I'm just not a Rockshox fan, I've always found them disappointingly mediocre. The Manitou Tower, Suntour Axon Werx and the couple of DT Swiss forks I've tried were all excellent XC forks.

I'd look at Manitou, DT Swiss or maybe a Suntour Axon over something Rockshox personally.

I'm really starting to love my Stanton, such a fun bike. Glad I made the return to a hardtail.

Given the way petrol prices are going, something with a larger engine makes a lot of sense.

Remappable to 737bhp and 804lbft, which would be enough I reckon. Just need £20k.

In the right colour the 612 Scaglietti is a pretty car.

Mainly electrical and homebrew LPG kit issues, the hydraulics were pretty well behaved. It did develop a rather large hole in the passenger side floor though and was pretty rough around the edges. The worst thing was sourcing parts, which would either cost the earth or take forever to find.

Glad I tried it though. I'd love an SM before prices go mad, but to replace that motor with electricity would be sacrilege.

@dicki 160bhp and they weigh fuck all, so they must go alright. EB110s are magnificent.

@TRA My last Citroen:

It was brilliant when it worked. Which wasn't as common as i would have liked.

The Ferrari FXXK: Because calling a car the Ferarri LaFerrari wasn't embarrassingly awful enough.

Time really must be a healer, because I want another Citroen:

Insane.

I'd dust that California off and roll it as is though. A slightly ratty, french-registered, yellow headlamped Cali has to be about as cool as it gets.

That looks Ace! Not feeling the chunky spacers though.

Very pretty! Could do with a black crank though.

For anyone looking a dropper post, Canyon are punting Reverbs out for £108 delivered which is a steal:

How about a manual Sport:

I hate the beige interior combined with the silver trim though.

^^ Love that Integra!

1500cc and 180bhp with twin superchargers and quad carbs. Fantastic!

Does seem good value, but I hate fake products.

I feel for that 964, but given my Beetle is in a similar state I guess these things happen.

I saw a 164 earlier so had a look to see if there was any nice ones about and there is:

.

The large quantities of black paint used, probable shill bidding and ridiculous descriptions says he most likely is.

Not sure what can be done about it, since reporting to ebay never seems to work.

A [picture tells a thousand words and in this case every single one of them is twat.

I'm in love...

Yeh, I'd assumed that, but what you need to know is the internal diameter of the frames headtube to get the correct cups. Looking at the orange site it seems to be a 49.57mm internal diameter straight headtube and comes with EC49 (external bearing 1.5" internal diameter) bottom cup and a ZS49 (Internal bearing 1 1/8" diameter) top cup which would correspond with the Hope H and 4 cups respectively.

Yeh, I'm guessing from a Mini?

Increasingly common now with big wheels and small tyres combined with British roads.

I like big tyres.

The Gyro looks to be a straight 49mm headtube, so an integrated bottom cup won't work. You need a 4 top cup and and F bottom. Merlin have 10% off Hope over £50 so it works out pretty cheap.

Add in a head doctor if you particularly want one, but I wouldn't bother.
Technically a headset press is the way to fit, but I've always had good results with freezing the cups, and tapping them in straight with a piece of wood and a hammer.

I'd choose Hope over CK for headsets, they're excellent.

Wow, that Quella thing seems likely to go tits up pretty quickly. Bet the owner thinks it's genius though.

@meconium That is properly lovely. Great work!

I'm struggling to decide on grip colour for my latest build. Orange, black, black with orange ano clamps? Nothing seems to work in my head
