I bought a Leeson a few years ago, then sold it on once I'd wasted money on it Have you? Welp, I do not currently own any sort of bicycle here in Korea. I had a BMX at one point, and a fixie (that thing flew) but I sold them all. In Nottz I have a white Ciguena 24 frame. I think about it fondly, but I'm in no danger of building it up from here, so we're safe. If I did move back to the UK, I imagine it would start getting assembled somehow.

Innit, I started Judo soon after I moved to Korea and a year later I went for a hike. There were wooden steps to walk up most of the way, so I ran up them and got to the top and I thought, 'Why are my lungs not on fire right now?'

manuel Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Switched my locking diffs on my trx4 so the rear locks first with front open, added some heavy beadlock wheels (which also look cool) so I could sort the saggy foams and rebuilt the shocks TLDR - my rc Land Rover can do drifting and doughnuts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Finally sold my trials bike, buyer didn't even try use the 'make offer' button on ebay, sold for full price. Took the money and bought a fatbike. There's lot of groomed trails in winter here, all in riding distance from me. But what I only just realized is I'll be able to bike on the St. Louis River when it freezes over this winter (so long as I have some snowmobile tracks to ride on). Access to the river is right on my doorstep. It's gonna make more some confusing Strava maps. So long as I don't fall through the ice, it's going to be an amazing winter for me this year, normally I just sit at home playing video games, drink and do f**k all until March. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maintenance Justice Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 A friend in San Francisco shipped over a bunch of American 'Candy' in exchange for a bunch of British classics (what do you think the Americans will make of chocolate limes?!) She sent pumpkin pancake mix which may well end up in the Angry Thread. Tbc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trails are groomed however you have to have at least 4" tires @5psi to ride them, otherwise you dig grooves in them and f**k up everything for the cross-country skiers.

Revolver Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Okay, logical. Here in Korea so many people have fatbikes and just have them to ride around on. I do not know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I was about to start a new job at the time and was, sigh, spending money before I had it.

Stephen Morris Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 It’s about the only good news of 2020.

Everyone's had slightly different extensions put on and makes it look absolutely nuts. Such an organic looking development of something so inorganic and designed for primarily with functionality:cost in mind. Is that the EPDM stuff? I nearly went with that until I went full-timber.
