  1. Gerardo Garcia, Benito Ros, Rafal Kumourowski, Michal Nowak, and Tom Rankin. All because they are super smooth* and powerful riders. *Rankin is smoothest though.
  2. I worked in a small bike shop when I was 15, work permit s'all's good. Still work there now and Halfords too. I'm really tempted do work as a delivery driver (or rider in this case ) for Dominoes though.
  3. I think I might bear that in mind with my Echo, I don't see how tilting bars back makes it ride better, at least not from a street point of view.
  4. What does she have a passion for, or do besides yourself? If she goes out with mates all the time, or has some kind of hobby say the same thing to her. Only as a contrast not actually "I'm going to leave you if you don't stop seeing your mates!" Can't there be a girl love thread as I don't actually have anything to post here. Althought without a doubt come one month I'll be posting some kind of trouble in here.
  5. Its a bit of a open question mate, everyone has their own preferences, only way to find out how it rides is for you to try one. If you can't try one, try find a bike with a similar geo or set-up to how yours will be.
  6. Well screw me silly. It's a T-Pro so decent geometry, decent weight, decent tension by the looks of things and its in dual disc and magura. I want that frame. Fancy selling me one in that colour?, Test rider.
  7. Are you even going to do it legally like Eric haha. Yea Andy those rocks sound/look sweet, or I'd be up for riding Southend street.
  8. A tube is a tube to me when it comes to weight, I'm running a Kedna DH 19" tube in the rear and its not a massive difference on weight (once its in the bike). For me, getting the rear wheel in and out of the bike is such a pain, so I really want a tube to protect me on the rear. Front I just have a generic bulk ChengShin tube.
  9. Ah as much as I love Chelmsford (and I haven't been there for ages), I most likely won't be able to come. Should be picking up my new moped. But who knows?, if the ride is still going on I might pop down and do some videos, I do really need to run the bike in.
  10. I ride an Echo Lite long and ride at the Essex Bike trial club. So does Martyn from Woodbridge. I'm not at the practice sessions due to me working on Sundays, but I will most likely be at the next competition so you can try it then. I am also looking to sell it in a few months time.
  11. I've always pronounced it as "Sha-Wal-Bay".
  12. The ringtone adverts, or "Text initial to xxxx and find the initials of your future husband".
  13. Rubik's cube, 'cor the corners of those could easily create a nasty head wound. And I am being serious.
  14. Looks soo good, reminds me of a Hydroxx. Just slowly get rid of the Deng bits, and then your sorted. =D
  15. Ah sweet I didn't know that "Beast with a billion backs" was out, I'll have to source it. I've got Bender's big score, I really enjoyed it as it explained a lot of the things that happened in the series; like Bender being in the space ship destroying New York whilst Fry is Frozen, which is shown in the first episode, and how Semour got cast in dolomite. I just wish they made actual episodes for TV, rather than just cutting up these feature length movies.
  16. New avatar. Matt if you can see this, ily and please upload your Bite card photo. =D
  17. My friend had a Kodak V1253 (which is the second from top model in Kodak's V range) Link: http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jht...requestid=14370 It has High defintion video, (and I was quite surprised by the quality it came out with), lots of handy picture tools including a panoramic setting, in which you take 3 photos of a landscape and it joins them together to make one big picture. Picture quality can also be up to 12mp (depending on quality to storage ratio). I say he had, beacause he thinks it either got stolen or lost at the Foo's gig, which it was a shame because it was such a nice camera. As well as the fact how the whole display and layout of the camera is amazing its got a 3.1 inch viewing screen. I think the next model up is touch screen and some other functions, but this one is a damn bargain. He managed to get it for £129.99 from Dixons, Currys, or PC World. Panoramics (I couldn't get the full quality ones from him) As you can see in the second one, the stitching isn't as smooth but you get the idea. And the last one was just a normal photo (on 6mp I think, and copied directly from his facebook so the quality isn't exactly amazing)

    Braces

    If you are really that concerned. http://www.invisalignclinic.co.uk/?gclid=C...CFQntlAod4QZlWw I'm sure you won't like the number, but ask your orthodontist and maybe you'd be reduced because of your age. I had braces, and had to have 2 teeth removed for them, I thought my teeth were fine back then, they weren't exactly all over the place, just my front teeth a bit goofy. Although now my teeth don't line up amazingly, the top teeth are perfect, my bottom teeth are all angled and when I bite/close my mouth instead of my bottom teeth sitting inside of my top ones, they sit on top of each other. As a result I can't really do a decent smile. I also made the mistake of eating toffee with my braces in, it pulled out the main crown at the back that holds the whole brace in place. It also did hurt when the rail came out of the guide and stabbed me in the cheek, one orthodontist couldn't fix it, but my regular guy was amazing with orthodontistry (is that a word). Going to the orthodonist also got me lots of days off school. =D
  19. I want to front hop that wheel. Bloody amount of times I've rimed out on my front echo rim, and now I know why it hasn't dented. =D
  20. And what exactly is wrong with a short? I don't like the bashplate idea, I reckon I could get a dent in the downtube that way. That does look soo lush though, they should do one with just disc, imagine what the weight would be then. EDIT: Oops just seen Chris' link, they do one with just disc, looks soo tempting.

    Hayfever

    No hayfever for me. Not trying to brag or anything. (I bet I've just jinxed it).
  22. Damn Reece beat me to it, screw the little hairs you should have shaved his whole bloody mole off. Wasn't gonna do it but...... Someone have it as their avatar.
  23. Southend would be nice. But what day is that date, I can really only do Saturdays.
