Hehe, cheers Sonja! I nearly looped out the first time I bunnyhopped it because of the change in geometry. It's definitely a bit heavier and different but certainly comparable! I guess in the end it's that little bit more focused at the street side of things which brings it that bit further from pure trials.

Bought this second hand the other day and have now got it set up just right. Most of it is stock with the exceptions of the Rohloff tensioner, drilled sprocket, SLX cranks, machined bash, 70mm x 25 degree Hope Stem, sawtooth rotors, Hope bar ends, Eclat seat and Trialtech singlespeed kit. Oh and grips. And headset spacers. But on the whole stock. Edit: more pics further down. Comments welcome .

The fact whenever they showed footage of the dash (showing revs not speed of course) the car was clearly in neutral pissed me off. Richard's Ferrari miraculously fixing itself in time for the race was also impressive, particularly since he made mention of the accident during the race when his car hadn't yet had the accident... Would rather have watched the new Sherlock.

And Danny did one ages ago for that recruitment place and Andrei did one fairly recently for Berocca. Smooth and good riding for sure but not exactly novel!

I'm not so sure... did you ever see a snapped ally Magura lever? Those things look like an Aero chocolate bar inside! Having said that I haven't used one of the 'modern' plastic composite levers so cant really comment.

Just got £50 for a random abandoned bike I found in the woods a few weeks back . Handed it into the police, waited 28 days then claimed it back and just flogged it for £50 cash! Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug5zKwJuWbU

Come on, the dude's got pink hair, purple walls and an Orange Skye with purple and green bits. The Hello Kitty plaster fits right in!

Yeah, and one that is guaranteed to have shitty stiff links from day one too...

It'll do something... It'll definitely increase drag and it looks like it's got a bit of camber to it so it will reduce rear lift a bit but then you knew that already .

And only £10000. Bargain...

The BC website specifically says that their discount works on sale items... 90% of Halfords employees seem to be complete morons, but then we already know this.

Pirelli's take on it is rather interesting- putting the blame fairly squarely on the teams for running tyres back to front at too low pressures and too high neg cambers...

We had Chris Boardman in the tunnel a couple of months back to film some snippets for the Tour coverage which is now being aired. Some good info put across: http://www.itv.com/tourdefrance/features/chris-boardman-ned-wind-tunnel-cycling-aerodynamics-airflow/ http://www.itv.com/tourdefrance/features/chris-ned-wind-tunnel-tour-de-france-2/

Same. It's entertaining in a moronic pointless kind of way but they need to stop trying to be funny. You can see the 'comedy' coming a mile off and it just doesn't suit them.

Lol.

He's not on the team but I bet he hasn't paid for the frame/fork/bars etc. and I very much doubt Hope have either so there's some need for a little recognition along the lines somewhere.

The Spooner also looks like it'd work better...

I R jealous.

Americans that don't even know their left from their right... Odd accident seeing as the guy in the Prius was on the wrong side of the road on what appears to be a closed road but the fact you have riders returning on the left sidewhile riders are still heading the other way, with no barrier or anything to separate it is also a bit stupid.

But it's only addition and division... I think you'd struggle to be a pizza delivery boy if you can't handle that!!

Martyn Ashton's new Inspired Hex rig blinged up with Hope goodness.

Fair.

Explain.

It's the first bike I've seen that doesn't look stupid with the Hope team green components on it too. Skye Team is droolworthy for me...

*Drool*... Prefer the orange but that is gorgeous.
