you lot are sooooooo funny ha feckin ha!

Prob not able to do pollock this weekend (dad up visiting) but defo the following week so could do the cash thang then

Me and my partner Kaiser :roll: had a really nice wee run over some trails at dundonald- sunny ayrshire (always sunny when I go out) and guess what I saw....................

can you tell what it is yet?

another

that's right it is the lesser spotted white stumpie

Looks amazing and was a sweet ride too ohh err matron

best picture for last of course

:shock: The Stumpie! Outside! Where it could get dirty! :shock:

What I find so amazing is how the pristine perfectness of it clearly warps the fabric of space to blur, soften and take the edge of the gleaming shine to spare the fragile minds of those who would gaze upon it.

Next weekend for Pollock sounds good.

yeah camera phones at dusk are shhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite.

We only had one mechanical aswell- which bike do you think? New bike or retro bike :roll:

On-one's rock :twisted:

That they do Gazz....that they do.

Any joy shifting the Beast or MF? Are you clearing out to fund another project?

Oh and I'd better give Pollock a miss this Sunday Mr. Hendrix, I'd forgotten that I need to go to a friend's to put her brand new ill advised BSO together. Baws! :evil:

This On-One love was amusing at first but its getting scary now. Do I have to tell you to get a FAT again before you see the light and return to the rightious path that is retro?

Si

Me and Kaiser talked about this last night and I think my conversion has been the long top tube = better fit. Alot of the older style bikes (including the clockwork) feel a bit short so on the longer rides I get some back ache, the on-one just fits better and as a consequence my riding seems to flow more (kaiser will disagree I'm sure).

The solution to this modern/retro thing is to get a spesh (good call Kaiser)as they have longer top tubes I hope to get a go on one to test the theory out- I would love a fat but not sure if I will have the same problem.

Retro looks so much better IMHO but so far, modern kicks arse when out riding :roll:

still got both so the clear out is not really happening- no plans on any other bikes J, but do have a tequesta coming on sunday so something to feck about with in the meantime.

That's what does it for me as well. But then I've had a bike set up similar to my own Inbred since 1995, closest approximate set up being my 18" '95 CinderCone with 80mm stem and risers.

So you could look at Konas as well Gazz 'cos they do have quite long top tubes, possibly the good Dr. could recommend a few more retro steeds with similar proportions?

And get rid of that crappy Orange, it clearly doesn't fit you! Might as well drop it off at mine and I'll "dispose" of it for you.
