that NBR dude Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 [drool] Dave Marshall in a Lycra One Piece [/drool]hehe we were discussing that on the way back from picking it up, and I think the general theory was, Dave would never be seen in a Lycra jump suit , nor me for that matter.I quite like the Gold, think it looks nice and different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Dave,A handy tip for you to save you smashing mudguards to pieces. Take the bolts out that hold the rear mudguard onto the stays and replace them with cable ties. So when you (eventually ) flip it, it snaps the cable ties and not the mudguard...it'll save you a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you (eventually ) flip it, it snaps the cable ties and not the mudguard...it'll save you a fortune.Good plan . Although the guard itself has already been cracked and repaired with a bit of ally riveted to the guard. But yeah, have the feeling the bike's going to end up upside down a few times so zip ties are definitely a good idea . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
