a lad down my street is selling his burner, i really want it, but would have to get blue tyres for it and the bar/frame protectors, they look sick:

I reckon Burners will see a resurgence soon, like the Raleigh Choppers a few years ago. Buy it and then flog it to some trendy spa on ebay for a massive profit *happy*

gary, the flaw in that plan, is i know ill prob never sell it, i find selling treasured bits harder than break ups

haha, fully understandable. I fear I will go through life having never sold a car. In that case, just go for it and enjoy it

Hydraulic rim brakes, cool! I've always wanted to give trials type riding a go but I don't have the balls or talent

Hi

I have just bought a Trek 6000 on a cycle to work scheme which we do at work.

I looked around for numerous bikes from Marin to Specialized but the Trek was the most comfortable and with 40% off its pretty cheap as well.

Is there much of a market for getting rid of my old one - Muddy Fox with Magura Hydralic brakes.

Any ideas of where I could put it/

Thanks

Jon

well, my friend Måns have ordered a wave sailboard from Indonesia, half price compared to Sweden*wink* We googled some of the bikes that where on the site to, and they seams to be 5-6 times cheaper than in europe…he ordered the board last week it´s £50 for 5 days fedex freight and signed value of $200 (board was $1000) if this works out (yea Måns is the "try rabbit") i can sea a new bike together with my twinser wave board he he

if this is the real mccoy, wich bike to go for? I like the carbon framed ones*wink*

My adrenline fueled, gravity asisted bike is blue and was made in Yorkshire with pride. Fook me it's an animal which is going to put me in hospital one of these days.

I haven't got any pics I'm afraid but everyone's favourite Yorkshire bike builder only offers one model in electric blue as standard :)

I'm half toying over filling the rear swing arm with lead to try an hold the back end down, according to the guy behind when I was coming down Afan the other week the back end was jumping a good 6 inches side to side as I broke traction on the corners. That said it handles beautifully in the air, especially in the energy section.

Edit: found half a picture:



Sadly Still Woods is no more:
