yeah figured it, its because it is fillet brazed which does naturally form the curved sections between the tubes which look like welds. thought they look a bit rough in comparison to some frames ive seen fillet welded, but htats becasue the majority of them had the braze filled smooth!!! had a quick gander at some curtis and you'll see the brazes are the same quality. awesome frames mate, starting at 260 is silly cheap but i'd so have to rinse the options list!!! love those hifi's in battleship grey look sexy craig

tis a nice lookin bike there mate mite be my next frame of choice. i guess its brazed? shame they couldnt be a bit neater but thats bein anal, and trust i know how hard it is to get em sexy lookin! love te choice of colour, tis all damn good! what forks are they? craig

had some for the last 3 months, nice and stiff and wide, seem pretty good quality, ive had no complaints or worries about them

forging is better for strength and resisting forces because you can align the grain of the metal with the direction in which the forces will be applied. its used in the production of cranks, they forge the product to as near a final shape as they can and then machine the excess away. mean less material waste, maximum space and the minimum weight needed. so both together is best

im exactly the same mate, its weird should be 2.3mb but, i seem to get pretty slow downlaod rates, like im lucky if i get over 100kbps, can anywhere suggest an online speed test?

vid doesnt wanna load for me, just comes up with a question mark over the qucktime logo and if i try to save it cant find the file?....

how did that one get through?! it was a bit special though, not normal

am definitely quite excited about my copy, cant wait until it comes!! 12 quid well spent i hopes tha edd tongue vid is a bit specail, shame he's not in this.

got to love the taunton massive, strange i never saw you lot riding when i was in taunton for college. great vid!! i want rich's leeson! more vids like that please.

retro vids thread would be awesome, loving some of those vids, crazy to see how far everything has moved on so far! that 'MAD' vid is so funny, not seen a wheel explode like that!

yeah thats what i was talking about,seems a bit coincidental!

look like they should have built in horizontal tensioners in them so does anyone know anything about the company? they seem some pretty nice parts, just be nice to know some prices, can anyone help?

new to me, looks pretty nice. anyone know how much it is and if they have a uk importer? the citrus pads look strangely similar to the onza citrus pads that have been mentioned in a few threads recently craig

nice bike, i want one! shame about the quality of the vid. not your usual 24" vid but still good nonetheless

the pedal inserts are probably the best way forward. drilling a pin through the end of the crank arm... cant imagine that lasting too long!!

this is a bit of a pointless topic really. not the best way to get validated any time soon. thinks its the time to close this one

make sure he does keep some back and or make some more because i defo want one ad am not goin to fort bill and i expect many more people will be in the same situation, sounds pretty awesome!

some drugs in controlled moderation are ok, you've just got to limit the risk you are causing to yourself when taking them. unfortunately some substances will trigger or accelerate a pre-determined disposition or illness, unfortunately its not just illegal drugs that have this effect on people. dont forget the amount of people in the world that suffer from alcoholism and the damage and effect it has on them and their families. some people will be susceptible to these things unfortunately you dont know its going to happen to you until its too late. i've done quite a varied amount of drugs, some in excess, not something i'm proud of. really it was during my last years of school and the first year of college that they took a hold, and i'm only talkin 'soft' drugs. unfortunately its during this period of time in someones life that the brain is still developing and people are more susceptible to the effects. luckily i was able to see where it was going before it completely ruined my chances of a good life, the support and counselling i received was what got me through 4 years of manic depression and several suicide attempts. i managed to finally get back to and finish college and i'm off to uni in september. i think one way of monitoring and controlling in some way the sale and distribution would be to legalize some drugs in some way or another. cannabis for example would be the obvious choice, only available through licensed premises and regulated by the government to monitor quality and strength. yes it would also mean they could tax the hell out of it, rake in the money from the people that 'have' to have it and remove the taboo and wonder of it from the people that want to try it. unfortunately i think a lot of it is down to the choice of the individual in the end some people will choose to do some things irrespective of wether they are legal or not just my tuppence craig

it is kinda comical, bein a scooter and all but the skills impress he kinda makes it look good! dont think it'll be catching on any time soon. fair shouts for getting through all the jeering he must have endured to get that good!! craig

if you look at the picture on the supercycles site, it looks like on the box its got a tick box for a rear specific one too..... mebs they'll be one to follow shortly?

lovely looking site mate, takes a while to figure it out, or that could be just me! ice to see some fresh ideas and some clean looking graphics

pretty good vid nice to see lots of different spots and virtually no repitition. awesome track too, gotta love the jam, more music like this please!! craig

marta pads ^^^^^ think these would be best? sintered are generally used in downhil,l from what i can gather from my mates they use em because they stop em quicker! so either the ones above or sintered

sintered pads i think contain traces of metal, which one increases their ability to conduct and dissapate heat, greata for downhill and two makes them longer wearing. organic generally has a shorter life time than sintered. i think thats right , ive only ever had dics only dh bike and ive always used sintered craig

well i thought it was pretty damn good , not too sure bout the new songs but we'll see when the new album comes out. just wondering if anyone else went and what they thought of it?
