  • Actually I've remembered it's Album-Orientated Rock, so you're wrong. Still a horrid 'flipchart and committee' bullshit term though.

    same as MOR.

    I think they are a bit like friendship bracelets. I had one of those when I was a child, I don't think I was given it by a friend though, so maybe it was just a piece of string I had round my wrist. I did like it though, it was luminous yellow.

    You need to speak to BasgettiRob

  • "no more nails",... I still see loads of nails about.

    snake boards

    nor fingerboards.

  • back in the day yes. nut not these days. things have changed a lot.
    what i dont get is why people want alu bike frames in the first place unless its full suss mtb.

    They're cheap. They're light. They work.

  • yea i understand this. i just dont get it. maybe ive just never ridden an alu bike that isnt really harsh is all. i quite like the look of langsters though. maybe that should be in the i confess thread...

  • I owned the Cuntster.. murtle's old Langster. Did the job although was too small for me really. Mal owns a Langster. I raced on a alu Peugeot and did 200k+ rides with no issue. I ride a Kinesis winter frame now.. and did 275k at this years Paris-Roubaix sportive. What I'm saying is, people who complain about alu frames being harsh, are talking bollocks. Oh, before that I had an alu Ribble which did a fuckload of miles everywhere. Alu frames are great.

  • good alloy frames over those cheapo carbon things that people rush out to buy with their £1k bike to work vouchers.

  • I don't see what the problem with alu frames are. Most people are probably just using shit saddles/badly set up contact points IMO

    Leave my P-X alone you big meanie! You smell.

    I've been riding an alu Giant OCR3 for about 6 years. I'll concede that there are times when a bit of steel would be much nicer, but most of the time it's fine. I think the cheap carbon fork keep my wrists and arms from being shredded, but harshness is as geometry as well as material. I've got nice wide bars and a long reach, which makes for very comfortable riding for me.

    Out of all the bikes I have ever ridden I have had as many steel as Alu frames, The Alloy frames have been better IMO ... If it is a cheap alloy frame it will be horrible. Most of my bikes now have steel frames but that is because they are second hand cheap frames, not because they are better.

    I have 3 alu alloy frames. No steel. Too heavy. Interesting that seat posts, brakes, chainsets and bars are generally preferred alu alloy.

  • ... obsession with everything being light.

  • a steel frame doesn't have to mean heavy lugged 531 small diameter stovepipe that has more flex than jordans knicker elastic.
    modern oversize steel frames are nothing like that.

  • Ok. Maybe your right about modern steel frames.

    I do think iron based alloys are not as good as aluminium based alloys.

    As they nearly always corrode and are generally heavier.

    I have never got the phobia around alu tho.

    (Maybe my frame will crack then I'll understand)
