Re: London to Brighton - MTB - Off road :o

Good work Geo - that's a fair old mileage! :clap: I'm heading out to the alps to ride this week - we've been planning to ride the Tour de Mont Blanc for ages, training for some back to back long days (not as long as yours) and big climbs & descents. However, the unusually late winter means the h...

Re: odd bikes

Funny, I've always had a bit of a hankering for Baggies & Mastiffs, despite not having the requisite 38" legs. I don't get too excited about sportsbikes, but these two have always done it for me: http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y367/joxter66/Bikes/DSC_6726_adjust_right_sized.jpg http://...

Re: Help, trouble sourcing fork springs...

Let us know how you get on with them Chris - I'm the same weight as you and have been in a slather of indecision over going for progressive or linear. I don't tend to be heavy on the brakes & try to be as smooth as possible, as well as being quite light, and on the whole haven't had a real issue...

Re: Dads

Second Al's suggestion of getting him out on the bike. Sounds like spending time with him away from the things that stress him would be good for both of you. Good luck Seb, families can be hell. I did wonder how long people had to own a Gixxer before they become completely furious. Have you got the ...

Re: ebay thread vote!!!!!

No strong opinion on the ebay thread - if I'm after something I'll just be looking on ebay anyway, or if I'm stuck I'll post on the Wants section. If I'm buying or selling from someone on the For Sale/Wanted forum, I'd want to have an idea of what they're like, so I like the idea of a higher post co...
