I really wish I'd bought the 26" full build of this for my daughter when CRC were going through the ringer. Think they got down to about £300 for a full build or £70ish for the frame only! 🙈

Yeah couldn't realistically turn it down, was only 40mins drive to pick it up as well!

Just got back from picking this bargain up, £140 off eBay 😃 Hope Tryall edition front brake, Avid SD5 rear vee with some red pads on cnc backings, Hope stem, seat clamp and some Trialtech high risers. First bike I've been on in years that just feels amazingly comfy, pretty sure these are the same geo as the original mk1 Fourplay (correct me if I'm wrong) which I always wanted but they seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. Very happy boy!

Another new bike tomorrow, blagged a mint 2012 Inspired Element off ebay for £136 cause the seller was concerned the winner was a scammer so gave me a 2nd chance offer at what I bid for it 😅

BB will be too low, would be good for basics like track stands and stuff but I assume you can manage them already

I'm 6'2" and currently ride a 20" (or mod) and I know of other tall riders that do but personally I'd suggest a 26. If your lad is riding at the skatepark might be worth trying to get hold of a more streety 26" bike like an Inspired to give you a few more options of what to ride

Just had a google about RB levers and you had one of those in an 04 and said it was sweet, sure the Echo rim brake levers were very similar. I know the disc brake levers look the same but don't work as they are very slightly different....

One for the oldskool in here, am I right in thinking that Echo rim brake lever blades fit on 04 style maggie lever bodies? Can't remember if I'm getting my wires crossed as it's been that long and I always ran 05 levers in the past when I started riding again!

Centred on the rim is better, one way might catch the tyre, other way might slip off the rim. If the grind is wearing off then needs redoing

If you go for a shit beforehand I reckon you could get 200 👍

Been waiting for the cheeky link to appear 🤣 Banned!

To the North?! 🤣

What did you go for in the end? Never got any info off my lad, he's as forgetful as me 😅

Bit of a random one but chatting to a lad my son works with at True North Cycles and he put me on to some new cheapish sealed flat pedals so I bought a set for my unicycle. Now I always associated Oxford with motorcycle locks and clothing but these are ridiculous, got them for £26 as well! The pins are really grippy and the pedals themselves are nice and big and flat. Think I'm gonna pick up another set for my On One as well if not my Python also, definitely recommend if anyone is on the lookout for new pedals!
