  1. don't forget that the banks aren't completely full of stupid people. Some banks will be keeping their interest rates artificially low to try to convince people with your view that they are the safe option. Luckily for me, i only have £23 in the bank, and don't get paid till the 6th so I have nothing to lose at the mo! haha.
  2. kudos to the editor of that one
  3. Jarrod, if it's a bike shop interview you WILL know the basics when they ask the questions. Be calm, you'll be fine. They might ask you things like sizing, like "what size wheels should a bike for a 12 year old have?" and stuff like that. But if it's only the basics you've forgotten, they are easily learnt again and you can put that across during the interview.
  4. Pocket Rocket - Lightning Strikes and Rainbows
  5. It's a trials bike, they get battered. Even with the greatest care, there is no such thing as "excessive wear" after 8 months. Unfortunately, this guy doesn't have a leg to stand on.
  6. That's the first mod vid I've watched the whole way through in years. Nicely done. The editing is a bit annoying in places, but generally good
  7. Ride it till it snaps, seriously great frames and if you enjoy it you might as well keep it going..
  8. another vote for ebuyer and I'll add one I used to use quite a lot - novatech The sites that don't quote VAT straight away normally do that because they sell mainly into businesses - who can claim the VAT back as a business expense. Just check which price you're looking at
  9. I had a quick google and then a comparison on tartybikes, and found that the Revell Stock is pretty close in measurements. I know of nothing closer. The geo on that can be adjusted to 1035mm wheelbase and 390mm chainstays. Can't imagine it's got much, if any, bb rise but I don't know enough about it to be honest. Why not try and dig out an ES3?
  10. This domain name isn't right? I'd be interested in seeing the site before I sign my life away!
  11. I presume you mean the crank is rubbing on the cylinder What size BB are you running now? In what frame and with what cranks? We're more likely to be able to recommend a good BB which isn't too long with that info. On topic, I have used all 3 and never had a problem with any of them. I always reach for tartybikes first just due to their popularity I think.. Nothing wrong with Select and T-UK though.
  12. I was thinking about doing that or not really, not sure. With a new account a fresh start can be made - not that I was a DK or anything but it might be nice to be anonymous. I guess if I get bored of waiting I'll give OBM a shout. Cheers.
  13. Pretty much exactly what I was thinking while I was reading through. But if you're set on getting the T-Mag then good luck to you, I know how frustrating it can be to have to wait to find another good deal. One piece of advice would be not to worry about what needs upgrading at the moment as you sound quite new to the sport. Give it a while to learn what you need to upgrade before just chucking extra money at it.
  14. Hi all, Not necessarily "new" to the forum, but I forgot all my details so here I am in NMC - that's a new experience! Hopefully being limited to posting in here for the time being will let me help out some of the newbies. Looking forward to getting back in the main forum - but don't take that as me rushing you mods /JD
