Id come if the bike wasnt in bits ready to be sold and had no chain. Anyone wanna buy a bike or bits.lol. I can deliver locally to norwich

yeah on the back cover

After a new tire and saw a pic of this on the back on mbuk. http://www.maxxis.com/Bicycle/Mountain/Ardent.aspx Just wondered if anyone had tried one and how it performed. Cheers

Anyone else coming? I mite if the new baby will let me out.lol

Theres not always as much choice of colour. Its cheaper because as I understand it theres less labour involved. I go tmy stock frame done for £40 and if you put it next to a painted bike you wouldnt know it had been powder coated

DONT GET IT SPRAYED. Get it powder coated. Lasts better and looks as good as paint and is normally cheaper

Yeah i`ll try that. Would lowering the stem make it feel like the bars are further away from me?

The bars and stem i`ve got on my bike at the moment are megamo and ive measured them roughly and the bars are 26" wide and the stem is 100mm long. I dont know what the angles are or which megamo bars or stem they are. What i would like some help on is what to replace them with, at the moment it feels like the bars are too close to me when i stand on the bike, so was thinking of a new stem or even bars and stem. The frame is a Toxsin Frame 1 with gusset Jury forks on. Heres a couple of pics of the bars and stem

I wont be riding for a bit. Just had a baby daughter so need to look after her

Wouldnt mind goin for a ride and wondered if ne1 else was gonna be about

Dont spray it. Get it powder coated, normally cheaper and lasts for ever

During the week is no good for me as im at work. Friday may be possible though

Vids Sweet. Song i think is Prodigy -Omen Its on the new Invaders Must Die album

heres my Heavytools, this is old skool and was also designed by Kraus. Anyone remember Bashguard.com

I wont be there. Sorry. Buggered my back at work yesterday

They were the days.lol . I remember all of those coming out and wanting most of them Comfy seats! That cortina was a horrible looking thing!

I am planning to get some urbans or similar . Thinking about it, thats nearly 1KG. Thats alot of weight

Ok. I`ll have to find the length and offset of my forks. There gusset jury`s i think. Just had a look and internet reckons my forks are 403mm and have a 1.5" rake. Does that sound right. Also it says they are 1600g, that seems heavy to me.lol

Looks lovely. Nice straight clean lines

Thats a good idea. didnt think of that. Got a grinder at work and some nice cutting discs so i`ll do that i think. Also how much diffrent do forks make to the feel of a bike. e.g straight blade and curved.

If ur getting it done to be sold i`d go for a neutral colour like white or black. Also you say your getting it painted, personally i reckon powder coating will give a much stronger better lasting finish and will look as good as paint. Most frames can be powder coated for anything up to £40

U`ll need a shimano fit one i think. Tarty bikes sell them, and other places like halfrauds

At the moment i have a load of spacers under my stem as i was lazy and couldnt be bothered to cut the steerer. I was just wondering how cutting the steerer and lowering the stem would change how the bike rides. The frame is a Toxsin 1 by the way. Cheers

Me. Aslong as i aint doing anything. Should be ok though
