Sounds like you could easily loose a few pounds off that then.

And thats stunning tom, i'm guessing its free wheel not fixie? i really want to try fixed gear.

Nah, its fixed, took some getting used to but its fun. Cheers by the way

ive been riding fixed for the last year or so and i love it. i rode bmw for 10 years and never have i had more fear than riding my fixie at 25mph thought traffic.

went out for a ride today after the rain, bad move, ended up cached in mud/sludge, wheels would not turn properly, need a good jet wash in the morning.

yeah stick the bit in and give it a wobble

jet wash is fine if you protect all the parts afterwards.

Well my latest toy is currently with Force Racing getting repaired but should be a tasty bit of kit when it's finished. I think Nick & Kean will vouch how little it doesn't weigh :)

Yes, git. Hope it fixes ok Rob, should be great.

Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

Wow, mega beard ahoy captain!

Just finished the 456 now, only really want to swap the rear cassette now as these ratios are shit.



Recent changes are SLX crankset, FSA gap stem an bars, OnOne big nose saddle, OnOne seatclamp, FSA team chain.

Rides amazing now, so responsive an fast. Such a blast through the woods!

Indeed thats lovely,

Is it a fixie? if so I like that you've kept a front brake.

Warning to all overweight old gits.

Yesterday, I thought I would get the bike out as it is a nice day. Simple 10k run along the river valley on tracks with a bit of hills at the start and end.

So, possibly enthused by the current success of the British Cycling team in the world championships, I set of at quite a lick. Hit the hills hard. Took me about 20 minutes, so must have motored along.

Felt a bit odd afterwards, chest pains and shortness of breath. Didn't sleep last night and today I've been coughing and tasting blood :( as well as being grumpier than usual.

So best build up gradually.

Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

Christ Paul take it easy, takes me a while to get going without feeling pathetic and I am somewhat less mature than yourself.

I'm past mature and entering the mouldy stage :)

I know how much everyone here likes titanium & carbon fibre so I thought I'd show you my lastest toy:

That picture is pointless without a weight Rob!

how much?

I don't know as it's too heavy for the kitchen scales, my local bike shop's got a set so next time I'm cycling past I'll pop in & weigh it.

Good stuff

They race king tyres? i had the speed kings on mine and they weigh nothing, but washed out a lot in the corners, good for dry hard packed trails though.
