  1. Grass. George discovered grass. On the other hand I move house shortly and will have a big floodlit barn at the end of the garden which will possibly sway me into buying another bike and making an indoor setup
  2. I think it's probably something to do with the fact isitafox was a jobs worth when he was put on the moderator team and banned every f**ker!
  3. His Names Gaz? Anyone know of him, is he on the forum?
  4. No TartyBikes advent calender this year? I'm so upset. :'(

  5. The Clunk seems to be coming from right below my feet. The steering seems fine other than this clunk. It only appears while the car is started, cant hear the clunk from outside but i think that's due to engine noise. It seems to have came on suddenly but it did hit a pothole the otherday so that could have caused it, and the steering does feel notchy. I've checked the PS Fluid and thats fine and i've had a look under the bonnet and the only thing i've noticed is a noisy belt. I Googled it but can only find things for older cars saying it could be the ball joints/ suspension but this seems unlikely on a pretty new car unless the mentioned pothole has caused damage.
  6. Just wondering if anyone could help me out. Got into my car this morning and while pulling off my drive way I noticed a clunk in my steering. I stopped the car and turned the wheel from left the right a few times and noticed as the wheel gets past the central point I can hear a clunk noise and can feel it in my feet. Car is a 2013 Mercedes C Class is that helps. Cheers.
  7. Peel the layer from that tarty days sticker. It's a vinyl transfer.
  8. Heroin. Definitely heroin.
  9. The grounds that echo can't even make a set of forks out of aluminium that last longer than 30 seconds never mind carbon.
  10. Those forks look like a recipe for disaster!
  11. Frame looks very nice! Graphics are cool! Colour looks great, the choice of geometry is really good and the attention to detail is second to none! Any plans for a 24" frame yet?
  12. Looking good! Don't suppose this is the same Paddy Shepherd from Billingham is it?

    It's just one big headache. I've taken the 'do f**k all' route about it. I've offered his money once and now I'm not prepared to give him anything. I would just like to know who people think the court will be in favor of?

    There's nothing to say he hasn't peeled the sticker back and ground it then stuck the sticker back and then scraped it off. To be perfectly honest when I saw the photo I would have said it was already done before I got the bike, but the guy checked the number before taking the bike and said they were there.

    This is what I received, the close up photo shows clearly where a logo was!

    This might be a little bit of a long shot, but I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could give me a little point in the right direction before I shell out to a solicitor. Any way here's the scenario I'm in. About 2/3 months ago I had my Inspired Fourplay up for sale on a Facebook trials group. I had a little bit of interest in the bike but nobody was offering the money I'd have liked for the bike. I was approached buy a guy via direct message asking if I'd consider swapping my bike for a 1997 Montesa Cota Motorcycle. The guy seemed genuine and knew a lot about the bike and agreed to meet me at Weatherby Service Station on the A1 which was about an hours drive from both of us. When I got to the meeting point I had a chat with the guy who told me he'd had the bike for a number of months and came by it after doing some electrical work for his friend, he basically said his friend didn't have the cash after the job was complete and instead give him to motorbike to settle the debt. I was a bit dubious about this but the guy seemed really genuine and knew his stuff so I went ahead and did the swap. The motorbike was great and ran spot on and I'd used it up until last week when I had to put it up for sale as I'm saving for a deposit for my first house. Again it was up forsale on the same Facebook page as the inspired and a guy who owns a motorbike shop in Yorkshire messaged me saying he was in the area buying a bike and would like to buy my bike. We agreed a fee of £900 and the next day he turned up as agreed, he checked the bike over and had a ride around the estate and came bike complementing how great the bike was for its age, he checked the bike again and looked for the frame number and informed me he needed that for his records. The frame number was covered by a piece of red vinyl sticker when I got it for which I presume to be just for aesthetic purposes as there was no number board on the bike when I got it. The guy pushed against the sticker and said he could see the frame number was there and went on to sign a receipt and load the bike into his van. He parted with his cash and drove away. 7 hours later the guy called me while I was out having a family meal screaming down the phone that is sold him a stolen bike and saying that I'd ground the frame number off, and demanded that I give him his £900 back immediately or he would call the police. I was in quite of bit of shock and said to the guy I will pay you a full refund but it would be on my Credit Card the resin being if It was a stolen bike I could claim for my money through my credit card insurance. The guy was very rude and refused the money and said I was to pay him cash and pay him a days wage as well as fuel money for him to deliver the bike back to me. My mother wanted to speak with the guy as he was screaming down the phone and to be perfectly honest I couldn't get a word in sideways. My mother tried to talk a bit of sense into him and educated him on how I'd came by the bike and that he was to phone the police and report that he thought the bike was stolen to which he replied you have a family discussion and I'll call back. Anyway I spoke to my family about what had happened and they all said not to give him the cash back as he could have ground the numbers off himself which I also believe could have happened and he was happy that the numbers were there before taking the bike. Anyway a letter arrived a couple of days after saying I have 14 days to pay him the money back in cash or he would take me to the small claims court. I just want to know where either of us stands. I have all the messages and photos from the guy I got the bike from as well as a phone number if that makes any difference. All help appreciated.

    Where did you get the rim stickers
  19. I live in Middlesbrough and I have a few mates that live on Redcar and Saltburn. We're not a million miles from Whitby.
  20. From past experience: Echo TR: Decent bite but not very good hold, calliper and lever both started leaking and the lever feels horrible. Magura Louise: Not overly keen on the lever but they work okay. to be honest I'd go for anything Shimano over either of the above. Deores are about £30 brand new and work very good! SLX are a bit more expensive at around £80 but they work amazing! Saints are a lot more expensive but should be able to get a second hand one for about £80 and you'll never use another brake again!
  21. I'm fairly sure most people haven't read the question properly, if we're talking about this millennium surely that's after 2000? In this case the biggest innovations would have to be: new softer tyre compounds, higher BBs and longer/steeper stems, rear facing magura mounts, use of carbon components, the lack of seat and highrise bars. For comparison: 2000 Orange Zero 2015 Rockman Gabbro
