  1. 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
  2. Erm, ive got an Onza woodstock with racelines and red koxx wheels......
  3. 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......
  4. 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?
  5. 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!
  6. 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.......

  7. No it isnt, what im trying to say is that i like it because its a bit older, and has a seat!
  8. 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....
  9. 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)
  10. 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......
  11. Beauty bike, last time i saw one of those was in MBUK looked the sex there as well!
  12. thats what i thought...all creased in

    Computer?

    Basically I'm building up a pc for around £225, self build, including monitor.....managed to get this spec and i think its the best value for money i can build for that price... Sorry for the naff way of presenting the spec.... http://tinyurl.com/2blr4g Opinions? or recommendations?
  14. Everyone thats posted is defo coming then? by my count thats 13 of us ...... Anyone else fancy a ride on Sunday?

  19. Is Copthorn the main station at the bottom of town?
  20. Weight shouldn't really make a difference, especially as its a mod......alu forks should help if you really start to notice the weight becoming an issue. Just take a look at some old skool trials vids with people on gt zaskars with sus up front.If they can do it with a 15kg+ bike.........
  21. Volkswagen polo 1.0l w reg......fully comp, named driver on parents policy......£370! £2500 worth of car as well..... quinn insurance......
  22. Long live bikes with seats!
  23. Woodstock might be worth a look at.....apparently they snap but ive never had any problems with mine.....im a fairly heavy rider( hard landings etc) and the ole onza has taken all of it...
  24. Shimano sora are probably the best derailleur choice.....especially on a budget
  25. Iron Horse are awesome bikes....Sam Hill won the 2006 Norba DH world round on an I.H sunday "world cup" <<I think?)
