adam-justice - I've just added you on MSN. Sorry I didn't notice this topic had been bumped and therefore didn't spot your offer of meeting up last weekend. manual1 - Where abouts between Winchester and Basingstoke? I work in Micheldever. Phil_Onza - Yeah hello mate, how's it going? Everyone - A Basingstoke ride needs to be done. I'm rubbish at organising anything though, I'm more of a tagger-alonger.

I like. Was that build from SPARE parts then? If so, why don't you sell it to him? Or have I misunderstood your post?

Are you certain? I've been meaning to ask that question for a while but kept forgetting. Cos I'm considering getting a mini trials seat for mine.

Well I've been riding alone for like 3 years now! (ever since my mate sold his Koxx for a car). I tend to hang around the town centre area. Theres nothing particularly great to ride, but i still manage to enjoy it. We should meet up on a weekend sometime and see how we get on! I know there's a group of lads from Fleet that come here often because I saw them once when I didn't have my bike with me and had a chat with them.

This is my work desktop

What about helmets, will everyone be 'tutting' at me and such because I don't wear one?

LOL! That's quite some assumption... I left college 5 years ago!! I've added you on MSN. (should come up as robbo).

I'm a Basingstoke lad! Do you live here then? Have you got MSN?

NO WAYZ!!! I live in Basingstoke too! AND I ride a Pashley 26mhz!! Do you mind if i add you to msn?

Nice one lads, I may very well attend a local ride soon then! Either Reading or Southampton as they are both close. Cheers.

I used to have a Cannondale with a Headshok and it was SO light and stiff. BUT yeah, servicing/repairing was a major problem over here as there aren't many places that do it, and it's costly!

Is ANYONE welcome to these? I mean, I'm not sure I will fit in. Biggest issue being that I have a SEAT on my bike lol. And I'm not incredibly good. Will I have the mick taken out of me, or are you lot pretty relaxed about these things? I realise how stupid this sounds, before anyone has a pop.

Reebok Classics.

I have an Onza rear mech. It's cheap, and has a very short cage. I'm happy with it!

Street. Mainly cos there is no natural in Basingstoke lol.

I've been running XTR v-brakes for years and they are quality.

I used a thin round metal file when i did mine. It only need a few mm difference.

OK it's decided, I'm going to give up on new-school side hops and stick with the classic 'track-stand to sidehop' technique. Tricks and stunts needs to be uploaded to youtube methinks (i've never seen it). Cheers lads.

Is it a lost cause to try and learn 'new school' sidehops on my Pashley 26mhz? I mean, I'm never going to be able to 'tuck' because the frame is too big and there is a seat! Thoughts?

Where did you get the seat from?

Binge drinking girls... It's very unattractive. Fighting, puking, etc, should be left to us lads.

This isn't helpful to the post... But WHY are Leeson frames made like this?!

I like it also.

You need short back and sides mate. 0.5.

Nope, because I AM a chav.
