  1. Yeah its just i dont wanna pay nearly £300 for a bike thats no use because im too tall for it hehe. i've just rang my lbs who said im more than welcome to a ride round their workshop on the bike to check im happy with the size so all is well (Y)

  2. I want it to be very comfortable for long distances etc but also usable on jumps. i know low frames are cool on jumps but my main worry was riding 10 miles etc on it, i suppose aslong as the seatpost was long enough to get it high for me it would be ok wouldnt it? like sitting down for ling distances but then dropping the seat for the odd jumps session would be fine by me, im just worried of my legs being cramped sitting down, if you know what i mean :S

  3. I am shortly going to buy a mountain bike. it will be for getting around on and doing jumps etc. The only problem is the one i want they have stopped producing in the larger frame sizes. Im just 6 foot, maybe a little more and the bike i want is 15" frame. Is there a big problem with buying a lower frame and putting the seat really high? I have a mate thats slightly taller than me and he rides a Giant Acid which i do believe are fairly low frames. so yeah, are there any big reasons why i shouldnt go with a 15" frame bike?

    Thanks...

  4. Basically, at the age of 15 im sick of biking miles on my zoo which is very tiring/uncomfortable so im looking at trying to find a way of riding my new xc bike when it comes whilst carrying my zoo somehow. Any ideas on how to do this? i was thinking about a cheap bike bag but didnt know wether it would be a pain to carry on a bike.

    Thanks,

    John :)

  5. Not necessarily i.e. if you do a proper xc ride, going fast up hills and faster on the flat etc. Cycling is more fun too (Y)

    (Y) The riding id be doing has flat and uphill parts aswell as downhill. Im definately looking at a xc bike :)

  6. Right,

    Basically im a fat shit and recently i came to the conclusion that my weight is holding me back both on my motorbike and pushbike. At first i was looking at multi gym's. But later realised i need to lose weight and become really fit rather than getting muscly (sp?). So im looking at the Saracen Mantra 1. Just wondering if it looks good value for money? i like the looks of it, it seems like a nice looking bike and looks like it would be really smooth. Id be using it for riding on roads, gravel tracks, through woods and of course the odd dirt jumping session. Now id like opinions on this bike as well as other bikes around the £300 mark. And the last thing. Does the frame height make any difference to how the bike rides/handles or is the higher frame just for tall people?. If so im over six foot so would the higher frame suit me better?

    Thanks,

    John.

    EDIT.

    Bike

    Full Spec

  7. I Agree. theres a lad just gone onto a 200 beta off a 250 im my center and hes riding much better. Also i and a few others in my area are riding the expert route on 125's, and im 13 stone :( mine pulls me great aslong as i keep it revving. look at alexz wigg etc, that shows you what a 125 is capable of doing. if you ask me a 200 is a perfect clubman bike. (Y)

  8. cheers. he did ask me wether i wanted it striked or not, i chose not to so the person could get it straight cash. so all i need to do is fill in his name where it says pay?

    also i did get the recipt thing yeah (Y)

  9. Right,

    I've bought something on ebay and am paying by a postal order. So i went to the post office, said how much etc and he gave me the slip marked with how much i need to pay. I know that i need to put it in a envelope and send it away but dont know what i need to fill in first. I guess where it says pay i put his name, but is that all or do i put my name etc somewhere?

    also, on the back theres a dodgy gift aid thing. do i just leave this blank? please help QUICK!!! (Y)

  10. Right. Recently i've been looking at front hooks. Basically i cany bunnyhop for shit and i was wondering if you can pedal into hooks?like pedal gap to the hook position. is this kool? Thanks
