  3. Im telling myslef they dont matter to me. Ive got a apprenticeship and got my collage certificates the otherday. I wasnt expecting anygreat in the first place, and i basically went into every exam waiting for it to finish so i could go to the pub. but having said that around january i did put my head down about so they shouldn't be to bad mostly D's maybe a E's or 2 and a couple of C's hopefully.

  4. Stinkys are horrible full stop. They feel far to sluggish up or downhill. Also the fact that there completly shite for the money you spend on them. Never ridden a banshee but they do look fairly similiar to the kona colier . The main thing you want on a all mountin full suspension bike is a rear lockout, in my opinion that the only thing that lets my kona colier down

  5. toyota yaris, 1L, 1.3L, vvt-i

    its not really what you want, its whats available to you. if you flick through a newspaper and see a corsa 1.2 with 40,000miles on for 1000£, youll be silly not to buy it

    You'd be stupid to buy a corsa. There horrible little cars. Fairliy cheap to buy but if you look how many young lads buy them then write them off your insurance on one would be a pisstake.

    Fiesta's quiet a good choice. Depending on the condition really. What you really want to watch out for is corrosion . Particually undr the door appiture and the underbody. Weve had a few old ones at work that failed MOT's because of it and there not really worth repairing when there that old and in such a state. Other than that there not bad cars and the insurance isnt such a killer either

    If you can afford it an old mk2 polo would be my choice. Brilliant cars not overly sure what insurance on them is. shoudlnt be to bad for the 1.4 model

  6. Bit of a shit spec though?

    i.e. juiicy 3s, lols.

    Juciy 3's that are just the same as juciy 5's? typical evans reply

    Im guessing what your after a burly frame. Depending on what your able to get at the shop you work in then a cove stife would be great. A lad i go riding with had one kitted out and it rode like a dream. I think he had some 100mm dirtjumper 3's but a cove will easyily take your 130-160mm requirement. He also had 9 gears on it id of thaught that wasnt enough really for all-mountain riding but he did mange to ride all the local trials and all the trial centres with us just with abit of a struggle. If it was me though id go for atleast 18 gear, some manufactures do chain guides that are compatibale with double ring's so if your wanting to thrash down a DH track you dont have to worry about smashing your chainrings to pecies

    Cove website

    If your wanting a cheaper option then id go for a DMR exalt. There a bargain at only £300 quid and will take alot more abuse the the trialstar thats already been suggested. That brings me on to my next point, The trailstar that would be the one id go for. With some rockshox pikes if you can squezze the peenys for them. There alot lighter then the cove and the exalt and it'll climb a hell of alot easyier. You may say that you not bothered about a bike that climbs well now but belive me you will!

    Hope that helps!

  7. Dont touch saracens or barracudas ther to much work. Ive spent waaaay to muvh money on my saracen to get half decent and now all the parts are bit out dated all 06 really. Not sure but i think the DMR drone is fairly cheap cant remember exaclty how much but within your budget i think. Ill get a link later rudeboy

  8. Welcome mate. Good first post you'll be validated in no time!. Also nice one on the Devinci ollie love those bikes.

    Ive got a sd7 on the front of my iron and its great cant fault it anyway really.
