  1. Yeah, with second hand parts it would be cheaper of course. Not sure, it was a very popular frame but Onza don't supply it any more.
  2. Really? I would like to see the spec if you have it, we always try to get our customs bikes down to the best price for the parts. The Comp frame is discontinued, so the bike will be removed from the site shortly anyway, but interested to see how you could do a better spec for less money so we could perhaps do a build on the next model of that frame
  3. For BBs, this isn't usually the case. Take them out and measure them, I think the ones we stock will fit. Notchy bearings is usually the sign of a problem elsewhere - knackered crank splines, BB shell needs facing, etc.

    Rubbish I doubt they'll end up this far North, but I'll keep my eye out dude!
  5. Completely different batch. We'll probably never know exactly why mind you.
  6. Phil Williams - Judd Trump? Or mainly the hair...?
  7. No, but my point is that to get that brake working again, you'll need to spend at least £35 and a fair bit of time bleeding it yourself anyway. Might as well send it off for the service. Guess you would need the £20 rotor PLUS the £45 service - my maths/brain fail
  8. Rotor: £20. Pads: £15. That's how much you'll need to spend to get the brake 75% there. I'd pay the extra tenner to have it spot on! At least if something goes wrong in the near future you have some comeback...
  9. Jack's using alloy forks. The black ones aren't being recalled.
  10. And stainless bearings, which is the reason for the price increase.
  11. Forgot about silly putty! Does seem quite similar now you have said...
  12. Trialtech and V!Z are both reliable on the back. Trialtech more engagements, V!Z cheaper - your choice!
  13. Yep, perfectly reliable on the rear
  14. #5 caliper. Yes, a +20 adaptor makes the brake feel a bit poo.
  15. That's what I thought... to be expected.
  16. No worries Make sure you get a 3-dayer (even if you are only staying for 2 - only £4 extra) as you'll get a free T and free burger with it!
  17. Tickets are all on the gate Mini kickers were 'Ali C Approved' yesterday
  18. It's not a hard shell - see video above.

  20. Aye, d3o: That was pretty silly looking back - I hadn't tested it with a gentle hit before going ahead with the video
  21. Had a bit of a bash at making some kit on Saturday - massive thanks to Simon at The Oak Frame Company for letting us use his stuff, plus 'Skinny Dave', Matt and my dad for lending a hand too The two kickers we have some far will form part of a larger fun box which will also have two flat landing ramps (which will also be useful as flat banks) - I'll do some doodles to help explain soon! Also going to make a flat bank with a rail across half of the top of it, plus we've got some mini-kickers which should be useful for ramping up stuff. We're running pretty tight on time but if there is anything small that you would like too just shout! Anyway, pics... Our workspace for the day - amazing place! Matt and Dave marking out the sides for the ramps Mini-kicker side bits Taking shape... If you see this sight in future, don't go near!! Nailgun-equipped madman on the rampage! Ply on top, nearly there... Testing! Mini kickers (got 2 of the larger ones, will test in the coming wheels and tweak if necessary) What we have so far - other ramp needs ply on top of course! And here's one Matt and Dave made last week... Expect to see Ali C backflipping off this
