    How do i go about setting it back to facorty settings?

    You'll probably have to have a look on the PB site to find out that. But you need to restart the computer and while windows it loading you will press F12 or some other numbers. I did it to a Dell Inspirion so I'm not sure what button you will need to press for your computer. Have a google about "Resetting (you computer model) to factory settings without cd." I can't actually remember what I did to the Dell it was a matter of pressing the right buttons to get the process started and wait.

    Just re-install XP on it. You don't need the disc to reset it to factory settings. You will need to do all the automatic updates again and set up internet/wireless connections. I did it last month to my mothers laptop. It took about three or four hours to put back on programs, get the internet working and do the windows updates. It's a much better solution than to arse about with Vista.

    Try again :P Its in Gaelic. Didn't know anyone even spoke that any more.

    What the hell kinda language is Gaelic?! Isn't that like..Scottish?

    There is Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic. Everyone here has to learn Irish in school (for 11 years). Only certain areas (Gaeltachts), speak Irish the whole time. The rest of us just speak it badly or when abroad and don't want people to know what you're saying! :P

  9. '04 Pure How Much?

    If you decide to split, ill have that back wheel off you without the tyre...

    I would %1000000 take that frame ;)

    I'll keep it in mind lads. Not too sure whether i'd keep the Pure and go second hand for the Inspired. Postage from Ireland is 60- 70 quid for a full bike. Funds aren't great at the moment so it's going to be a while before I'll be selling/buying etc.

    Cheers,

  11. '04 Pure How Much?

    Hi all,

    Just wondering much my bike would be worth. Thinking of getting an Inspired and wondering what my own bike would be worth. There are a couple of things changed on the bike since this picture was taken. The frame is a '04 Echo Pure and now has DDG 2.5" rise handlebars, Middleburn cranks with HSB Cloud9 bash and 18t cog, Hope pro 2 trials rear hub on 07 echo rear with sapim race spokes with 16t cog and a DaBomb tensioner. Everything else is pretty much the same.

    Unbranded front hub on Deep V rim, 24/7 stem, UN53 bb, Wellgo platform pedals

    If you need more info on parts, let me know. I would be keeping the front and rear maguras and middleburns/bash. If someone could let me know what it's worth, I'd be grateful.

    Got a pair of headphones that I've wanted for a while, brothers got me a couple of sets of guitar strings and the usual clothes, socks and chocolate. Going to my aunts later where we'll have dinner and maybe open some more presents! :)

    Pretty happy to just do nothing but hang out with family and friends!

    Happy Christmas!

    This is a seriously good idea! Never seen a company letting us riders actually test the products before production!

    I think a contract would be a good idea though, just to cover yourselves. Lets say that someone recieves the frame, builds it up, goes riding, and the brake mount snaps or something, injuring the rider, they could suit you... But with a signed contract saying that they're riding it at their own risk, and must take full responsibility for any damages to it, then you should be alright!

    Easiest way to do that, would be just email the contract, then they print, sign, scan, and email it back. Job done.

    I'd like to take part in it, but I know I'm no where near good enough to test a frame! (is it mod or stock?) I do think that letting pro riders test it is a good idea though, seeing as it will definately see some abuse!

    Also, what happens if someone else has a go on it, and dents it? Does the person in charge of it take responsibility for that, and has to send it on? - It's a 'dent it, send it' rule, isn't it?

    I think It's an awesome idea. The disclaimer thing would be a great idea as well for the manufacturers point of view. It's a stock frame, says so at the beginning of the thread. Also, riders have to sign the dent and photographed and record it. If you're interested in testing it then I think reading the full thread would be a good idea :PLink to other thread (Y)

    I reckon stock would be the best way to go. I had to make this decision myself last year and decided for stock. Takes a bit longer to learn stuff on the stock but has many advantages as others listed above, such as some parts being interchangeable with other mountain bikes etc. On he 24" scene, you can pick up a reasonable spec stock cheap enough but it's pretty hard to find a cheapish 24". Would love an Inspired or 24UK myself though! Hope I've helped a little!
