Maybe he should just get a Marino. Joking aside, I don't think weight saving has anything to do with it. As with Chris who attacked his brand new Skye, the only issue is the voiding of warranty however, if you're ok with this (and to be fair Inspired's are built frickin' strong so I very much doubt there'd ever be an issue) I'd go for it!

Inspired forks are straight blade... That bike does look really nice though (minus the forks). There's something about a simple black and white colour scheme that just works.

I think you're mad for not going for the Orange Ash... Though it wouldn't surprise me if the Orange was sold within hours of being posted up anyway.

I did a season of Hampshire comps on a Fourplay, just changed the rear wheel for one with a ground rim, changed the tyres and went for it. Obviously it wasn't ideal but was still very enjoyable and reasonably competitive!

That's dangerous... If she really means a lot to you best get things sorted otherwise it'd be all too easy to lose her. I should know as I met my now wife in halls when she was already with another guy from her hometown. It didn't end well for him. Edit: that last sentence sounds rather dark... I didn't kill him or anything .

You're training to be a doctor, right? I can only assume you haven't done the 'bedside manner' module yet? I really feel sorry for your future patients...

Looks very pro! Good work! Just a shame there's no snow...

ORLY?

In theory yes but check what you're buying as the title says M5 x 0.8 and the description states M5 x 1.0...

If I had a few more 20" bits kicking about I'd be sorely tempted to buy one to build up as a brakeless bike for a laugh... I can imagine old school geo and long chainstays might actually be quite useful for that, plus being steel and a bit more resilient to boot.

I've always thought flatlanders were a weird bunch.

His riding and that video bored me immensely...

Smart ass.

Used to have a black one and then a baby sick yellow one. Rode quite well actually as memory serves me correctly. You just need to be careful with the bashguard rubbers (or just run a bashring set up). Edit: Bit of history for you- the forks in that picture are the very first pair of Echo 20" forks ever to land in the UK, back when Kurt Brain started riding for X-Street and Echo. Got them to run on the EM2 (again, the first Echo 20"'s ever in the UK, firstly a preproduction one followed by a red production version) I rode for X-Street and were then used on a few bikes afterwards. They were rushed over from China and weren't even lacquered!

There need to be more subliminal messages in trials vids . Edit: Awesome vid, really love your style Mark and Ali+Hex = pure win. So how long before the full 'Blackpool Ain't Ready' DVD?!

You just get redirected to paypal.com/uk anyway.

Looks legit to me. It shows that you're logged in at the top, are you sure it wasn't already logged in on someone else's account or something? Saying that, card details usually give you the last 4 digits, rather than XX 34 or whatever.

Fairly sure you're talking about Neil Lemon but it's the Isle of Wight not the Isle of Man. My link

Just to go against the grain here, I can see exactly where Chris is coming from. A crown race is designed to sit on the crown of the fork, where the load is taken by the two flat surfaces. From what's being described the crown race is unable to seat properly so any load is being passed through a circular point load (does that make sense?) rather than through a surface. Doesn't sound ideal to me, although I'm well aware of how awesome and strong the forks are.

Am with Rich who's with Ali. Gilles, Benito, Kenny et al. have all done bigger and more difficult hooks.

Not really an RIP thread 'cos the dude was a complete f**king nutter but not sure quite what it means for the future. In other news he was brilliant in Team America. You are worthress, Arec Barrwin!

Short but sweet.

Aww, shucks .
