fancy a new (push) bike
feenix:
Riding a Marin Quake 7.0 - well, was, until I busted (again) the bottom bracket bearings. Hardtail, 24/7 cranks and chainring - DMR 12's (got some great shin scars), azonic handlebars, XT rear mech (8spd), Hopes front & rear, XT 2-finger brakes. Running Tioga factory DH tyres. Now hanging up in the old mans garage. :(
Old bike had a 'snowflake' front wheel - leet. :wink:

Been out earlier on the 'yellow bike'
Might even go out for a run :shock: later this afternoon, got to get fitter for the next 'cross', as I expect some of my work-collegues to come & spectate/heckle (as it's in Wakefield)
Hence I can't give them any reason to complain
Ja1983:
i have a specialised hard rock, on marazoochi bombers... used to be out all day everyday, then just weekends/commuting since passing my driving test in 2001 i`ve only ever seen the odd weekend... when my defender broke i thought it would be a good idea to difg it out and ride the 10min drive to work... 40mins the night before... following morning i got up, made it out of the estate and halfway up the first hill before i aborted the mission due to sore ringpiece....
never suffered that so badly when i was out all the time, amazed how much more difficult it was, sure this is why i`ve always been so slender... time to get chubby now tho!
would like to get on it again in the summer.. but so little free time now :(
have an orange clockwork (vintage!) in france, my dad has a saracen with the ovaltech chainrings... not sure if they actually work or just make you think they do....
