Insomnia posted this a couple of days ago about his Marino. I don't know how long it took to build it. More than two weeks though. Ordering a custom frame shouldn't be a 2 week job though. I don't think it matters how long it takes as long as there is good communication between the customer and builder and I think Marino fails pretty badly at that.

Have you ordered something James?

I ran 18/13 on my Inspired mk1 with 175mm cranks which I felt was trialsy. Wanted to go to a 12.

I like Radiohead but I thought it was a bit weird to call it joy ride with the nice sunny weather then use that song. Nice log ride!

Whats standard length cranks? What have you got?

I think because the mk1 has longer chain stays 22/18 would be ok for that but if your going for shorter chain stays like the Arcade then maybe go for 22/17? It's because it's more responsive on the rear with shorter chain stays so you can get away with a harder gear ratio.

What bike have you tried them on?

22/18 is going to be very light. The Arcade is 22/15 but I understand that might be too hard for some people. 22/16 is what Inspireds usually come with and that seems like a good compromise between static and speed.

Brilliant!

It was one angle shot on an evening just for fun. Your expecting too much!

Too windy for me. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2644688

f**k yeah, I love you Chris Childs!

I'd just advise you to get strong stuff and have higher pressures for landing gaps to 90 and enjoy it

I'll come along probably!

My g/fs got me a Hope stem and I accidentally looked at a box which had a Phoenix Riders sticker on. Giving it away Ian! Merry Xmas everyone! Excited for foods, seeing family and old friends.

I forgot about that rail ride in Hudds and how nice the Arcade looks with silver rims e.t.c Loved it!

This video still makes me want to get out and ride. Damn you Yorkshire weather! Hope your recovering ok Ali.

Sikth back together

Looking where your going rather than down at the floor is the main thing that helps me. I'm still battling to master them. It's just about practicing them a lot I think. Between spots e.t.c.

Arcade bars Looking forward to some more time with them this weekend

Had tickets to see Jamie Lenman on Saturday. G/f was coming from a work thing in London but someone jumped in front of a train near London Euston station so the train network was chaos. We didn't end up going. Pretty gutted after just reading the Reuben songs he played on the night

If you look back on page 18 or something Mark says 22/16 will work and that Ali is using it. 22/17 would be lame.

Try 22/16. I ran 18/13 on my foreplay and could have probably gone to 18/12....

Hope long did you have those on for? Nukeproof Neutrons have stronger pins I reckon and just feel better.

Lovely smooth style. Made everything look easy
