check ebay and try to get some shimano dx calipers, they are SUPER stiff, not as good bushings as an avid ultimate (as they are on bearings) so there is a bit of wobble, but the stiffness more than makes up for it. I prefer avid levers due to the speed dial adjuster, but many people just run levers on the furthest out setting (for stiffer lever feel) in that case shimano levers are fine, just choose one depending on your budget nokon cable are good (super stiff) but I dont think the price justifies them, I tried Adam Reads old vee and that was the best brake I have ever felt, that just had bog standard cable if I am correct.

lol, I dont get called a kid often these days, what with having a beard and all!

I would be running a vee but I think martyn would prefer me using a maggie due to sponsor issues. I did have a vee for a short while on my ashton, it was pretty dam good, however it was on a 48mm wide echo rim which pushed the brake out loads, so they wern't in the best position, I recken on my dx31 they would be amazing!

a bit still needs modding to be able to take a proper seat and post

lovley! proper stealth, non of this multi colour annodised or flouresent shnit! I have had goes on Adam Reads Kot and I loved it, the rear disk was incredible! I really like the site too! really fancy. I was kinda hoping you wouldnt be wanting your leeson now, I really want it!!

going in my own car this time!! I have been replaced by Iolos girly friend

I hate that presenter, wassis name...jhonathan ross........such a dick.

needs a seat, I recken you let either me or iolo make it compatable like I said I want a 24" virsion of that bike

I may take up that offer, or at least sleap int car if its ok

dont like it, they have ruined it by making the bb so high, it kinda looks like a bar with wheels rather than a bike.

nothing wrong with double diamond and a seat in fact, its one of the strongest shapes a frame can be made (and the best looking )

I would much rather have that than all these long low silver frames, mmmmm its sooo nice (gets on the phone to martyn )

I thought the frame alone looked nice, but OH MY!!! that has to be the nicest looking bike ever! nice one guys

sorry Chris, I feel really bad now I really should have asked for permission, I have taken some out. Hope your not too angry

23psi front and rear

wasnt that a spring to preload the bearing in the new easton wheels?

lol, I aint too bothered, means more time for riding I only went to school for two years, never really got along with anyone there so I dont think meeting up with old class mates would work Also I hate going to pubs, nightclubs etc, I dont drink, I hate the smoky atmosphere and I hate all the dicks and chavs that are in there. I'll just carry on waiting for some random beautiful girl to walk into my house and fall in love with me

cheers guys, bit of a shame they aint in order, but I really cant be bothered to sort it.

I was just looking through some pics and I realised they have never been shown, so I thought you guys might be interested. I am putting good and crap pics up.
