    Model Kits

    I have been searching google for hours now trying to find somwhere that sells model kits but without any luck. I am after either motorbikes (I would love a crosser or trials one if they exist?) or racing cars, the bigger the better, I just want somthing to build and possibly paint because I need somthing to do! so if anyone knows any shops that do these kind of things, can you let me know please. Ta (a very bored) Al
  2. good luck finding an inner tube that will hold it :o too late
  3. oh my god!!!!!! koxx have stolen my frame design!!!!1111!!11 I must have done that design over a year ago, Tarty tryed to build it in CAD but then decided it wouldnt work too well as the bb shell would fall off. Oh, and the site is crap, I went on once and I wont be going on again :o
  4. what were the results from last years outdoor champs? there was no coverage about it whatso ever!

    VERY good riding! I had only started riding at 15 and I still cant do stuff like that at 20 :- top stuff (Y)
  6. mine is currently sitting in pieces after the left tab snapped off (the bit the fork sits on), its proving to be a royal pain in the ass to get a new part. I dont blame it for breaking though, it happened when my forks snapped at the disk mount and flexed forward, not many hubs could withstand that. I am sure mine cost me more like £20?

    Widebars

    wide bars Pro: good controle opens up your chest, so can breath more air (dubious) Con: wider bars make you tired quicker (try doing press ups with your arms far apart) can possibly snap easier heavier cant fit through tight areas Narrow(er) bars Pro: ergonomic (to get a starter measurment, do a press up in the most comfortable position and measure how far apart your hand are) lighter less likley to snap can fit in narrow areas Con: not as much controle chest is more closed, so less air (again dubious) I have found a happy comprimise at 27.5"
  9. I think that bike fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down then fell in a puddle of uglyness. interesting forks though :P
  10. To go with the origional topic. Frame: got forks: Global titanium stem: Global titanium bar: Easton carbon dh headset: CK titanium front hub: CK diskotech front rim: Sun singlewide drilled with fancy titanium holes (just kidding :( ) Spokes: titanium ones from whoever makes them rear hub: CK classic, fun bolts, steel freehub body rear rim: Sun double wide Spokes: titanium again cranks: middleburn with super pro bash isis bb: RF titanium pedals: Assault front brake: Magura marta sl with +20 adaptor and hope mono6 ti 180 rotor rear brake: Magura hs33, magura hosing, xtr booster, heatsink pads, cnc lever blade rear tyre: Kenda Blue Groove 2.5 Stick-E front tyre: Kenda Blue Groove 2.1 Stick-E cassette: Shimano Dura Ace Mech: Sram (the nice carbon one) chain: Connex titanium shifter: old xtr Gear cable: Nokon grips: Odi lock on that would cost a bomb, wouldnt be the best bike though
  11. yes I do ride on my own most of the time (weekdays), I am building it because there is sod all to ride without being able to drive anywhere.
  12. I am in the middle of building a trials course, I have collected 35 pallets, a 20ft long telegraph pole and some over wooden things I found in the basement. I am hopfully going to get lots more pallets, railway sleapers, wooden moulds, cable reels, fence posts etc etc. I am gonna be having them in my field which is on a slope, so its gonna take ages to get it all sorted out, but then I will have uphill and downhill runups at things which is good practise.
