Been riding the Meta 6 so much these last few months. Went up Coed y Brenin and Llandegla afew weeks ago and did three full days of riding. Beast has a lot of good single track. Didnt think too much of Llandegla after riding Coed but was still sweet riding the skills area and pump track. Although the new black section is pretty sweet. Got a set of Lyrik coil u-turn insanely cheap, stripped them the other day and gave them new seals, fresh oil and put a light sping in them, well plush. Also got a Gravity Dropper. They look pretty shat with the rubber boot but I've had it on over a month now with no problems. For me, it makes riding the trails so much more fun not having to stop every two mins. Just orded the 4" drop inner post for it so i can slam the seat more. Last update was the Renthal bar and stem. Abit of porn!

I've got a Joplin 3. Anyone interested? £90 posted, brand new with remote. 31.6.

Yeh, Pikes. Not planning on a new fork no, not until I need to. I took the shock off and pushed the rear swing arm up further than it would ever go - chain is fine. If it snaps, which it probably will, Im in the right job to get a fresh one.

My new whip...

I work at Skyline Cycles in Glyncorrwg, we hire Konas from the the Afan shop... take a look here for prices and more info. The Wall and Whites Level are really nice trails, W2 is a mixture of both The Wall and Whites Level. Skyline has afew diversions in place because of felling. Not sure about Penhyd, think that is still shut. Hope that helps.

Shit hot.

Enjoying the Marin at the moment, good fun. Got afew more clips the other day.

Its all good. Shes taking it well up to now. Its some local trails the other side of Barnsley.

Do it! I'm enjoying the Marin. Few clips of me and a mate riding a local spot. Im in the black tee.

My new toy. 09 Wolf Ridge 6.9. I work for a local shop so got it cheap on staff. Nice bike, rides sweet.

Indeed, pivotal all the way.

ZOOT looks absolutely shit hot!

Im sure Joe will post the geos up.

Was just about to post this up. Nice frames they are, its the one I was riding afew months back, ride really nice. Not this time, I was too slow. All down to Joe they are.

Some small changes are being made to the frame, nothing too major. Will update once I know more. Should have some clips of me riding it soon. Thats as soon as I find a cam at the right price.

Thats really good! You're really talented, well done mate. How can I download it? CLS.

Someone asked about the bars. Not the best pics but you can get more of an idea what they are like. Feel very similar to the zoo bars I use to ride. The rise is for sure, just not quite as long, but not too short either. I'm impressed with them.

Don't give a sh*t Lazenby.

Its got abit but not too bad. A bigger booster that is as close to the tyre as poss will get rid of the flex it does does have. Something like on the Ice. I cant remember, a mate gave them to me. G! Forks are from an Onza Master, full build.

Built at long last. Had my garage broken into just before Christmas so didn't have many parts left to build it until this week. Anyway... as been said before geometry is: 1045 , +55 , 375 , 71.5. Measured it today and with the Onza forks Im running it is spot on 1045. It don't weigh much but could weigh alot less with lighter parts. Im not one to worry about weight though. Parts list: onza forks, onza front hub, king rear, echo rims, skf 600 bb, echo cranks, onza vps, echo headset, echo stem, onza bars, onza front pads, tnn rear pads (i think!?), kmc kool, trialtech 18t, trialtech grips. Rides shit hot.

Photos of the frame built will be up sometime this week.

Sounds like the bearings are on the way out.

Unsure on price at the moment, will let you know near the time. As for the disc mounts, they will be staying, it would be silly to get rid of them. It gives people the option and they dont get in the way if they're not being used. Same as the guard mounts, and its not as if both add much weight to the frame. It will be a frame that anyone wanting a long mod can ride - magura or disc, guard or no guard. I want it to be everything you need for the style of trials its made for.
