Turbo Mini Forums

Did you feed one after midnight?!

bet all three of those weigh less than mine lol

Not seen this Thread before but I ride Park and dirt

I own a Custom built Jump bike
and a Custom built BMX

But braking my jump bike up as buying new one soon :)

Thats interesting Vegard,

Yes the frames can be a bit wafty, the point the rear deraliure mounts is somtimes breaks, and some are rather flexy especially if they have been heatcycled in a powdercoating over apparently. I really want to get hold of one of the racer frames too as they are supposed to be a lot more rigid, and lighter, and less prone to breakage.

on mine the bare frame is 3kg, a moder steel frame would be lass than that! also I have towonder about the aero dynamics of that H beam frame, But I do like riding it, nothing seems to get the same attention, either what the F is that, why hasnt it cracked yet, or why havent you died in a fireball yet....

got this hanging in my garage waiting to be built up :)

I've ridden mountain bikes for years but at the moment i've only got my yeti dj 4x bike, plus my retro road bike i use to get around on. not much mountain biking to be had here in Daventry it seems :(

We ride up to Fermyn Woods. It's a 20 mile round trip but well worth it. Nice cafe :)

Just off out now to get some tyres and tubes as my wheels for my road bike have finally arrived!

The Tour of Britain goes through the Chase tomorrow. Just looking at the map to decide whether to watch it there or up in the Peaks.

Yes Paul, you can do it all on a hardtail no problems, just slow down a bit more for the rough stuff.

almost finished :)

Noice,

That'll do as it is in the Velodrome. No gears and no brakes - ideal.

I keep looking at them!

think I'd have to swap the wheel aout though because of the sturmey.... or risk death on a propper set of rollers...

I've been looking for a while.

We did a reckie of the TdF pit on the time trial day to see what the pros are using. Sky use the Elite models and they were a lot quieter than the others. If it's good enough for Wiggins, It's good enough for me :0

Too much concentration needed for rollers.
