Weather here has been pretty hit n miss all day, i just been on a jog and its sunny as ever, but its been raining most of the day. So they may be ok riding now.

count me out, i think shipleys gonna be worse.

well i doubt there will be much flooding in the centre, but it may limit some people getting there. I dont think im going, i have the luxury of deciding on the day, as the centre is only a short ride away! Al

How much would a camera like that set you back?

That was awesome, the quality was superb and made you appretiate the riding a lot more! well worth the lengthy download wait. Worked in Windows media for me. Well worth the download, best TRA i have ever seen Al

so how did it ride?

Really good vid! Your improving loads. Al

You can say the same thing about any sport, "your given all that field, and you kick a football around it" Its just a matter of opinion in the end, everyones different. Al

How good do you think he is? I bet hes actually amazing.

How tall are you? Because you've only got the option of a wheelbase of 1085 with the GU, whereas the Czar obvisouly comes in short aswell which is 1075. Also a differance in both of the frames are the Bottom bracket rise, that will affect riding. The BB rise on the GU is a lot higher (60mm) than the Czar (35mm). I know this doesnt help but looks wise id go for the GU, but riding wise i would go for the Czar. Al

Foam grips are amazing, i had ODI ruffians before i got my Foam ones (don't ask me what they are called). They are actually the sex, they feel so comfortable on my hands, and are such a relief to previous grips! I also find them to be a lot better in summer, as they hold better, though every grip has a point where it becomes too sweaty. Also foam grips wear down a lot quicker than normal ones. Al PS i just turned 18!!!!!

Not so sure about the frame myself, looks kinda weak though im sure its not. Al

Really like the BT, like how simple the paint is, yet it looks pretty sleek. Basic, yet attractive Al

Just looked at you bike, its really nice. Not as pink as mine though! and you need some pink Gusset grips to make that bike nicer!

Really like that video, can see a massive improvment since your first one. Have to ride with you in leeds sometime, as i dont know many of the riders. Al

Great pics, i wish shipley was as good as these places, not that im any good or like natural much!

Toxsin 1

Yeah ive been meaning to look into that for like half a year, though i dont know how much longer i am going to have it for, so whats the point.

I know i already have a topic open, but i thought id treat you guys by opening a new one, showing my current bike! Giant frame Tensiles Avid on front with XTR lever Maggie on back Cannondale Fatty forks Rear Wheel: Profile on Hog Front: Hope XC on EX721 I cant remember the name of the grips, but they are actually the sex, great in summer aswell so they dont get as sweaty! Anyway tell me what you think, its only a temporary frame till i get a new one, but it rides really well. Al

Yeah i really liked that video, but think it would have been better with music. Al

Here is a pic of me riding it, god i miss it Al

As the title says, anyone up for it? Meet at granite walls 10am, i know the big ride is the weekend after which i will be going to aswell. Al

I just thought I would post up a picture of my old beauty, as when I was riding it I wasnt vailidated, so i never got the chance really. Tell me what you think? You either love it or you hate it! Sorry about the quality, was taken on a phone. I have since moved on to a Zebdi, which snapped at the BB (again), and now and old Giant! Al

That is by far the nicest Leeson i have ever seen, still doesnt beat the pink Toxsin i used to have paint wise.

haha id give us 10 minutes max at each place before we get moved on, and as the day goes on the time gets shorter! I think im gonna go a bit earlier with my mate as we usually park just next to the playhouse, so may ride there for a bit first before joining the party. Al
