  1. I thought you'd got orange cause I was your hero?!
  2. Had a few new bits so updated the pics, and when the rear wheel is in straight she rides like a dream!
  3. I agree, I like my because simple as it is a very simple frame and I find the geo great. However theres a few niggles like tyre clearance so if when it dies I could get a replacement made with the same geo but better tyre clearance and a tensioning system like the new echos i'd gladly pay £300+ (the because is only £226).
  4. Cum on you slag!!! Will have to get out down shefvegas when shes built up, you get that wheel???
  5. Has it got 4 bolt mounts on the rear or just V mounts cause it sounds like your explaining the evo brake mount for V frames
  6. How do you manage to pogo stick it about so much, it absolutely knackers me out though that could be an age thing! Can't wait to get back up to the glen again, good stuff guys!
  7. I'd put it down to the cams, are they smooth or notched??

    Age!

    I'm there, feels really odd competing against lads 10 years younger than you!
  9. Yeah your right, there's no way they've been scratched off, Jake just used a stanley knife blade to cut the green sections from around the Zoo! logo.
  10. I always find Lucozade Sport does me well for re-energising
  11. The problem you'll be having with turning right is cause your right foot is more to the back of the bike than your left it makes it easier to push the back end round when endoing or bunnyhopping. Turning to the side of your forward foot means you'll be using your body more so the way you need to balance yourself is completely different, just purely a practice thing really if you want to get it nailed.

    I'd be the same if it wasn't for the severe lack of hair up top, wet shave makes me look like a bald 12 year old!

    I thought District 9 was great, probably a good thing going into knowing absolutely nothing about the plot either so everything was a surprise for me. Predators is pretty good, him out of King Kong does a pretty good job as a tough guy mariney type bloke!
  15. Apparently they wanted the top tube to not be as low as most modern frames and to have a seat so the rider could feel something between his legs. Bit weird if you ask me as it ain't gonna be any use for sitting on unless your having a rest!
  16. Just read an article in Trials Magazine about a new London based company who are breaking into the trials scene called Redd Finn. They're currently testing a frame which will be put into production shortly, pretty odd setup really as the test rider they use uses it for his demos he does all over the country and wants it an all rounder so it can handle street, natural and be comfortable hopping on both front and rear wheels. It doesn't say anything about BB height but it does say its 1060, 72 head angle, 385 stays vertical dropouts and wait for it........a seat! They're still making minor adjustments here and there so won't be available for a while though the mag only comes out every 2 months so this could be old news, also runs maggie and disc mounts and the full built frames are gonna be bult mostly with Hope parts. Could be interesting to see when it finally makes an appearance!
  17. I like it, looks like a proper raw street machine. Though the bent top tube and all the tape make it look like it's snapped and only just holding together!!
  18. Write with my right and ride with my left, and something some people find bizarre is I wear my watch on my right as well, don't know why it's weird but some people see it that way

    Watched The Fighter last week, very good film and just shows how good an actor Christian Bale really is.
  20. Your best dealing straight with Apple, like I said earlier my sister in laws phone went crappy when (I assume) the aerial connection got broke whilst having the screen repaired (a common problem apparently). However, when she got to the Apple store in the Trafford centre she could get a perfect signal, so the tech guy said he couldn't really test it if that was the case and just gave her a straight swap. The straight swap phone broke about a week later though when the speaker stopped working so she went back and again they just swapped it there and then. Other than the 1st replacement breaking I can't really fault their service, and the guys in our local O2 shop are a bunch of c***s!
  21. Batman is definately worth getting on Blu Ray, anything with quite frantic action looks good, I've got Death Race as well which turned out well and Wolverine. Any animated film with some good colour should suffice, Up is a great film to watch anyway and I've got to admit I enjoy Finding Nemo. Remember watching that on my 28" flat screen when it first came out on DVD and was blown away by the quality then. And I got the original Transformers on Blu Ray, even a 25 year old animated movie looks pretty crisp! As for Stealth, when that came free with my PS3 I gave it a go and considering I can only ever remember turning off 3 films in my life that got switched off then the disc got destroyed to stop me from ever having to watch it again, awful film, in my opinion anyway.
