that's a lovely looking bike... a steal at 200

thanks again for your trouble but going to have to leave it... hope one of the dibsers comes up trumps

41" LONG WITH THE LEAFS DOWN 63" LONG WITH THE LEAFS UP AND 14" HIGH

it does have marks and knocks, i have a set of nested tables which we've stripped back and it's definitely worth the effort

cool - thank you. i'll check tonight and let you know tomorrow

cheers. could you give me dimensions? need to check the flat...

is the ercol drop leaf still available? could be interested...

beautiful. look how long the back end is!

lovely classic trails machine, good job that man

ha yes - i bet those profiles are 180, and that's a 44 tooth sprocket if ever i saw one!

ooooh that trailboss is lovely... at the risk of sounding all trails dad, it's basically everyone who was riding trails in 98's wet dream...

Phhhhhhwwwooooaarrr!

beautiful bike. gotta love an Alan. light as a feather i'll bet. too small for me though

that's LOVELY

My Alan's much more tatty - but rides so well. light as a feather!

will be 220 well spent for someone!!

Let's not have a daddy dick trails off on the internet...

There's a dif between keeping trails secret and giving out directions, the place I help at is well known but I would never dream of giving out directions to it on the internet, it's just common sense, each to their own though I guess and in this case it doesn't actually matter.

I remember Pinner... old Union haunt...

All very fair. i'm just itching to get back into it i think. I'm just round the corner from Volt BMX so i guess i've no excuse but to sort myself out a new ride and get back...

which trails were you riding in the NW?
did you ever go to poynton trails?

those were the ones - me, chris butcher, andy schofield, barney (who went on to get a bit of coverage i think) then later people like ian moore and the woodier brothers. maybe we know each other????

I started riding BMX when i was about 16 or 17 (1996 or 97, can't quite remember) - just before trails became THE thing in BMX. it totally blew up around the summer of 1997, trails popped up everywhere and our trails became a bit of a hotspot - for Manchester/NW riders at least. But then street became the cool thing to do. I don't have a BMX anymore, largely because i moved to a big city, there weren't any trails, and I wasn't really ever interested in street riding. But if i ever get out of London - or if was able to find a spot to dig my own/help out with someone elses - i'd get back into it for sure

keep the faith, brothers

Christ in a bike!
The first rule of trails is not to give out their location... glad that's not the spot I dig at.

don't quote the rules of trails to me sonny

(adopts yorkshire accent) when i were a lad you were welcome to ride anyone's trails if you'd put a few hours in with a spade, and didn't trash any lips.

Really good trails usually survive because of successive generations of riders building them up and welcoming the next generation in, on that proviso.

If you want your trails to be a secret that's fine, but in any case, Pinner's secret has been out for at least the last 14 years (when i remember pictures in Ride)

whereabouts are they?

The first rule of trails is....you don't tell the world and his dog where they are.(

Nice one! i'm going to try to put a bike together (last thing i rode was a 96 hoffman taj, ah the memories) so may see you down there!

PS good luck in the exams

teddington eh... it's the other side of London but i might take a look. And i'm very happy to dig wherever i ride. could you send directions? PM me if you'd like.

Cheers for the tips boys. I'm moving out to Clapton shortly (not much scope for dirt in kings cross) and quite fancy finding a spot of waste ground or some woods furtehr out that way.

If anyone fancies it get in touch

It is fun, but nothing beats trails on a BMX.

Amen to that! Damn i miss trails. are there any near-ish London? someone give me a reason to build up another bmx and get back riding dirt...

Cheers for the tip. much appreciated

Apologies if there's already a thread with something similar. i ride a 54/54 single speed (i'm 6 foot but like my bikes a bit on the small size), but heard that i should be looking at a slightly bigger frame for a tourer (probably an old Dawes). Any thoughts? or is this just an old wives tale?

bargain!

That Vitus is beautiful... too bad it's already been dibbed.. and is probably a bit small for me :(

watch porn! new thread required i think...

Actually quick check - are the v8's standard thread? i know BMX pedals are sometimes different (for cheap one piece cranks)
