Been using mt5 since April 2016. Not broken once, they have taken some knocks but not many, pad clearance is shit, modulation is shit, but they just seem to work. And the power is really good. I wouldn't run mt7 they literally fall apart.

Do Shimano use a better grade material for the Saint vs the Zee? Because other than some very minimal things I think of why else the price difference is so much.
I read that zee is made in a different factory so costs less to produce but is exactly the same.

hmm I was thinking that but I didn't know whether to get a stem same length but higher. I don't think there's much height difference in the trialtechs and arcade bars...
Not much difference but they put your hands in a much nicer position, and as said 90x35 or 80x40 stem.

Very nice, I'd change the seat but that's just being picky. I really liked my zoot.

I like da bomb tactics, ran them for ages, I think my last pair bent slightly, I trust them not to snap
Arcades are excellent and seem really strong.
I have no idea on the tms bars but they are the highest rise of the lot.
I'd personally say inspired.

I like London also I just thought a middle ground may attract more riders.

Manchester and Salford quays gets my vote but then I am lazy and Salford quays is only 5 minutes from my house
Could also do Lee Quarry (if that's what Dman was suggesting above?).
I meant street one day and anyone wanting to make a weekend of it, we could do Lee mill or Shipley Glen the next day. I have a van and could transport 4 other riders to a location if needed.

I'm keen but Manchester is a fair jaunt for me in Cornwall
It's a mission but if you like riding and want to get involved it's not far really. Only like me going to radical bikes.

I'm not sure on London.

Sounds good guys.
If it is manchester, there's also Salford quays not too far away.

Needs a bit of thought on location.

Cool, yes I'm up for suggestions. Blackpool or Cleveleys? Or both in a day?
It's all up for discussion.
If there's any beefs between people groups or seats, let's settle them and get together and throw bikes at walls in harmony.

I think this summer is the time to get a big street ride going, can we try make it one of the biggest ever? Let's see.
Everyone is welcome.
No dates or locations yet but I'm based In Manchester and it's quite central in the UK so might be a good area. I'm open to suggestions.
I'm just testing the water with this post, if enough people fancy it let's make it happen.
Dust off the old bikes, buy one just for this if you haven't got one.
Comment away.
