    Tried all the standard tricks? I cut one quote by 40% just by adding my parents as named drivers. Doesn't matter that they live 40 miles away and would never drive it, apparently that lowers my risk of crashing.

    It's going to be expensive whatever I do, my mum won't stop going on a bout getting a scooter, never would I even dream of that!

    House got broken into last night. C*nts!

    Sorry to hear that matey.

    edit - looking at it now, its going to be about £3000 cheaper if I drive a scooter for a year, then go onto a car...hmmm, opinions?

    I have just realized I have been doing all of my car insurance checks with my licence as full UK Provisional. Just did another with a full UK Manual licence and I can honestly say I am screwed. Cheapest looking around £5000. May well be better going on one of my parents' insurance and make it cheaper and pay them the difference.

    So I got a whole bunch of new parts and it is basically a brand new bike.
    Spec at the minute-
    Onza Comp Frame
    Trialtech Disc Only
    Hope Bulb Hub
    Try-All Rim
    Kenda Tube
    Kenda 8 Block
    Echo TR Disc Hub
    Echo TR Rim
    Kenda DH Tube
    Maxxis Crawler
    Trialtech High Rise
    Trialtech 165*35
    Trialtech Skinnies
    FSA Orbit Equipe Headset
    Trialtech 20mm Spacers
    Onza ISIS BB
    Echo TR Cranks
    Wellgo Magnesium Pedals
    Echo TR/SL 108
    Echo Urban Ring
    It's at the kind of stage where I am happy with the spec, only need to spray my front wheel, or raw my rear?
    More pictures when i'm at home when it is day light.
    Haven't ridden it yet, but I bet it will ride like a dream!

    *Bump*

    All has arrived well, and I guess if I ordered before Christmas/New Year, it would have been alot faster.

    Now any advice to bed in a TR/SL 108 ECHO freewheel?

    Hi i have bought a lot of stuff of them they are legit, I got my new cranks of him that come today (Sheldon Walker) is on facebook here http://www.facebook.com/sheldon.walker.397?fref=ts

    They have a lot more stuff in stock than they have on the site if there something you want half the time he can get it in for you, the postage it pretty good to i got 2 echo lite one 2012 an one 2013 one both for £280 + £20 postage :D but when i got them i got a import tax fee of £40 and they had been bashed about a bit in the post and one had a small dent in, got back in touch with he and he gave me a £100 back to cover the fee and damages :D

    He packs then up a lot more now to

    Hope this helps

    interested to see how this pans out if you buy some cranks, prices are cheap! and its the only place i can find with the cranks i want. shame he makes no mention of postage costs on the site, would like to know how much he gives you as a quote for shipping for a set of cranks :)

    Let me know too, Prices are dead cheap :D

    Brilliant! Thank you for showing me this :) I know where I'll be getting my next bike from now.

    gunna bump this, how did it go? everything turn up as it was supposed to?

    Was going to post im here yesterday, got side tracked.

    He said he would post it on the 24th, then 5-8 days takes us to say the 1st, add Christmas and New Year and it should take longer, I have sent him a message asking if he posted it (8 am on Friday) Still nothing back from him... Yet (fingers crossed)!

    He hasn't gotten back to me yet, and I can only presume it is taking longer because of Christmas/New Year.

    Put it this way, if you always end up ordering around weekends and holidays, wait. Also if you are impatient and don't like ordering with new people, don't aha.

    I hope everything is okay and it is just taking long.

    [edit] Just got back to me now, he has posted them, and it's just a waiting game now.

    As good as the riding was I had to mute it after about 10 seconds of watching it, dual magura's with a good grind and good pads is one death defying sound, add a GoPro to the situation and it rings like hundreds of baby's crying, screaming and tearing up the inside of my head.

    But other than that the riding was spot on!

    Tensile 60's are very reliable, hardly have to do anything with them, other than bed them in, I would go for the 96 version purely because of the higher EP.

    I have just bought an Echo SL, currently in the post, I hope haha. I hope I don't have the same experience and if the spanner hits the fan I will immediately go for a Tensile 96.

    Forks, bars, grips, headset, PINK T-SHIRT all arrived today, Thanks Tarty.

    Made a homemade headset tool, worked perfectly, fitted a long awaited ISIS BB.

    Front end looks ridiculously nice, now need to wait for cranks, bash, freewheel and pedals to arrive, hopefully tomorrow, if not another day.

    Party tonight too! Need to go on a ride once my bike is 'complete'.

    Change that signature!

    I have to agree with everyone else though, looks very clutterfull, purely because of the stickers and the graphics on the frame, cheesy 10 year old flames, haha.

    I also think its weighty because of the front wheel, rear rim, cranks and possibly tubes, depending on what you have.

    Looks good though.
