  • Yeah Tony is really good. Went with him probably 10 years back.

  • Sam and Pedal Progression are great - in Bristol.

  • As in you would buy a cannondale?

    I've had 2, and still got one.

  • nice. which models?

  • Neither were mountain bikes ... a Supersix Himod, and a CAAD10 (which I still have)

  • Other than the answer being a Cotic or an Orange this might go someway to answer your questions-

  • Campbell Coaching are very good

    Based in Afan, I believe

  • Commencal Metas are good fun. And good value
    Personally, I looove Turners, no horrible push-fit (shitty) bearings, just nice re-packable bushings, DW link.... Blinkin' pricey though, so you'd have to go very second hand

  • I can show you some fun routes.

  • Anyone interested in a 2013 Kona Taro frame, 18"?

    Related: new Cotic Solaris is out today. Best orange colour, plus plenty of zits.

  • Odd how they've added a pair of bosses on the underside of the downtube on the new BFe but not on this.

  • Less room in the main triangle on the BFeMAX?

  • True. SolarisMAX is the obvious candidate for fitting a full frame bag to so an extra mount on the underside rather than doubling up on the top would’ve made more sense (in my mind at least).

  • IS rear disc mount? It's like 2005 all over again

  • IS rear disc mount?

    They're fairly common on steel frames, I've got one on mine, it works.

  • Here's my vid of the first time I went to see Tony at UK bike skills with a bunch of mates. It's a good illustration of the repetition of similar jumps and drops gives you a chance to fine tune your technique (these are all separate shots, no re-use of the same video) and the progression that is possible during the day e.g. I saw the wall ride at the start of the day and thought no way José but by the end of the day it just felt natural to ride it

  • Had a very enjoyable 1st 4hrs out at Swinley on the bike yesterday.
    Began to get some average flow going.
    Lots to improve. Will be back there.
    Also keen for anyone who is happy with a distinctly shit rider following them down things on weekend mornings for the foreseeable future.
    Bike is frankly insanely good.

    On that note. Where could I catch a train from/to Vauxhall that I could ride for a couple of hours in the morning on a weekday before work?

  • I do not know my onions but..

    Is there a reason the new Solaris Max doesn't have a bottle cage on the seat-tube? Looks like there's space for at least a small bottle and side-loading cage.

  • Dropper post insertion and cable routing interfering?

  • Because you can put 50 bottles on the down tube?

  • I guess my complaint's mostly aesthetic. Two bottles on the downtube makes me feel uncomfortable.

    Love the jazzy blue paint though!

  • Bike is frankly insanely good

    Did you ever reveal what this bike is?
