Remember kids, if you buy a bike online you may have to assemble parts of it yourself, immediately invalidating any warranty that may apply.shoes said:wow thats a bargain stoofer
Good detective work my friend, i joined both forums at the same time when i had a bike stolen at the end of last year.Withnail said:Unless it is an amazing coincidence, White Ranker contributes to the forum so no doubt he will advise at some stage and probably rides a great deal more (ie at all) than i do at the moment.
Suspension seatpost and kevlar tyres? That does sound pretty good!Gramaisc said:I'm keen on this. Eight-speed hub gears and drum brakes, everything internal and a chunky chain. I spoke to a bloke in town once who'd had one for a while and was very satisfied with it. The price goes up and down all the time and I'm always too late when it bottoms..
Rigid forks at the front though, I think you'll enjoy riding it a lot more even with some basic shocks on the front - I always used to find that rigid forks gave too much vibration in your wrists.tek-monkey said:Suspension seatpost and kevlar tyres?

When I was a bit younger I has a carrera fury and used to thrash it to the limit on the chase every other weekend with my mate alex, unfortunately since that was stolen I lost interest. Its only recently that my interest has been resparked, primarily by my ever increasing bellyWithnail said:Do i detect a latent bike love affair on the dear forum 'o' the Ford?

No never heard anymore about it, got another one sorted now, still keep my eyes peeled when im out and about especially on the chavs outside McDonalds but no luck yet.shoes said:I have been watching some of the videos on he chasetrails website and there are some great obsticles in there, probably way higher that my level of skill but something to certainly have a go on.
Did you ever have any comeback from your bike White Ranker?
TBH I'm not really interested in off-road, just commuting. I know I'd never go for a rear suspension, but I suppose a stiff front one could be of useshoes said:Rigid forks at the front though, I think you'll enjoy riding it a lot more even with some basic shocks on the front - I always used to find that rigid forks gave too much vibration in your wrists.
You'll never get your Cycling Proficiency with that attitude.gk141054 said:Have since added some bargain Shimano M520's and never looked back.
If you're going to be on road then you'll want lower profile thinner tyres to reduce drag but this also reduces shock absorbtion by the tyre. I suppose it depends on how far your journeys are going to be and in what state the ground is in. I always remember on fully rigid frames stafford roads are not forgiving lol.tek-monkey said:TBH I'm not really interested in off-road, just commuting.

Is that much better than this?tek-monkey said:I know its still rigid (ooer), but any thoughts on this? Will be used 95% for going to work (roads) with 5% places like the tracks through the marshes.
