Being a masive anchorman fan (who isnt?) i found this absolute quality, great stuff

A few years back me and a friend rode back from Felixstowe,suffolk to Colchester,Essex as we missed the last train. its about 28 miles ,took hours.It was pissin with rain and stormy. One of the crapiest situations ive ever been in, being so far away from home and knowing we had to ride it.

I remember the first bike show i went to, think it was 2002. I just watched Ed Tounge pretty much all day, and it really made me appreiciate the more streetier side of things. I think i think he has been an inspiration to alot of street riders but seems to always be forgotten in things like this. Maybe because hes not around so much anymore. Never the less a truly awesome rider back in his day.

Basically when i had my curtis the dropout closed up abit so i decided to bash my brand new chris king in the frame without really thinking about it. Then i brought an inspired whacked the wheel in and for ages the wheel kept coming out of place. I then realised that due to me whacking the hub in the old frame it had made the end of the axle oval shaped, hense coming out of place. So i brought a new axle for the hub which is just a qr version chris king axle, and im still having the same problem. Seems that as the axle was ovalised it has worn at the frame abit. So whats the answer? Using a hub with quick release just dosent hold the wheel in place, its not a great deal to be honest probs about 1-2mm of play but its annoying. Will using a hub with big old bolts that i can tighten with allen keys make this any better ,or is it not going to make much difference? Any help would be grand Nick

Liked that a whole lot more than expected. some really fun looking stuff to ride there aswell.

Wow what a difference a few new parts can make. looked awesome to start with but looks more complete now, if that makes sense. Looks like such a fun ride. Nick

Paul, lets be honest, we go years back.Can i have your forks Oh F**king Ace job btw looks awesome Nick

Ive just read all of this, at 4am, on my night shift in what i can only describe as the f***ing scary hotel that i work in.lots of stories when i get time. Nick

To be honest i think they ride sweet, but the drop outs are really wide /weird from what i remember i know my friend has had problems with his.

Print the logo off their website and take it somewhere to be made? http://www.pashley.co.uk/images/pashley-logo.gif Nick

Just to bump, as there was another one of these threads kicking about. Iv scanned these pages and will add some of you guys when I get in, so if you get an add from La_bear86 it is I. Nick

On another note, there was an advert for guiness world record program on sky1 and there was a clip on there of someone hopping down some rails only like a 4sec clip, anyone see that? or has that been and gone, and already discussed?

Ipswich is awesome for everything if you know where it all is ive been riding there 6+ years and know it inside out. You`d prefer ipswich , unless you want to ride gey rocks all day

Will there be 24" forks available aswell, i mean with v brake/4 bolt mounts??

Im 6`4 and i get along with mione fine, and as many have said its the most fun iv had on my bike

Just right click> get info then rename them manually?? Nick

Awesome , really enjoyed it . Makes me want to go ride, few videos seem to have that ability. Top stuff

Cool good to know, what you need for the bike i might be able to help out .

Ben what the f**k you live in colchester now?? Cool, yea might come out for abit .

So this is what youve been working on for months, looks ace . Might by luke one for his bday haha.

That the one on barracks street isnt it? There is better one in town. Opposite the old cinema, looks like a cafe from the outside but inside its a buffet style restaurant. Its awesome loads of dishes to choose from, as much as you can eat for like £6 during the day.

Same

Not you , you nugget

Edge tat looks ace, much respect for that. Your always going to get people jabbering on about it, like that idiot i few posts above, its because they havent got a clue about it. Looks ace though. Nick
