Yes I know it's a bit clean but it was the first night before we'd even started riding on a week long holiday in Snowdonia last week!0 -

Faff,
I hope you're not aiming your jibe in my direction.
I was out on it yesterday at Whinlatter, it was absoultely filthy, I just look after it and clean it properly!
If anyone's still interested, the new paint seems to be a lot tougher than on the old frame, so I'm happy again.
And I thought my Chrome Grey 5 was rare!
And here it is being ridden!

clean and looked after.

Not muddy. but thoroughly ragged around the country

I added a bit of protection to my frame the other day, just to keep the chips and scratches at bay!
Sticky backed velcro on the swing arm, only £1.50 for 2 x 50cm lengths, but I only used part of 1. I've used the fluffy part and it also deadens the sound really well too.

OMG! :shock:
Sorry to hear it.
Dont think I'll post my pics now, seems a bit like rubbing it in.0 -
I think this sad event requires a month long moratorium on posts about orange
it will be too upsetting for Andy_B otherwise
:roll: :roll:0 -
Really sorry to hear it Andy. By the way don't take no for an answer from the insurers, they tried to turn down a claim of mine on the basis I hadn't listed it but it wasn't a relevant fact to the claim.
By the way this is a proper muddy bike (and rider):

Fuck Andy, I'm sorry to hear that. Best of luck with the insurers.
Since I bought a dirtworker my bike also looks pretty immaculate within 10 minutes of finishing a ride. However, to appease the good father, I'll get some photos of just what the north of scotland's trails do to a bike.0 -
Mine's still in a horrific state after the week in wales - would be fun to do an after shot seeing as the immaculate one above was from the night we arrived!0

Mine still hasn't been touched after a spell in Grizedale forest during the GDBA Coniston challenge at the weekend.
Sorry to hear about your bike Andy.<a><img></a>0
