  1. I actually find that to be a positive, given that a lot of dj bikes have quite slack headangles putting a shorter rigid on can do wonders for handling - however not so good if you want a high bb.
  2. I ride a dirt/street frame like you describe and find the weight of an overbuilt steel frame/forks to be a bit of an issue, aswell as BB height being too low makes all the core trials move a lot harder to get right. However it is great on two wheels, and I wouldn't have an issue taking it jumping/general riding if I raised the gear ratio.
  3. Nasty stuff, your not taking creatine too are you? can cause blood clots. Regarding the original arm pump problem, sounds like tendinitis to me, in which case you are way overdoing it.
  4. More importantly your old marzocchis have soul.

  6. Like I said about pointing the stolen stick, all the suspicion we have is worth nothing without proof, so until someone reports THIS bicycle as stolen there is nothing you can do.
  7. Kind of like the don't look behind the curtain scene in the wizard of oz!
  8. I assure you muel, I am reading reading your post on the bottom left screen.
  9. Its not about looking at 8 screens at once, its about not having to rearrange workspace to see everything, when doing web design a typical usage might be; Chrome - google for problem solving, A pdf explaining whatever, test server settings, testing web browser, html code, file directory, php code, more php code, There we go, eight screens and eight things that might fill them at any one time, seamless switching from one to the other. And more still that could be added to the list.
  10. I think people point the stolen stick at ebay bikes far too often, forgetting that there genuinely stupid/lazy/unknowledgeable people out there.
  11. Where else but ebay, they are old but so far I've found the only real issue with aging monitors is brightness - the older they get the dimmer they become but I prefer dim monitors as it makes coding a little easier on the eyes. I'm not sure how great an idea it was to buy them used economically though given £100 would buy me a new monitor, but 8*£35 is a manageable, 8*£100 is certainly not. 1400 by 900 @ 17" isn't too bad, but yeah still budget monitors.
  12. Finding the cursor is never too big a deal, quick waggle of the mouse and its easy to spot. Though plenty of friends can't grasp this! One good jerk of the mouse gets the cursor across the width of it too. It only takes two cards to run it all, nvidia quadro 440s iirc, very low power card so hd video is about the limit of its ability - forget about games! all the monitors are cheap vga ones so I don't have the option of running better cards unless I replace the whole eight monitors, something that keeps creeping into my mind - imagine eight 24" monitors, I'd have to buy a second desk so I could sit further back to get it all in view. Unfortunately I can't get combat flight simulator to run multi-screen, that'd be awesome. I know its not necessary to have all of them, but its just glorious to be able to see absolutely everything relevant to the task at hand all at once, and have those things surround you. As for expense, 8*£35 for the monitors, 2*£40 for the cards, 2*£65 for the stands. I can't help but think if I invite a lady friend over it might come over so well as it is with you guys.
  13. They used to be all the same but one died, having the different one does irk me a bit when it comes using it for productive means, but a 20" screen is a lot better for tv/films than the 17" screen it replaced so I cope with it.
  14. Six, might be manageable. Four would definitely now be too few though. I have yet to use all eight simultaneously but when I get back to web design in the summer I imagine I will.
