Just stopped by today, guy seems sound and a lot of sexy stock in there. I'm taking the Commencal in next week to try and get the gears sorted so will let you know next week ;)

Great to see a local shop though, bikepro have always been really helpful, but have pretty much sucked at getting my gears sorted on nearly every bike I've had over the last few years (the only thing I can't get quite right myself - still trying to come up with a genius replacement for the rear mech, other than selling everything I own and getting a rohloff ;) - one day I will have it sussed! ).

Wicked! I'll come over the next time you're all playing and keep an eye on the forums for the next event. I may potentially be able to get some mates from notts to come down in the future, but obviously that won't end up being particularly regularly.

If I could borrow a bike a few times that would brilliant! I'm looking at a beat up fixie to do up on gum tree at the mo but the dudes not answering his phone which doesn't help! Any excuse to built another bike is a good one ;)

Thanks again.

I'd be really interested in coming down to check it out. So it would be good to have a demo day to get people interested. post up about it on the cycle blogs, Facebook, critical mass etc and maybe even print out some cheap ass home printed flyers to drop into local bike shops. if you do this a few months in advance it might help build up a few more people.

I'd love to get involved but finding room for a third bike will be a challenge in a one bed flat! But an excuse to build a new one would be good!

Is it cool to just come down and check out what it's all about one Sunday? I'm only down the road in Moseley so not far.

Yeah I had some on my last build, they're very thin and light, but once built seem very strong, considering I'm a bit of a lard ass aswell. I wouldn't be doing any drops of anything other than a curb on them personally though as they were so thin (although I have nothing to compare too other than MTB rims so this may be usual road rims).

But having said that I was used to burly halo SAS rims on 3" tyres before that.

The ride one them is also extremely hard !! Could have been linked to the aluminium frame and fork too, but the standard profile rims I'm riding now on my giant seek 0 feel a million miles more comfortable, and still with an aluminium frame.

If you like to ride with as little flex as possible they're great and do look sexy as hell, but was way to hard for my personal liking, depends what your into to be honest.
