to have a proper ride again!!!!!

Really good mate, look forward to your next one!!!!

runs off to garage to check if frame is still there……. 8O love the saddle, that has got to be stolen!?!

honestly mate you'll get a ribbing on your colour what ever you go for!!! most important thing is yolu think oooooooohhhhh yesssss when you open the garage door and take a look at it pre ride!!!!!!!!!!

any vid of the run anywhere?????

nice one MR Peat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

location Dundee!!!!…..AFAN may be out then….. :oops:

I'm 6'2 and ride a 20"!!! As for up grades! I got the pro stuck 819 rims on it rlc32mm forks hope pro kit upped to m4's and the performance pack? carbon bar fizik saddle etc Just brilliant!!! So no complaints however the standard cassette is made of cheese (not even cheddar think warm bre!) and the race face BB are pants on my third on warrenty now!.

Amazing amazing bike just love it for all the trail centres etc the 32s are fine mate, I would set the bike for what you do ride year round not just 4-5 weekends a year if you get me? Finally I would test ride a 16 mate, my LBS an orange dealer could get any frame size in from orange the spec maybe different ie not a pro an S but it lets you get an idea of the frame you dont want any questions in your head. Afan bike shop has lots of demos too you could kill two birds with one stone test ride a 16 and try 32's at a trail centre!!! Wicked bike mate cant wait to see it!

got two pairs of spesh shoes hammered bith pairs and still going well only the "proper racy" shoe is starting to go in the vents!

Also have some taho's this will be their 3rd winter and still in really good nick highly recomend you have a look at these the for an all rounder mate.

mega fast love it!!! only a month old!!

really pleased all of them are ok mate. No matter waht you think about why the lads are there. they deserve all our support and any kit they need to keep them safe. (have 2 mate who have been out there both home sfae thank god)

Mojo?? Loving mine at the moment!! 8)

ended up with the MBUK calendar up at work!! 8O

15-20% I dont really go out two kid's and to be honest night out with curry=£50?? rather have bike bits and a curry at home!!!!!!!!! once all bills etc are sorted as well as extras for mimi people then whats left I spank on bike bits!!!!

legend new bike nerves!!! Good luck on the first ride mate!!! :D

I think its possible for sure, but your talking mega fit and skilled with a big hit of luck! As for me I'd reckon I'd do about 30 meters before getting off for an enjoyable walk to the top!! :lol:

I'm sure it been in one of the mags too and WMb springs to Mind like with the others on here.

Would be intresting to see how top level guys would do like Julian Absolom or Lance Armstrong? No issues with running out of gas with those chaps!!

HRM makes a huge difference to me mate, I use it when "training" on the meridas etc. lets me see ho |I'm doing as well as feeling, so I dont go out too fsat in the keep up with the nine stone chap in lycra on the 19lbs carbon HT!! NOt that I can :roll:

I have a Polar CS300 brilliant bit of kit it will also pair with a speed and cadence sensor as well. It fits on the bars on an adaptor and is a handy time telling device!!(ie its a wrist watch!!) Good post though its hard to find good info with out being over whlemed by techie info.

I also like the merida programme as a start point too. IT's just the time really two kids under two so not a lot of it but they are only small for a short time so I'll put my peak off!!!!!

Am like a dog with two……well you get my point!!!! Thanks for the comments all!!!

Yes mate 140mm not sure about the 2010 ones? Its my long distance bike meridas trans wales etc with additional skill compensation!!! :oops:

Sounds like a plan!!!!! (you'll feel it in the morning though!!!!!)

OH mate, hit it head on and stay focused on getting better, Will be thinking of you and will keep an eye on this thread to see how your doing once your back fighting fit mate I'll buy you a pint post ride!!! :lol: best of luck.

Lake district!!! Sorry WCA would be there other wise looks a right laugh! next year mate next year!!!

I'll take the fire xc'c on the chin but I really like them like the grip and roll well enough for me…as its my face that hits the dirt when the high rollers wash out :roll: I'll stick with what I know and love!!!!!!! :D Yes mate picked it up from rock and road yesterday, Andy is a legend!!!

Eh sorry about the posts dont have a clue what just happened :oops: as for 26lbs that what the sclaes said at the LBS so I'm happy!! I did ruin it by putting huge pedals on it though

26 lbs according to the lbs scale colour is nice in the flesh actuall pic doesnt look right!!

No worries will keep an eye out qe lords wood etc.
