Agreed.

...Right.

We were there. A lot of people at the Brum ride said they were coming, but we didn't see anyone else :/

You really need another option in the poll. One that says: they'll get more popular than they are now, but won't invalidate mods and stocks, and they won't fade away. There'll just be three choices instead of two.

Cheers for the PM Would these Mike and Rich happen to be Expert Knob Twiddlers?

I guess this is what's so great about these frames. For the same price as a full build with a £400 frame, you can get some pimp-ass parts to go on it - and they're lighter than a lot of them too Onza sure struck the jackpot with this frame. Lovely lookin' bike dude

Exactly what I was gonna say Aren't they quite long bikes? You make it look tiny. Riding is rather massive, too

:$ I'm a massive Birmingham Newbie. If I'm at the white walls bit with the theater thing, do I walk in the direction of the mini catherderal thing, or away from it? Or I guess I coulld just ask a passerbyer.

Josh and I are coming, and there's a quite good chance Ben'll be coming up from Oxford Please enlighten me - is "Viccy Square" where the White Walls used to be, or somewhere else?

First one was cool enough - but this was as good, and more exciting Excellent. How come you f**ked your ankle on that? Didn't look particularly harsh landing or anything Weak bones? Edit: And what type of stone are those walls with the sloping sides made of? You seem to grip to them at STUPID angles

Another vote for the "yes they will break easier than Deng frames etc., but because they're made to be really light, not because tey're badly made" option.

Pretty cool Must be so nice to have the only noise you make be the freewheel and a little thump from landing. Disk just doesn't bite enough for me

No - I know - but petrol's expensive to a student

Cool video I want to ride Leeds - would you say it's worth a 180 mile round trip?

Absolutely beautiful, and 7.7 is damned light. Haha One thing - what slave pistons are they? The newest magura ones? They look different, but you don't have the new lever Lovely bike, either way.

I tend to get one when heading out. Don't find they give any extra energy, or even prevent me from sleeping - they just taste f**king lush.

I don't find it funny that you've now gotta buy a new frame, but I DO find it funny that it cracked where the Rockman sticker was

Out of interest - if you don't plan on needing to grip to rocks at weird angles, do you know if the Echo's much good on the street? I'm in love with my Stikys at the minute, but I'll need new ones sooner or later. If everything you ride - or almost everything - has square(ish) edges, and is 0, 45, or 90* - is the extended life worth it, or are they really bad even then?

Yeah yeah, I know - but I was singing the merits of a cheaper one so long as it's got sealed bearings, as I've not once had an issue with them.

Very good, yes. But to be honest - (and I'm not too sure how much ProII fronts are) I'd save some cash and just get the Onza/other basic SEALED BEARING hub. I've had one for... pretty much 3 years now, and it's still going strong, and spins for ages. Having said that - ff you can get a ProII for cheap, do it for the bling factor

You call that a crack?! Haha. We call those tiny little hairline cracks a crack. That's a f**king chasm

I don't know anywhere, but - out of interest - why? I find the current tyres on the market to be much better performing.

I tried cotton tape for a bit. Quite nice, but ended up too skinny and I kept getting badly timed hand-cramps If you can get it on the right thickness for your preference, there's no reason why not. Just another option to the foam/rubber argument.

It's bad manners to go to someone else's house and say things they can't hear or understand. What makes you think the forums are any different? As far as videos go, it was kinda cack, I'm afraid.
