Afternoon sportsfans! Been off the bike for 7 months now, mainly due to not really getting on with the D15C very well, deals going tits-up, and not really having the motivation to ride. So i've jumped on the 24" bandwagon! All's going well so far, absolutely love the frame and the ride of it, just need to learn how to become a bicycle extremist again! (anyone riding a 24 in London on the 1st, prepare to be quizzed for advice!) Looks a bit mad, but i like things that are different, and the ride is AWESOME! The troll is still going after 3 years on my bikes! Spec is as follows: Leeson 609 Bump (1035, +25, 74*, 385) Inspired pivotal seat + post Fattys Outland (?) Steel Headset Azonic Shorty 90x15* stem Azonic Double Wall 2.5" bars 6 year old Gusset b*****d grips Middleburns (One 'burn one SR Suntour atm - i'm that cool) with Leeson bash and 22T sprocket DMR V8s Front Chris King ISO/ Rhyno Lite/ Tioga Comp X Rear Chris King ISO HD/ Rhyno Lite/ DMR Moto Digger Trialtech 17T sprocket + carbon spacers Rohloff Tensioner Front 200mm Hope Mono Trial (Too big, will put on a smaller rotor when money allows) Rear Avid Ultimate lever and arms, Onza 4Bolt-Vee adaptors, Clarks cable and Inspired pads Big thanks to the Tarts for the top quality service, and Matt Burrows for the frame Just gotta learn how to ride the thing! Matt

Pretty sure i'm getting dragged into that, just on the Saturday Looks like i may have to bring the bicycle for a wee session, then.

SOUP! SNOW! SIMPSON ON A LEESON! Sums up my day, really

St. Paul's: FAT PANTS:

About a mile down the road, Andrex is getting (and i quote) "big f**king chunks of snow" And here, it's not snowed for 2hours

Evening all! Planning on heading up for the weekend to see a certain someone, and thought i'd try and squeeze some bicycle riding in while i'm there! Just seeing if anyone would be up for it (Grant, Owen, BJH etc), never ridden there before, seem to remember Owen saying it was pretty good? If anyone's about, catch me in here/ send me a pm/ grab me on msn. Cheers, Matt

Wanna give me a lift Mr. Michael?

Guessing i'm the only cool enough to have made myself a headset press

Totally agree with Lucas, would never be able to justify buying them new, but i got mine cheap second hand and am absolutely loving it!

First pic of that rail ride, you f'cking mentalist! Very nicely done, Mr B!

I was expecting an "i'm gay" thread, followed by some "OH NOES, HAXORZ" but alas, i was wrong. Congratulations dude! Wish you all the best

I think the death penalty would deter people, but then as said, there's the big "what if they get it wrong" thing, so i don't really agree with it. What i do agree with however, is that when someone gets given life behind bars, it means life behind bars, not 12 years if they behave themselves. Light sentences for serious crimes just takes the piss. I think something should be done to stop people so readily killing each other, but the death penalty is a little OTT. Anyway, where's the suffering in a quick death?

Crank arm has been acquired, time for practice.

Anyone heard from John or Martin? Rick, is it still ok for me to borrow a crank arm?

Getting one hell of a team there, fellas! Best of luck for the coming year, hope you lot get the results we all know you can achieve

i'll be there for 11, then

If the weather's good, yes, yes i do.

Bit of a late start, is it not?

Mike, M.A.M, i'd love to meet you both, so expect to recieve some loving from someone on a blue Leeson 609. As for the great hoardes of people riding, everyone always splits up after about 30minutes, so usually you have a bunch of people such as myself, Simp, Cristoff etc mainly pissing about and not riding much, the inch-pinching crew going sideways, all the street dudes session-ing things and spending a fair bit of time around southbank, the pros being awesome, and the younger lot going round dragging their brakes. Whatever happens, it will be one of the best rides you've ever been on. Fact.

If it snows: A: Vee's don't freeze. B: I have no brake if it's slightly damp. I'll be out whatever happens Oh and jordan/luke, take an angle grinder to your rims. Hustle.

My great aunt built Bombers in WW2. My Grandad on my mum's side was in the fleet air arm, taking pictures of things, guns, missiles, planes, said planes crashing/ falling off the side (got some funny pictures upstairs ) And then did loooooads of photography/ advertising stuff. Great Grandad on my dad's side was in the cavalry during WW1. Think there are a few more interesting ones, everyone else was just boring

Am i the only one who really wants a nanoboxx?

That's why it took me so long to meet everyone last time! Stupid line closures... I'll probably tag along with Simp to meet peoples
