I think you should buy a full build XTP, and upgrade to Ti bolts through out.

Who was that? I don't know anyone who's had problems over here, it's pretty much only me who buys/sells. Oh and yes I'm the guy swapping with Biddle.

Some sort of large clamp (31.8mm) riser bars, and a stem with similar geo to an Echo team, which is probably the most popular mod stem. If you were to go with a high riser bar then perhaps think about a slightly lower stem. It's personal preference though.

You're so harsh on Fatty, cannot stop laughing though.

£6000!!!! Jesus Christ, prepare to get f**king fleeced on the insurance. I'm spending £1250 on my first car (hopefully getting it next week) and I thought that was quite a lot! A bit of an unusefull post, sorry.

The Smiths Richard Ashcroft Primal Scream More Oasis. Pretty much all i can think of, as you can tell it's mainly 90's rock/indie/brit pop, all better then the shite coming out these days (apart from new Coldplay album)

Well if you even bothered to read the topic and look at the pictures properly, you would realise that he has a Louise and putting washers on the disk side of the hub has already been mentioned.

Oh my god that's nice, now get that weight down!

Tartan.

In my opinion thses are the best bands (not in order). Oasis The Beatles Stone Roses Coldplay Radiohead The Verve Happy Mondays Ian Brown Paul Weller Supergrass Madness Ocean Colour Scene Libertines Blur The Who Sex Pistols The Clash Arctic Monkeys Manic Street Preachers

Interesting...... if i have the cash (and can be bothered) think I'll either get them or the Rockman superlights. Cheers.

You're a full member, this is NMC.

That's what I do, no problems with it, just a bit fiddly having to flex the forks to get the wheel in.

Class, as usual.

Massive gap to front between rails was amazing! Now do a downwards front wheel gap to rail.

Fancy saying where?

Horrible.

Them Gazelles are stunning!

You got enough tar on that rim? Bike looks alright.

There's a bike pics thread.

Good enough for me, f**k paying like £145 for real ones in the shop! Fake shoes f t w.

Get some of these, I have last seasons ones. Really expensive in the shop so get 'em off ebay, probably robbed but meh. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-ADIDAS-Y3-TRAINE...bayphotohosting

It does work, but not well. Pads will always be quite high up on the rim even when the wheel is all the way for forward in the dropouts. So you can't really tension the chain becuse moving the wheel back makes the sidewalls lower, which means that the pads would probably be rubbing on the tyre.

For the second pair I would recommend Adidas, I like pretty much everything in the range, and they seem to be really popular at the moment. Especially like Gazelles, and a lot of the Y3 range.

Hmm, I spose I could but they're probably not much lighter but double the price. Cheers for the info though.
