  1. Eww to the orange graphics the rear mounted maggie is great , i want one!
  2. Gu for me personally, the ashton does look so nice though...i take that little "flick" of a seat off though....
  3. That is such a nice bike! Really into the new / old skool mix there, bet it rides a treat!
  4. Gold maggie clamps and rear hub look bootiful against the red.....not so sure about the mbuk sticker on the maggie slave cylinder
  5. Going Newquay tomorrow with some mates that are going surfing.....was going to join them but decided against it if i can get a ride in....anyone fancy it? Have a look at wooden waves etc....?
  6. I still think you should have gone for gloss orange....but the green does look pretty sweet, you've inspired me to spray my street bike...gloss orange
  7. Squeeze the tyre into the centre and use washing up liquid to lube it.....if it wont budge then you might have to resort to screwdrivers......
  8. Well its these cranks: http://tinyurl.com/2msz92 Onza woodstock frame, obv And i havent bought a front freewheel yet, but i was probably going to get an acs...if not something second hand around the £10-15 mark The problem is not finding one, but the price! I can get a 113/18 for £15 but all the 128s seem to be around £35+ and as i only paid £20 for the cranks cant justify spending that much on a bb......
  9. yeah, i realised that yesterday :$ but in fairness its before they were really being churned out in silver......IMO
  10. Well, internet and basic media, e.g cd burning, dvd watching etc....but he wants something that wont need replacing for a while so i specced it pretty high## pretty much promised to have dead pixels.....wtf? I need to add the case and psu onto the price, and ive got cables at home
  11. Erm, ive got an Onza woodstock with racelines and red koxx wheels......
  12. Ok....well ive just bought me forks so im defo keeping them...and the bars, but im going to get a hansventur on the back and definitely go singlespeed, im sure that'll make loads of difference......
  13. thankyou! speedy reply and pretty much what i wanted..... th only prob is, that says 128 as well.....does anybody know if its possible to use a smaller one?
  14. Iv got an onza woodstock, tensile cranks, and an acs claw ( or similar ) freewheel.....what size bb do i need? someone told me it'd be 'close with a 113mm' then tarty Adam told me id need a 127.5mm bb...so...does anybody know what size it needs, I cant find any b/b's that big. I haven't checked on tarty ,because their sites down I've only looked on CRC, wiggle, supercycles, trialsman(does have a 128 but its £23 which i cant afford...) and select bikes (same as trialsman, does have one but its £45...) Please Help!
  15. i think i might go ss actually.....seems to be worth it with the weight saving and far less risk of gear slippage....... Would mag flatties make it lighter? any other light and cheap rear tyre options? i think i might go ss actually.....seems to be worth it with the weight saving and far less risk of gear slippage.......

  16. No it isnt, what im trying to say is that i like it because its a bit older, and has a seat!
  17. Beauty of a bike, apart from my bike., havent seen a set of planet-x kniffen forks on a modern trials rig for a while....
  18. Decided my woodsdtock is getting decidedly portly recently, so, i thought id give it a bit of a slim down and try and shave a few grams here and there. It used to weigh 12.1kg, but with the new bits ( try-all yourself bars, koxx forxx( < i think), tensile uci cranks ) the weight should drop a bit.... spec @ 12.1kg: Koxx rims F+R Mission hubs Base forks Onza woodstock frame ( 1.6 kg ) Unbranded alloy 110mm stem F+R maggie racelines Club Roost bars Kenda kinetics 2.35 F+R M:parts headset KMC k510 chain sora rear mech Deore 9spd shifter pod Tryall twin cage pedals un52 bb onza seat and post kenda tubes *temporary* sugino road crankset Any other weight loss suggestions? I'm hoping to get it down to 10.5kg (or less)
  19. I second that ..... bloomin deng frames are starting to take over, you're considered old skool by some if you ride a 0 b/b nowadays......
  20. Beauty bike, last time i saw one of those was in MBUK looked the sex there as well!
  21. thats what i thought...all creased in
