  1. Because it's being sold by Select Bikes with a buy it now, it's a little different than some random guy selling something through an auction. Would be down to Adam as to whether he would honour the price match.
  2. He could if it was downhill... You seem to be forgetting Glen's one sick ass wigga with fixd skilllz brah.
  3. Scott Mills was being a right fanny about it yesterday afternoon getting all shitty about RATM and what people are trying to do. If I hadn't been driving I would've sent him a rather abusive text/email/message written in blood on page 666 of a bible.
  4. I retract my former statement... (Not the Venhill bit) .
  5. Harsh! I did think he was looking rather old though...
  6. Venhill are the importers. Might be worth a ring to Tarty though as they deal in Magura and tend to be a rather helpful bunch .
  7. If money's no object (which from your list it doesn't seem to be!), and purely for the Yin and Yang, I'd go for the Koxx Black Sky... There's something nicely symmetric about the thought of having a White Sky and a Black Sky in the garage to choose from! With regards your English- don't worry, your post is better than half of the kids on here!
  8. Will you be putting milk and cookies out for Santa too and hiding to see if you can catch him?
  9. No, Noir's gonna get his mate to take a photo of him (Noir) to prove who he is as he obviously doesn't have a camera or whatever. Pay attention people!
  10. Sorry, my post wasn't very clear. The text below the image refer to the other discussion relating to the BB shell and isn't aimed at the brake mount area/chainstays at all.
  11. V shaped cuts: The comments relate to the area where, in the BB yoke, the BB shell joins what is the yoke for the chainstays. If it were one piece it would be impossible to machine due to the acute internal angle and even if it were welded (if that were possible) it would still be an area of very high stress and likely spot for crack initiation.
  12. Interesting! That can't be cheap though! Are the bars pure carbon or are they sleeved? Edit:
  13. I thought it was common knowledge that he was Pere Pi's illegitimate child and he did, in fact, invent the act of breathing.
  14. 1 coat of lacquer is more than enough... And yeah, 400 or 600 grit wet and dry should be perfect.
  15. With regards the BB yoke: SHARP EDGES!! Get that shizzle smoothed out or you'll just end up with stress raisers and headaches. Also I hope you have access to a 5 axis CNC machine?! Other question is also with the brake mount. Are the threaded holes through or blind? If they're blind I can see you having trouble tapping them through the allen key access hole in the top. You've probably considered that but just in case . Overall looks good though! Edit: The 'SHARP EDGES' also stands for the dropouts and possibly the seatstay section too. Just whack some rads on there and you'll be laughing. Edit 2: There's a lot going on in there. Lots of corners and edges that just end abruptly at the lightening holes. If possible I'd try and smooth things off and make it 'flow' better in the design sense...
  16. It really makes me wonder the sorts of people who are designing these frames... I mean, come on?!!
  17. 29p?... That's less than 50c... You could find that down the back of the sofa I'd have thought!!
