  1. The Vario Tibo XL with the Ashtonesque seat/mudguard was my dream frame back in the day. Mototrials style for the win!
  2. Hehe, Graham Swinerd's office is just up the corridor from mine at Soton Uni. All that's all well and good but it in no possible shape or form goes any way to support the Bible's version of God. The whole carbon based lifeform thing doesn't really hold much significance to me- it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if there are other lifeforms out there which are silicon based who breath nitrogen or anything else based on any other combination of elements which just 'works' for the particular situation which they find themselves in. I hear you/them but Christianity is still without question BS.
  3. Sounds better to me than spending eternity sitting on a throne praising God...
  4. So why the hell(!) do 2.1 BILLION people want to believe in him and supposedly follow the teachings of the bible?!! It's completely moronic. The only possible sense in it is to follow him because if you don't he'll smite you down and bring pestilence and famine to the world. Sounds like a pretty crap way to live your life to me.
  5. But in some ways why does it need to be more than a 'stick man argument'? If someone told me my car could fly I'd say 'don't be stupid, no it can't, I know it can't'. That's a stickman argument but in the cirumstances I don't think there'd be much need to expand on that. I know that's an over simplification but at the end of the day it is fairly close to my thoughts on the matter at hand. I'm glad you'll get there. Time heals all wounds after all . I told you he was an unt©. Edit: "The fourth living creature was like a flying eagle" (with six wings but covered in eyes of course). That would be like telling a snake that he'd have to crawl on his belly for the rest of his days. Oh, wait...
  6. The other option would be to buy some U channel in the correct width and then modify to the right height before welding on some plate to box it in. Would give the required 'tube' at a push...
  7. We use Smiths Metal Centres at work... probably worth a ring. They seem to stock 1.5" x 0.75" 16SWG in 6082... any use?
  8. Was just trying to be polite to Martyn (and Rowan)... but you're right- it's going to blow the Effect out the water.
  9. Sounds really good. Could put the Ashton full build to shame!
  10. Gotta disagree there. Zoot looks really good and looking forward to seeing the Limey 24 which would be the seatless proper trialsy version... Noooooooooooooooooooooooo... Pivotal BMX seats for the win.
  11. The blue with white looks really good- nice colour co-ordination between all the parts and the graphics etc and the Blade looks really good too with nice fresh graphics and again nice co-ordination with the bronzy/gold components. The riser bars also make a surprising difference to the aesthetics compared to the old polished flat Onza bars of old.
  12. I'm shocked and very pleasantly surprised!! These are a huge step forwards for Onza in terms of colour schemes and graphics. Good job Joe!
  13. PETERHEED!! Hehe, I grew up riding half of that stuff!
  14. I don't get the weirdheadposition.com ness... Looks like his heads in a fairly central normal kinda position to me!
  15. Only know one guy from around here who used to run one and I think he blew it up about 3 times in a year... That was on a Limey 26" I think but from what I gather the 135mm spaced hubs are worth staying clear from.
  16. 'Tune in next week for another exciting episode...' It's an apple, what do you expect? I'm just surprised it lets you view trials-forum at all without asking you to install iTunes first...
  17. 1998 Beta Techno with a bit of a change...
  18. 'Time doesn't heal' would be the correct way of saying that statement, 'Time don't heal' being a more 'street' version. However, the old saying is 'time heals all wounds' if that makes any difference to you...
  19. I ran a peg on the back of my Inspired for a while just for a laugh. Started by just using extra along 'unbreakable' bolts but because they were only M6 I thought it'd be a better idea to make a proper axle so turned up a custom stainless axle with proper M10 threads on the end to accept the peg. Worked fine, didn't snap the frame and was good fun! Didn't get in the way at all (if you're going to hit a peg while sidehopping you're doing something wrong) and just opened up the odd feeble or stall. In the end I didn't use it enough so took it off but just go for it! Vimeo Video -> Original Video
  20. I did once but felt guilty for the guy who then had to go through all the insurance claims etc to get his money back for something that wasn't his fault. I did complain enough to get the postie moved onto a different route though. f**ker knows not to mess now I tells you!
  21. You got your parcels didn't you? Sheesh. My postie went through a great time when he'd regularly leave my parcels on the doorstep (people walking past all day) regardless of whether a signature was required or not...
  22. Especially the premium services like Saturday express deliveries. It'll be too late now but you probably could've picked it up from the depot today rather than get it redelivered on Monday but... too late.
  23. Unfortunately I think it's down to Mr Hope deciding that the team kit would be that lovely shade of mucus green...
