6 month thread bump? nice! Ben

Seems to me that buxton must also be stuck in 1998? haha. Ben

Had a brilliant little ride on my own tonight. Haven't been riding again long, but am already riding better than I used to. Did some really nice gaps I'd never of done back in the day! Granted I weigh about 5st less than I used to which probably helps! Really happy right now. Ben

had a good day with the missus, my dad and my little brother. Also Dad hooked me up with a new laptop which was a bit of a touch! Ben

Christ! The same in chelmsford would probably not see me much change from 750-800! Paying 400 for a reasonable size double room atm. Ben

The day I can afford a decent set of disc brakes for my bike will also be a glorious day! Seriously no confidence in them. BEn

Slipped off the pedal and stuffed my knee into the wall. Its a bit sore! On the plus side I made it up a wall I've never done before . BEn

Missus tore me a new one for going out last night and being late home.... Apparently not checking in every 2 minutes makes me an arsehole? Wtf? Sod it, I'm going riding! BEn

Work is closed tomorrow, so day off. Also out for a mates bday tonight Ben

Got a stinking headache and am pretty bummed about my grandad dying yesterday so am treating myself to a pizza and chilling out with movies night. Also just picked up some new vans for £20 . Ben

I still ache! I wanna ride later! Ben

Edited.

Had my first ride in over 2 years yesterday. f**k me do I ache this morning! Ben

Would you recommend a marino for a custom frame or should I go to a different company? What are your unbiased views Familybiker? Ben

Had my first little ride on it today, apart from wonky brake rotors I love it! Sits on the back wheel like a dream. Amazing how unfit I have become though lol.

1st little session on my bike after many years out and am comfortably backwheeling a wall I used to ride. Makes me pretty happy. BEn

Woke up and there is a trials bike sitting at the end of my bed. Makes me quite happy, makes the missus angry (takes up room, why is it not in garden etc) which makes me chuckle. Can't wait to get some new rotors for it so I can ride!

Nah mine either. Probs gonna give it a spray up some time in the future.

After a fair few years out of riding I finally got a new bike! Not bad for £95. Gotta sort a few bits out but pretty happy!

Just looked, collection only and a 80 quid train ticket . I'll stick with me onza

Bollocks wish I had seen that! Just picked up a onza pro for £100!

Just bought a 2010 onza pro for £100. Pretty happy right now, haven't had a bike for years! Ben

Missed out on on a seriously cheap t-pro on eBay. Was really excited about getting back into trials and found something I could actually afford. Now back to hunting .

Who's grace? Ben

I know how you feel mate. Haven't had a bike for years and am constantly reminiscing about rides in london until the last train home, drinking beers in reading bus station and falling off of some foreign dudes bike (brakes other way round). Being a grown up isn't as fun as it looked when I was younger! Ben
