Ordered a mountain bike today. If it comes before then I might take it down to Thetford as turn out here hasn't been high.

Did you go for an Orange in teh end?

• #258
Nope, a bargain, sub-£300 Fire Mountain, which I will slowly lavish with Hope parts in red as I break the original spec piece by piece with reckless thrashing.

My cycle2work runs out in August.. I'm either going to get some cheeky Steamroller build (if I haven't got one in the stable already) or very tempted by the Orange P7, which floats nicely around the 1k mark.. with the invisible monthly deductions it's like getting a free bike a year. Joy.

How much do you have to pay at the end of the year to keep the bike?

We agreed on £30 quid. Depends on your work though, can be up to 10% of the value.

You're going to buy a P7? When was the last time you went mountain biking?

Jesus thats good.
I was really thinking about joining the c2w scheme but was building up my peugeot fixed at the time. I think though if I get any more bikes my mrs. is going to think twice about moving in with me!!
Also would anyone recommend a track frame, I'm thinking about stripping my peugeot and fitting a new frame.

Oh yes, bottom one is gorgeous, I think that they are like £550-£600 for F&F alone though :( Maybe I should post a new thread on this.

I recon a leader, the cinellis are all good, but ali... Depends on how smooth you are. The steel leader track frame and forks are uber juice!
I think it is the leader 722ts

Right, I'm expecting my MTB to arrive tonight. If it does, I'm going to Thetford. If it doesn't, I'm going for a road ride. Anyone welcome to either one. More than welcome. I'll give you a little cuddle.
Will post tonight to let you know if it arrived.

Who's in this Friday? I've spoken to Keppel and he said he's up for a spin if people are around.
Weather looks good, so anyone too lazy is going to have to come up with a new excuse...

You know me. I will be there with bells on...
Got a route planned yet? How's about out to Yarmouth, then back to the city on an alternative route.
Meet at 8 outside the Forum. Leave at 8:15... Nice distance. Try and hit 50 miles...
Names in the list
1: Sparky
2: Keppel
3: Pissed_Up_Pista
Sick. I am in... Do it nice and early? My mate had a load of left over ABS pip so I started making polo mallet heads, and stole a load of estate agents signs for wheel disks. If anyone has got any golf clubs/ ski poles holla up. Will start a thread soon.
