anyone on here cycle/mountainbike?
Turbo Mini Forums

Yeah the marin looks a really nice all rounder, i would love something similar but the car seems to eat all my money! if you want a really good all round chain, the kmc 710 and 710sl are very good, i had a 710sl for 2 years with no trouble on daily use.

Here's one i bought yesterday! Its now stripped down to be rebuilt, and will probably be fixed gear. :)

Very nice, I really want a retro roady as my next project. Need a shed first though to house them all!

Cheers kean, i had been thinking about it for a while and my mate decided he wanted to sell his, no brianer. :)

I've been using autosol on all the shiney bits tonight.

Steel bikes seem to be making a bit of a comeback:

I'm getting on well with my alloy Specialized, but I'd love a nice retro styled titanium famed bike.

Lol Paul you are a whore for titanium, steel is good and cheap. I hhave just bought some nice and light goodness for mine though, i will post up some pics soon. :)

Is it wrong to lust over this bad boy?:



I might need to sell a couple of Minis to buy it, but it would get more use than the cars :0

Nothing wrong with that, looks light!

Shame to spoil the look with a fat, old wrinkly :)

Here's mine which I've just put together. A hydrid with 700c rims, too old for a cross country mountain buster or a racer designed in a wind tunnel! A Claude Butler before they went CBR shite. Just bought a few bits and lost some weight...........

Those hollowtech II chainsets sure do save some weight!

Nice, except for the pedals :)

Should be good on the hills

I ride bikes :).









Been riding for years. Have some trails to, like my second home...



Last set in the line, nearly ready for summer!

You can do all that on a road bike :)

For a few hours until it breaks! have enough trouble breaking supposedly strong parts!

Ive just built my first rear wheel,pretty chuffed with how it went,

deep track rim with a 3 speed sturmey and 9 speed deraliur.

WTF is that ??

Never seen discs with 20c tyres before.

LOL

Kirk revolution, magnesium frame extracted from 1 tonne of seawater (Norsk Hydro) actually an MTB frame that Ive stuck 700c's on, the wheel's had disc hubs when they arrived so I made up a couple of brakets and put calipers on!

the fron deraliur has always been a nightmare on it, so Ive done away with it in favor of a sturmey CS-RK3.... new hub so i thought I may as well get a new rim so I can leave the old one intact as a spare...

its great, Ive gone from 7 to 27 speed, can tackle the hills properly now!

Hills !! I've seen you endomundo.

Scope for a bit of a over t with those brakes.

the brakes arent actually that good, they are just cheap cable discs, not like those big lethal hydraulic ones!

and we do have hills... Ive just been avoiding them!

It's had paint too!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

That'll be anti-gravity paint for the hills !

no no!

its black so that it stays cold and dosent spontainiously combust!

160% more heat dissipation from the thighs!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

These things breed faster than Minis :)
