  1. Cyclocross actually makes me slightly angry and annoying fixie videos definitely does.
  2. I think Dann∞'s beard and anal fixation has scared most people off.
  3. Ah fair enough. Yeah I've never really understood hard soft tops... Enjoy!
  4. How come it looks like the roof doesn't actually fit at the back? Doesn't seem to be sitting right on the passenger side...
  5. I kind of committed myself to this 2015 to the point where I used the missus eBay to get the bid to the reserve then outbid her to win it! The Chris King wheels and pimp colour matched rock shox stickers stung it for me! Will get some pics up once leisure lakes get me my charge spoon in limited edition green and black instead of the stealth they sent me! I'd never consider buying one new but second hand out made far more sense. Especially with 26 months 0% on the old credit card!
  6. Yeah, Elite Access is his company's name. That makes sense- I don't think I'd ever go non dual disc anymore either!
  7. Bessell's selling his Hex... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161929307867?ul_noapp=true
  8. Ok so after much contemplation I've just collected a 6 month old whyte t130 works scr complete with Chris King wheels. Keep looking at the canyon but the lead times on the spectral were long (delivery early May) and my contact with customer services in the UK seemed to consist of some bike illiterate person looking at the pictures on their website rather than actually helping. No thanks.
  9. Nope. You're physically higher but it makes very little difference to basic balance etc. Your feet might be like a mod with a +146mm BB but remember the height of the bars. A mod with a +146mm bb would need to have a 250mm x 40 degree stem or whatever to make it possible to ride (which would make it fine to balance- though still horrible to ride!).
  10. Donald Trump. Get in the f**king sea.
  11. All that work and still no bonnet? Call in the guys from Project Binky I say!
  12. Yeah, I've been starting to look a bit further afield. Giant Trance 1 27.5 isn't far off the spec and not much more than the Canyons and was also looking at the CannondaleTrigger 3 on Pauls but just don't like the frame design... Also had a look through Rose Bikes, YT etc. and am also wondering whether I should just stick with the Meta 55!
  13. Wow, that really is special! It was actually the tyres I was looking at :)
  14. This angers the OCD part of my brain... Shame on you Tartybikes!
  15. Just watching that gives me a headache! Incredible skills and unbelievable how much effort goes into something like that.
  16. Cool beans, cheers for that. I haven't looked too much into it and was going on the availabilities as shown on their site (Nerve 7.0 available within a couple of weeks) but if that's a total lie then I'll have a think! Waiting's not really an issue but that info is good to know.
  17. This sort of shit makes me angry... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-34933345 1. Why does he have his hazards on? 2. How long has he been in the middle lane? 3. Why doesn't he even attempt to avoid a collision when the lorry pushes into his lane? 4. What the f**k is he trying to do by claiming neck and shoulder pain? 5. What a fanny.
  18. Been thinking of updating my Meta for a while so have been looking around at what's out there. Grudgingly accepting that I'll probably go 650B and was looking at the Canyon range, possibly a Nerve AL 7.0. They look good and seem to be excellent value for money when you look at the specs. Any thoughts or experiences?
  19. Haha, probably not a bad call
  20. Make sure any prospective landlords don't find this thread...
  21. That looks like such a fun bike to have! I really fancy a sumo with some knobblies to go with it!
  22. Fair enough :). I've given up on my cheapo cable dropper and am just running a normal post again for now. Can't warrant £175+ on a 'proper' one, especially if they go wrong every few months!
