  1. looking sweet!I got one on its way for dirty cheap from the sponsor :D

    Do the tensioners work well or not? or they just realy fiddly?

    I think thats the last one in the country. Question is.......is it worth producing another batch?

  2. What? Like an Inspired? Or a GU? Or maybe the Rockman Aurem? Sorry, baby blue with white looks frickin' sweet but it's currently being done to death. I should know, I started the craze*.

    *Albeit around 4 years after Paul Turner did it on his Curtis.

    Ha ha, oops completely forgot about them. Thought I was being original. Was the skull and cross bones a jibe at us or Koxx?

  3. Behold.....for all you disc fans that need to see it to beleive it. Same as before except,

    Square holed head tube= Reduce weight.

    Slim line dropouts= Reduce weight and make it look pretty.

    Slim webbing= Reduce weight, Webbing before did not need to be that thick,

    Will be tested by Joe when he gets back and hopefully in 6 weeks I can order them, So hopefully they will be ready in the shops in 2 1/2 months. Send your color ideas now!

  4. Dude, He wont have been able to send them until yesterday, Then if you trust 1st class royal mail today would be the very earliest he could them to you. Jeez! I remember have to wait the old 28 thing years ago. How things have changed.

    I just noticed your in France, Maybe today is a bit hopeful actually.

  5. Thats how they did it back in 2007, the team was full, no-one complained, we got good results.

    Bring on 2008 and the selection process started meaning you have to enter the nationals. cue observers letting people get away with murder and an un-filled team (and a very unhappy me)

    now to the present and the same selection process but now an even small team! I would have LOVED to have done to Australia, but an injury back in march ruined it for me because of the selection process. HOWEVER, two of the selected riders managed good results earlier in the year but injured themselves recently meaning I am now fitter and possibly in for a better chance at a good result then them but I am still not considered (although to be fair I havn't asked to go as I can't afford it now).

    I can see why Joe is pissed, the selection process needs a re working!

    Thanks Ali, It would not cost anything to allow Joe to compete or yourself. If they were paying hen fair enough. I not on here purley because a friend of mine has been let down I'm trying to raise the awareness of the silly selection policy we have. Fill the team for gods sake. You were harshly done by last year and I said nothing about it due to me not understanding it So I fully back shouting about to anyone this year.

  6. Rider doesn't ride well enough in qualifying events. Doesn't get picked.

    End of thread?

    I think that is exactly what Jack is getting at, that is how British cycling see it in such a black and white manor! He can ride with the best and he wants to. Its just British Cycling will not let him do it because???? surely the point of the thread is why can we not just pick the 10 best riders in the country and let them compete. We have only selected 6, Tom Rankin went last year to Italy and I think he should have been looked at again this year as we have the space on the team.

    The thread is not about "everybody back poor Joe up" its look at the selection policy we have and do we think its a correct way to choose a team.

  7. no, i never said that.

    He should be aloud to go. Why not, the more the merrier. But British cycling obviously have there reasons. And i also know what you all mean when you say 'his results are good, and hes the only 20" rider wanting to go any way.' But they have made a choice havent they.

    And he can still ride new zealand. Anybody can ride there.

    Thats cool then, I think Jack wanted to let everybody know that he is not allowed to go when he wants to, And there is no real reason why he can't. So you support Jack's thread then.

  8. Joe, I think thats a bit harsh, Jack didn't say world champion. He just meant someone who was our best chance. To be honest Joe got a really good flight deal offered to him and he took it while it was still cheap. Booking now would have cost a few more hundred pounds. To be fair if I was him I would have thought I would have been picked to as he has no real competition from anybody who is willing or could afford to go.

    So you think he should not go then?

  9. The reason was his world cup results this year were not good enough. Fair point although he IS the highest placed, and has attended the most world cup rounds this year that Britain has. It would not cost British Cycling anything to allow him to go. There are 10 spaces to be filled in the British Trials team I believe and they have only picked 6. Yeah Joe will probably not beat Benito Ros but at least we would have a British 20" rider going.

    Hope that helps all the people confused with the distress that Jack is feeling.

  10. Just letting everybody know that the following bikes....Blade, Comp and Master (at least Tartys stock) will all be fitted with the Pro Series pads. This will allow a huge UK test and they will be available for the after market in the next few months.

  11. atleast someone supports him (Y)

    burton did very well too, if youre in top 20 in UCI comps you must be good

    I wonder what happened to ben savage, he rode only 3 sections

    Well done to Slinger who is on fire at the moment!! Savage rolled his ankle and may have done some lig damage but hopefully he we will be back on his feet in a week.

    Drei did superb to say he was just back from his shoulder injury, think he has been out of action since April.

    Also gotta say well done to Seddon who reached the semi's too.

    Cheers
