Steel frame? Surely you want aluminium or even some CF. ;)

Fek, it's got to wheels and a chain what else do i need :nenau
I've not had a bike for at least 15 years got a silly idea in my head to get fit:eek:
So this is my first step :D
 
Bet you won't be riding that for a while with your bruised bollocks and puffy hip :D

Snoopy when it comes to bikes those that know, know 'Steel is Real'

Steel frames feel alive, alloy on a full suspension works because it gives a ridged mount.

My bikes:

Reynolds 653 road bike
Columbus Max single speed MTB
Reynolds 853 full XTR MTB

Looks like good value Forry although a man of your skill will out ride it's capabilities down hill up hill the bike will beat you beacuse of the Fags!
 
Yeah, steel's the future :rolleyes: just ordered an orange P7 frame after years of rattling me knashers on ally bikes :D
PS Yeah it looks a good buy Forry :thumb2

Bike ran pretty well for its first outing gears need adjusted and the seats agony.:augie
 
Your arse will harden into it after a wee while but do go and buy some decent bike shorts(bib and brace style are the best even if they look a bit:ymca). It may seem odd to spend more money on your shorts than you have spent on the bike but trust me its worth it

Stumpy
 
Like feck...

Forry you fecker....
I thought you'd beat me to it.
KLX.......
Pedal away mate, I'll see you 'fit as a fiddle' for the Cambrian Rally.
Timpo.

Ha Ha knew the title would confuse you :D
Just need to stop smoking now:tears

Stop taking the piss, and check out the lead paned mirror. Must be posh.

Kitchen cupboard actually :eek:
 
Erm? Yep, I guess so....
Most smokers that come on my rides struggle, and these rides are f*ck all y'all!
Wait 'til I roll the bad ones out.........:green gri

Timpo.

Bring it on Timpo :D

I've yet to see you on a real bike always playing with toys :augie
