Polyrhythm

Alex, hurry up and get yourself another bike. It was a waste of a damn good rider when you stopped. You'll pick it up again really quickly. It's just like riding a bike... Greg.

Top work today chaps, was a good day! Greg.

I'm only down the road in Street. I ride pretty much wherever and I'm always keen for trying new spots. I usually get out once or twice a week after work in mid-Somerset and then my weekends are usually spent in Bristol but quite often we'll all get together if something's pre-arranged. I'll PM you my number, give me a shout if you fancy a bash round somewhere. Greg.

In.

Always take care of your posture, but the main thing for me (I'm getting a bit old now) is to warm up. Do some stretching and start off gently and keep having a stretch every now and then. Get your muscles moving before you bang out those explosive moves and you'll be able to ride as much as you like.

Sounds ace. If I can make it, I'll make sure to wear the most awful tie possible.

Great video and great riding Obviously too cool for a lid though

Like it. Neat bodge But something that doesn't mean your frame spacing is forced apart would be great. Essentially, being able to use off-the-shelf parts is the point. Not everyone will be willing, or able, to faff about getting their bike working. I love a bit of bodging, but let's face it, most people just want to ride their bike rather than feck about with it. Hope cams would be rather yummy too Not on mine with its bloody fiddly drop-outs

What would also be nice touch with the Pro2t, would be the option to use the hub with or without snail cams. I.e. removeable spacers which would make the hub compatible with more frame/chain tensioning combinations. I currently run a Pro2t in a frame designed to use snails. I've got it sorted with some chain tugs, but it's not pretty. I'd give my right nut to be able to use snails with my Pro2.

1 bike. Minus frame. Seriously though, it's your bike and your budget. Have a good look through Tarty, they will have everything you need (they even do kits I think). It's the only way you'll learn, being told what to get isn't necessarily condusive to a good build. If you make some effort to narrow your spec down then people will be more inclined to advise you I would have thought.

Those sound like sensible upgrades mate. I'm sure you'll get on well with them.

Good plan. Perhaps if you went for handlebars, pedals and a chainstay protector or something, that would would keep the cost down but still give a balanced look. Anyway, I'll stop spending your money for you now mate. You're lucky to be getting a decent bike, never mind colouring it in with posh bits

Haha, I like the sound of proper lairy colours. Also think about what parts you're going to get though. Say if you got fluoro green rims then found out all the other bits you want are only available in a normal anodised green, it might look a bit mis-matched. Maybe that's a bit fussy, but if you're going to the expense of colour scheming, you might as well research the hell out of it and get it looking perfect. You could blow hundreds on this easily

Red and white would look great. Red anodised parts can look a bit inconsistent though. Sometimes they turn out a bit pinky, but if you're happy with that then no worries, it'll still look smart. Blue or green would also be good. What I'm trying to get at I suppose, is contrast. You're right when you say that you should get the bike first and see what you think. Be patient before lashing your money on loads of bits

'Pffft' outside of trials terminology, do you understand what 'stock' actually means? It is essentially rudimentary gravy. [mumbles] fkin kids and their bickering, try to rise above it... [/mumbles]
