Civilian?

;)

2013 new model

...maybe

Get a Foundry, far better than those over priced Civilians.

what CX tyre for the Hell of the North next weekend?

should i go for the Continental Cyclo X King, and in which case the 32 mm black chilli or 35 mm standard rubber one?

am looking for a tyre that will run well on the road and give grip on muddy bits too

Dont know about the Hell of the North. But kenda Small block 8s are my favourate tyre for multi-use.

I have a pair of foldable 32s (I think) in the parts bin unused from a CRC sale (where like 60% off). If you want them PM me and I'll post for whatever I paid for them.them

2013 spec Civillians sound great
They aren't expensive for my mind

Plus they look way better than anything else in and around the price

^ link?

no links - I've just been talking with Tyson about it.

He's sending me some info start of next week hopefully.

It will be available in belt drive I know and bb30

any pics? I had email convos with them early in the year bu decided against it mainly because of the lack of value with the tubing choice and importing it .. otherwise great bikes

Interesting. Keep us updated.

135 spacing plz. So you can just drop in 29er wheels.

And nothing made by Quando anywhere near the bike.

That how it all start off, once a company released it to the mere mortal, everything else follow suit.

It's the future I tell thee.

Reckon the chain would stay on with no guide?

The wheels made the disc look very tiny.

Felt have their own hydro set-up too;

XX1 innit. Designed to run a single chainring without chain guard.

^Which I assume has a clutch on the rear mech.

Plenty of small manuacturers are getting into the big tooth xx1 chainring act.

I have the spec sheets and stuff for the 2013 civillians, if anyone is interested, it's a pdf, so cant link, but can pm it I think...

it's a strict run of 100 pre-orders
