  1. looks rather nice. Wouldnt really say down hill. heavey XC and light freeride??
  2. Fords are good cars. I'd personally get something a bit smaller for a 1st car. The new fiestas drive nice. Id I had the money I'd but the same spec as the one I'm learing to drive in. Ace lil car Also how old are you? as the insurance will be steep. For me on my mums 1.4 Astra. 54 plate. it was going to cost me bout £2000. my mum was the named driver. But I wasnt prepered to pay that. Im 17 bwt
  3. Whats rong with a Hope mono or bulb?or just save it and get a Pro II
  4. Sure Ive seen them on eBay for like 1 or 2 pence. was a year or two back now though
  5. too much lube? or not enough? Don't use grease use a thing layer of XC chain lube. that kind of hub sould be serviced like ever 4-5 months I did with mine, By service I mean a clean and a relube.
  6. If you do GET a monty! there flicky as hell! After buying a long low bike I would happily get something more "bike" like "normal" wheel base. maybe 1080 MAX. chain stays maybe 380. I want something that I can chuck about like spin and manual. But I can to 10 foot gap-to-front on (slight exaggeration) SUppose i have all the time in the world to get a bike with a seat ! lol
  7. I had a pair of Fattys there were the only fork I ever needed untill Tuesday, When they cracked. Only after 4-5 years of use. There were so light too. The main reason they cracked was that I ran a 203mm rotor and done a lot of front wheel moves. But also Just above the disc mount there a small hole. it was only about 1-2mm big, but thye must have cracked there and spread all the way around. |TO be fair they were second hand when I got them! and I cant really see any echo forks lasting any longer with the abuse I gave my old fattys!!! Like my Nan would say "they dont make 'em like they use to"
  8. I like both! I prefer to drink Cider, But Gunisse and black! YUMM Ciders more of a Summer drink I feel. Like on a hot day with the BBQ etc etc
  9. Thats massive! I'm stick in a shitty box room! Not allowed to put shelves up because "the walls are poor!" say mum! MOVE HOUSE THEN!!! I'll post up later of my room! Needs a tidy like!!
  10. Hopefully will be driving and have a car! So get some work done to the (lower it, smoothed bumpers) If I get a Polo!!! Going to London for a week with a mate! 18th in May so have that. Was thinking of Amsterdam! Mum says NO!!! shame!!

Fattys! Cracked then the other day! Lasted about 5 YEARS!!!
  15. I do see what hes saying on some of the points! but he does pick out the minoraty. If we didnt have imigrants in the country we wouldnt be the same. I agree with the ones who want to have a better life and come over here so the sake of there children. But when there wanting to live in our astates around the country and put nothing back into the system its not right.
  16. Think there special order!!! Phone em all!!!
  17. Un fair dismissal?? Write to head office! I think thats pretty petty in my eyes! I pulled a bike off display yesterday. BOTH tyres were flat , bars were angled correct! and the customer sat on it and the seat moved Im a bit lazy like. Like its been so so quite lately.(Anyother store noticed that? Sold 1 bike last weekend!!!!!!) So there nothing to do! I dont look for sumat to do! I do nothing! - Either, have longer on my lunch break, sit on the loo and read nuts/zoo and text people. GO into the ware house and climb over the bikes on the top and look at people while texting. Or just mess about with things! And we dont get paid untill Next week I really need some clothes, bike bits and to pay for a huge bit of mahogany for m tech project!!!! (bout £250)
  18. If it's still in similar condition Id say £450 - £500 plus P&P
