    My Bike

    ha ha only just see this on my profile.my girlfriend done it one night when i fell asleep on sofa but never told me and i just found it shes so random
  2. does anybody know if they still make these frames?i want one as a winter build up project with all new bits to get me through the horrid winter evenings
  3. ha ha look at you go gimp.good vid as always.woof woof woof.how did you prepar yourself for this video then?gym,running healthy eating (you had to be there at the time) was all that done in felixtowe recognise most of it?
  4. this happens to my gf loads when she buying toys for my little boy.she wins them for like a quid or so,so she pays for them straight away and then recieves a message saying sorry item already sold.yeh right of course it is.why put a 99p starting price if your not prepared to sell it for that amount.its so annoying as there brand new toys and they could easy put a starting price alot higher
  5. hes got the echo tr's not sl's
  6. um yeah joe papasnap mayer on here does he lives in southend aswell i believe
  7. oh my god,rite im keeping an eye on that,i had a cream one before the blue one.the cream one cracked at the headtube so i sent it back with the forks and asked if i could have blue and they sent forks aswell.thats good costomer service.
  8. havent seen that vid in ages,there still a ryan leech norco in mint con with racelines and raceface gear gong round my town aswell.
  9. haha yeh,i sold it years ago few local people have owned it still in good nick aswell,i have been asking my mate to contact the current owner which he never did for ages as i wanted it back.then he came in shop other week and said he sold it the week before to some idiot for 100 bucks with forks.i was gutted wanted it so bad i would of gave 200 just to have it again plus i still got all the original paperwork at my dads.sad times
  10. he could be wearing a monkey suite and still recognise him,his styl and riding is totally unique.absolutely the best around for all the years hes been riding.always impressive even this old vid to his new ones.a true legend.
  11. just got a new job,well happy.

  12. there good solid cranks,i had them on my stock for 6months,then when i built up my 20 i got another set theyve been on there 8months and no problems at all.realy rate them,there lite and look the nutz. like calops said you can run a bash and freewheel,im running the trialtech titanium with sl freewheel and theres just enough threads.
  13. ah cool thanks alot think i might do mine now as all my parts other than cranks and brakes are black so would look nice. did the finish come out tough?any satin laquer on that beast? oh and was it originaly gold or the grey?sorry if its question time
  14. oh my god that bike is absolutely gorgeous i always wanted one so much daddy would only stretch to a pashley that month many moons ago . really miss the days of proper trials bikes they were just the best.
  15. that looks well ream makes me want to do my 320 now.what you use to get the graphics off?did you nitomorse the hole frame or just give it a rub down?
  16. id definatly change the forks i had some and they were so flexy compared to trialtechs. i did have the stickt lites with carbin bars which made my bike alot lighter but just didnt like the feel of it way to light especialy after riding the road bike it also made the bike feel way to light especially with the diference in gearing i just didnt like it so went back to creepy crawlers and much prefer it now.
  17. i think the weight of a bike is important in terms of liteness if your not very big built or strong so it def makes things alot easier, my limey 320 is about 8.5kg so not a bad weight i could quite easily get it sub 8kg but i weigh 14 stone,im not fat by any means 5.8tall but work out and ride a road bike so iv got big legs and solid so doesnt realy affect me. youve also got to consider what type of riding your doing id say 9kg for a tgs street bike is light but strong but a comp bike wants to be a good kg under that where weight is more important than strength. its all personal preference realy i guess.
  18. really wants a racoon!

      oh and maybe a squirrel aswell

  19. got to put a pace cnc stem on it with some azonic risers.wouldnt look the same with anything else.
  20. im running a connex(wipperman) ir8 chain its got huge breaking load stronger than the gusset tank chain so def worth a look,its bit heavy but its never going to break and looks realy cool.or go for the kmc 510hx still a very good chain or the kmc kool both are a well trusted chain.ive just got a phobia on snapping chains that why i went for the connex
  21. ah cool thought it was just recognised his style.and god onza arent going to have any riders left soon at this rate.
  22. nice vid,who was that riding the 26 impulse?looks like andrea burton i may completely wrong though as the vid quality is pants on my laptop.
  23. from working in a bike shop this annoys me as we get the new bmx dealer catalogues in saying new for wheneva and there just re branded parts ,and look new just in for 2011,oh there the same as lastyear just in different colours and with a price increase.i personally think the bmx market is a huge mug off.
  24. yeh i do and i was well cool
