  1. Cheers guys,picked up a small canvas today, so will have a bash at it and let you know what they turn out like. With regards to people asking about various colours/pics etc, just let me know what you want and i'll do it.
  2. Right then, time to put my artistic talents to some use Main thing i'm trying to find out is if i was to do something like this would people want them? I think for a start, i'd be offering the simple shades of grayscale images, the kind you see of michael caine and john travolta from the italian job and pulp fiction. I could do the image of anyone you wanted and it would be painted onto a stretched canvas using acrylics (i prefer them to oil). Now i know these are of tunni, but they could be anything, could be yourself, an image you like etc etc. It would probably be polite to ask permission if its someone elses photo though. An a4 canvas costs around £3 so i wouldn't want to make the actual painting much more expensive than that. Maybe around the £10-15 mark. Obviously different size canvas's cost more so you'd have to ask and i'd let you know roughly how much. Heres one i did earlier: Original: Painting (obviously): More examples of work here Okay, quite a bit of interest in these. Enough for me to go ahead and start taking orders for them anyway. Send me a pm with a photo of your choice, tell me what style/colour scheme you want and how big (dimension wise A4,A3 etc) and i'll get back to you with a price estimate and time estimate. My msn address is krisboats@hotmail.com, email me pictures, PM me them or just talk it through with me over msn, i dont mind.
  3. You don't know the half of it
  4. CRC don't sell them . Plus, DT are better
  5. When the bikes in the comfiest back wheel position my levers are horizontal with the ground
  6. With 4,500 odd songs mine now crashes and gives me the old "this program has encountered an error and needs to close" milarky when i do that
  7. Anyone know the spoke length i need for an echo 07 rim on a pro2? Got the choice out of these, probably gonna go with DT spokes but the question is... DB or plainguage? Would like to order them tomorrow or wednesday so no great hurry for this evening.
  8. Nobody notice my post? Maybe i should have said i rang them and thats what they said... thought it was obvious that that the webpage didn't have a conversation about them with me :$
  9. Sorry for being so inconsiderate. My post wasn't aimed at you if thats of any relevance... it was just voicing my opinion on the whole "whether it counts or not" discussion. Congrats for jumping that high, i know i can't do it, probably won't ever be able to either
  10. I dont like going to bash, on anything... however if its a rock section i might give it a try. So i'd say uci for myself.
  11. Yep, he's right. When i checked about a month ago crc had the 07 ones in all colours except gold (i think). PLus they don't have tartybikes etched in them so you'll get more for them on ebay.
  12. And this ladies and gentlemen of the forum, is enough to get someone suspended. Brutal dictatorship and abuse of power ***!!!
  13. Definately do that. All the small guys will say 16:14 is great on a stock.... but us big heavy f**kers need the extra torque Looks sweet man, i'm actually wanting to consider getting a new frame now
  14. An hour ? 10-15 minutes will be more than sufficient, and it actually recommends 15 minutes
  15. That was alright, nice varied riding and pretty good level of riding too .
  16. Its a german company it won't show up in uk only websites n00bs these days
  17. Thats the main distributor. Ring them, and they tell you all the places that they send it off too... including chainreaction.
  18. From what i've heard about these try-all freewheels they aren't very good at all. Someone i know has been getting through them quite quickly, and i've been told that their good while they work, but as soon as they start to mess up, they've had it.... which has currently been after around 3 months use.
  19. Use longer grips? Besides, most people don't actually use them if they run gears, thumbshift changers are much more common.
  20. I can't believe you've all said nothing but bad things about these brakes and that "their not worth the money" (debatable anyway) despite the fact none of you have used them. Did you even look at the other topic and read what people WHO HAVE ACTUALLY USED THEM have said about them? You obviously don't know much about brakes (based on not knowing vee's could be better than a hs33) so why jump to conclusions? Its like the lypton ice tea advert..... don't knock it till you try it.
  21. One google search of "NC-17 tensioner" and 2 mouse clicks later, and i was greeted with this page. Did you even look for yourself?
  22. Either drink some prune juice, or go buy some laxatives. They're cheap and available at places like boots, superdrug, asda, sainsbury's, tesco etc etc. Or, for novelty value... get a tub of grease... and lube yourself up.
  23. Have you tried cutting the existing olive off and fitting a new one?
