Say Hello

Hello all! My name is Andy and I live over near St Helens, often in the city though as I've got friends there. I'm 21, and a guitar maker/repairer (www.darkmatterguitars.com)
Just finished my new bike...

Terrible photo, but she rides like a beaut. Mainly getting used for the pub/post office run at the moment

that looks sweet, no toe clips?

no toe clips and a saddle angle that discourages producing children???

someones got a good dentist AND a good urologist!!!

good i don't think children are a good idea

I tried clips, but I can't get along with them. I've got size 16 feet, so even with large clips I still end up with the ball of my foot behind the pedal axle, and the quill at the side of the pedals sticks in to my foot.
I must admit the saddle angle looks a little funny on that photo but it's no where near that extreme in real life. I think it could be a product of the angle from which I took the photo.

children are fantastic - they're the future

btw "Dr Chan" yes.thank you.

really i don't think grown ups are a good idea but unfortunately that's what kids grow into eh?

I've considered going clipless, but I can't get the shoes in my size for reasonable money

Nice forks on the new one Nasty. I'm looking for something similar if you rate them.
Also, how much you looking at for the front arrospok?
I'll pop down tonight for a bit but I got to head off quite early.

At Stephen. Hows that Cinelli stem doing for you? I was going to cop one a while back from Fresh Tripe but a load of people told me they were housebrick-heavy and stiff as fuck? Still look good though.

cinelli alters creak like my knees, and you can only get them in odd sizes

looking for 250 ovno for arspoke

forks - theyre electrical taped aluminium dolans :)

just get a carbon set...

I think my christmas list just invented itself this year, thanks Nasty.
I might have it off you a little bit later, say a few weeks. Unless someone else is going to jump on it consider it mine.

I might just do that, the stock forks on my Charge are ugly as shit. It's probably not a popular opinion and I'm sure they're probably pretty shite, but I really like the look of the forks on the 2006 Langster. They're stealthy as fuck!

Is that grey frame with ther mash sticker for sale?

like flies round shit!!! no enquiries for months then two in the same five minutes!!!

ok...

mecha - you got dibs on that front - you wanna see it tonight??? i got a a whole heap of carbon forks from wrongstar upgrade (FULL carbon) to wolf's from a cervelo, to time hsc3's - all for a oner each - these are at least £200+ each... all good nick etc... all 1"1/8th...
andy - the grey frame is my ghetto polished dale - and is NOT for sale, sorry
