Turbo Mini Forums

You too? Those new shorts are crap.

I cycle... every day without fail.

Just sold this after doing it up




I'm currently selling my beloved Cannondale aswell

Rob it uses LHD to save the chain when people grind with pegs on the RH side of the bike.

Nice bikes tom, i would love a road bike.

Ive now got to ride 14 miles a day to work and back becuase i cant afford to run a car.
I was thinking of buying a cheep tricycle and fitting a motor and a couple of batterys. Then i can add abit of a box to carry tools around aswell.
Anyone had any experience with electric setups?

yeah stick the bit in and give it a wobble

Well I got the horse out of the shed for the first time yesterday sinse I have moved to surrey and me and a mate went out for a ride.
I wish I had got off my ass before as with in 5 min ride from my house a single track starts, well we were out for 5hrs yesterday and 4hrs today, there is still loads of tracks yet to do. Looks like i will have a good summer.

One of the best runs is an old WW2 trench that zig zags down a hill in the woods that someone has put a lot of time and effort in to setting up for about 2km.

O and a better pic of the horse.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

I'm taking the Orange out to the Alps in August for a dam good thrashing, bring on the carnage.

Well some times I think I'm just cursed, went to the lockup where all the racers are stored and my self and a mates bikes are stored and guess what, bikes where gone. Some Rat bastard cut a hole in the roof cloned in broke open the door and took the two bikes a small inverter welder and a bench grinder. FN scum cunts is all I have to say about that one, and know there was no insurance on the unit. the fucking best part of it is in that unit there is 4 tool boxes with the guts of 40k worth of tools in then and they never even opening one of the. :-$

unlucky fella, a mate of mine got mugged by chavs in daylight the once before. Called out some mates and after some scrapping, got the bike back. Sneakiness like that you cant do much about though :(

And ive just broken my bmx and sold off all the parts i dont need. Building up a 24" jump bike with an identiti p60 frame which should arrive at the bike shop today

New bike is now built :)

Identity p60 frame, some random cheap cranks for the time being, Shimano rear hub with an old xplanet rim, front hope hub with a halo sas rim, some midrange RST 100mm travel Space jump forks, Rental bars on my old profile bmx stem, dmr moto digger tyre and a kenda k-rad on the back. Dmr pivotal post and my old macneil seat. Magura 160mm hydraulic rear disc brake, Odyssey twisted pedals. 25-12 gearing but i need to get a 28 sprocket. Carbon headset spacer and ODI longneck grips. Bout all i can think it has at the minute, but heres a pic of my new steed :)
And shall build up a new back wheel at some point with a hope hub and another halo SAS rim.

heres mine, just converted from single speed to 9speed to get to work and back while the minis off the road

About 27lbs i think it was when it was weighed at the bike shop just out of interest. Ahh KHE's. Im going to have to get me some of those, had them on my bmx, theyre the best tyres ive ever ridden, super grippy and weigh sweet f/a

Anyone else following the Giro?

This is a good read:

just got back to my flat to find my bikes been stolen it was only a dmr drone mainly used to get me to and from the pub but still gutting

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

[quote=fab,8th Oct, 2010]fuck off

extra weight is probably due to those stupid cheap cranks i have, and the tyres weigh a tonne :/ and the addition of a brake, which i might take off soon cos it doesnt seem to be bedding in

When i bought the KHEs for my bmx they were 30 quid a pop, but well worth it.

Here's my latest bike. Reynolds 531 frame, 40mm deep track wheels etc
