Is there any noticeable weight difference between braided hosing and conventional plastic ?

Really ? I really liked the look of the white proto that Mr.Ali . C was testin' and was kinda hoping for a 2008 release to replace my dying Base .

The copy appears to feature horizontal dropouts , and possibly a different hub spacing ala " modstocks" , thus neatly avoiding copyright infringements .

These cranks appear to have a 110 mm B.C.D ( bolt circle diameter ) , a useful way of ensuring that customers purchase purchase the same brand's accesories . Race Face do make bashguards , but it'd be a shame to leave the 'ard guard unused . How about the chainring itself - does that fit O.K ?

Improve your chess strategy , drawing and illustration , tidy your room / flat / house , pick up a well written book . Work on your bike - cleaning maintenance , lubrication etc .

...but seriously , tyres and bottom bracket are often overlooked .

Some awfully nice rooms being posted here , I get a kinda voyeuristic fascination , seeing these glimpses into the lives of the denizens of this forum . My desk , the fiery chasm from whence my posts are forged ... Book cabinet and print collages ... I ride a bicycle sometimes ... Pretty pictures ... Obligatory decorations ...

I have a whole bunch of MBUK s ( parents buy 'em , and I collect them whenever I'm in England . ) Was this a sticker , an illustration for and advert , reader submitted ? It's kinda faintly ringing a bell , so I'll have a flick through my older copies , any indication of approximately which year ? Incidentally - Awesome MS Paint skillz !

Superb - thanks for uploading this . Some of the world's top riders at the height of their skill , just incredible to watch .

It's Vincent Hermance having a well deserved sit down after sidehopping up onto the surface of Mars .

Killing Spree ! Um ... yup - I still play the original , and poor graphics aside , the gameplay and maps are still very impressive .

Pretty much correct , it's geometry seems to inspire streety , spinny riding and once the supplied bashplate is removed , not overly heavy . Mine ( shown in link in my Signature ) is stable and obedient on the rear wheel , and features some pretty clean welding , given how inexpensively they're now available . Apparently their geometry is similar to Echo's famous Pure frame ( previous version with seatpost . )

All this username changing is confusing .

Very nice - the simple ones look the best .

Superb shot , and a good lookin' bike .

Whoops , :$ Didn't occur to me . That said , the frame may well be aluminium , but I suspect that brake posts / mounts are usually steel ?

You've not accidentally set the power supply's voltage selector incorrectly ? Sometimes new ( therefore imported ) PSU are set to the voltage expected by foreign markets , and the retailer doesn't wish to open packaging before sale .

Google's not terribly helpful for this particular question , however THIS CHART might help give you a ballpark figure .

Oh boy - this is gonna be awesome !

All the expense , patience and accidents are worth the brief seconds when a move is performed correctly and effortlessly . The resulting release of endorphins binding with presynaptic areas of the brain causes a feeling of elation and stops me killin' hookers .

Actually I think it's admirable that you're prepared to work what is probably quite a demanding job at almost 17 years old . This , coupled with the fact that you intend to buy a car suggest that you're probably quite sensible ( Gu typhoon = good choice , better than mine :$ . ) My complaint was precisely that despite these positive points , you undersell yourself by ending sentences with unpunctuated " lol's " and terrible grammar . Apologies if I came across too vitriolic , but as a non U.K resident I struggled to learn your language and am amazed at how it's disregarded so easily by many English folks . For what it's worth , good luck - I hope you get the job .

An interesting insight into military life in what must be very hostile conditions . A genuine thank you for the often underappreciated and misunderstood work you guys do . EDIT : Wikipedia's entry on your regiment tells me that HCR incorporated the Blues & Royals , a friend of mine serves with them . May I ask whereabouts in Afghanistan you are stationed ( if operational security allows ? ) Do you feel that the population trusts you and understand the need for your presence ? Poorest country on earth , freezing at night , baking by day , exhausting and potentially lethal work - your hardship allows us to go about our comfortable lives and hop around on small , expensive bicycles . Thanks again .

Given that bicycle theft is pretty much the national sport here in Holland , I store mine in my room , surrounded by barbed wire and antipersonnell mines , with armed guards in a watchtower directing guard dogs with searchlights . And , uh - y'know , I live on the 14th floor .

Many thanks , Mr. Jones .

I rarely respond to sloppy writing , but EVERYTHING about your writing is wrong except where you encourage us to " post our knowledge . " Well to answer that - my knowledge of the English language exceeds yours even though I am Dutch . Make some effort .
