I hope you're not insinuating that a certain member has been stretching the truth are you?!

*Sigh*. Don't come to Britain it's full of f**king grammar Nazis. Edit: But actually reading Nick's post that's quite a depressing view of life. It depends who you are, how much attention you paid at school and how hard you're willing to work. England has a lot of idiots? Sure but so does every other country in the world. The lazy buggers who play the system and sponge off the government are annoying but they don't affect me and I don't worry about them. Improving means testing and getting people back in work won't lower taxes so what does it matter? Buying a house- if a couple are on minimum wage and struggling to make ends meet then they either need to accept that it's unreasonable to be able to buy a £250k house ever, try and get a better paid job or look for support from the government through the system that is there to help them. My wife and I both have pretty good wages but still don't have masses of disposable income after paying income tax, a good sized mortgage, council tax, national insurance etc. but we will still take over 15 years to pay off the mortgage even with regular overpayments. We both worked hard both academically and professionally to get there though and I'd do it all again if I had to. Overall I think Nick's got quite a low view of the UK when it's not that bad. It just depends where you live I guess. Move somewhere reasonably nice and people will make eye contact, say hello and be friendly guaranteed.

Agreed, far from proper old school.

Onza Limey4 24" Prototype - Video Added!
monkeyseemonkeydo replied to Joe Papasnap Maher's topic in Bike Pictures
This exactly. Frame looks exactly like every other plain 24" pure trials out there. Onza really should look into a dual disc Limey 324... -
To be fair, the quality of metal used in the older levers (looked like an aero inside for anyone who's never broken one) I'm quite glad they went to techy plasticy stuff.
-
White forks though... That makes me sad.

The most creative thing you have ever ridden

Lol, yerp that'll be me. Still got a 2011 Fourplay Team and ride when I can but not as much as I used to! -

Yeah, took a few attempts but I got up it- straight up to both wheels too, none of these cheaty hooks . -
Really? Damn.

But you still need to carry a tube and pump in case of punctures. All seems a bit pointless to me.

Is that because of the cool name?

Need help identifying this frame please.
monkeyseemonkeydo replied to How Original's topic in Bike Chat
I'm going to go ultra cool and run a 29er front with a 650b rear, so there. Not really. -
Who are you telling to chill out? ()

Pretty much a facepalm moment there...

I tried Googling the answer to the first question and still couldn't find the answer. I'm calling BS on the site...

You must know Rob and Danny. Everyone knows Rob and Danny. -
Or otherwise something from here?

Keep telling yourself that! But really, I guess it depends how smooth you are. It might last years or it might last a month if you land hard and case a few times.

I was wondering that too! -
But don't be surprised when it cracks...

Looks about 19" maybe (easy to check...) and worth maybe £30. -
That's it- I take it there's a little booklet that has all the answers in it and you just have to remember them, I did it quickly this morning and got 10/24 in 4 minutes and quite honestly don't know whic ones I got right and which ones I got wrong they were so obscure and for the most part irrelevant. Edit: Actually, is that really the official practice test thing? Surely it should be in a .gov.uk domain?

Gearing looks incredibly light in that first vid.
