Fantastic build. Have always wanted one, all it needs is a playing card in the spokes with that moto seat... Wouldn't have any trouble drawing up the graphics if you need them. Can't do much about printing but that's only half the job.

Has science gone too far?

Favorite trick... loosen the pinch bolts on the stem/steerer junction enough that it's breifly rideable but any attempt to turn results in crashing. Best on a brakeless bike. Leave in sketchy area and sit with a good view. Film for best results

As street bike should be more or less fine for pure really. If anything more comfortable. Maybe $600 on the Zoo

That's either an Echo or a Rockman from the looks of it, not actually a custom frame The local echo/zoo is dual maggie and nearly costs more than retail, I'd certainly choose new over it but there are indeed better options used If you haven't ridden a modern trials bike a Koxx-esque bike could just be painful and easily damaged What riding background do you come from and what sort of riding do you want to do So looks like you've already got a street bike, what do/don't you like about it And why are you opposed to a mod? If you're under the impression they're for shorter people that's simply wrong

any one of the ones on pinkbike i linked are better than anything i've seen mentioned so far

JN What are you doing have either of you looked at pinkbike? http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1270092/ http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1716148/ http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1707965/ http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1720798/ http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1667939/ http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1698428/

Upload elsewhere (or even on here as long as you insert it as such) and insert as an image them rather than attaching them.

£90? Are you rich or something? Here's my free road bike kidding of course... I bought it when it had a HED carbon disc on the rear and custom 24" HED on the front... sold and replaced the wheels for more than I paid for the bike!

finally got it up and riding.. maybe not the prettiest thing but

ozonys curve, neon bow, monty kamel, a RCP steel mod

the fella's got a proper dh kit and setup going for him... I doubt foul play

Hah, any time I get asked how much my bike is I just say 'Just a hundred or two, as much as any bike.' Probably help that my bike is raw and brakeless no less, but my bud's "It's around 3 grand" Koxx is the one that's gonna get knicked! If I had to guess these fellas are just going to scrap the bike at this point, though I've seen equally unique and even more expensive bikes get taken and never seen again..

I'm mainly a Unix-like user and just run Adobe stuff virtualized or under Wine anyways... I personally feel like the OSX workflow is pretty archaic though, and it makes a habit of taking over stuff to make it 'easier.' I suppose it's better than Windows 8 at this point but that's not saying much. I've actually been looking for a new laptop as well. Main considerations have been the (15") ThinkPad W540 (2880x1620) and Dell XPS15 (3200 x 1800), but been looking at the (13") Aspire S7 (2560 x 1440) and Samsung Ativ 9+ (3200 x 1800). Preference is probably more towards 15" and I think most of these save for the Samsung which I don't know too much about will support GNU/Linux fairly well.... although I'd be buying used for any of these

I fancy the new dell XPS's screen. I don't really get the allure of Macs for graphic design though, as a freelance web and graphic designer... especially when they don't have a proper graphics unit. I'd build a desktop for sure and just use whatever you've got when you when you need to be mobile.
