    Nice.

    That bike just gets better and better. I like the new chainset/ring set-up - I've used the TA Specialites rings before and they're extremely impressive. What sizes are you running?
    Society is like a stew. You have to stir things up now and again otherwise the scum will rise to the top.

    Cheers..rings are 26/40 with KCNC short bolts..should be under 23lb when I decide on summer tyres..Spesh Renegade possibly(If I can get hold of them from Europe) or NoTubes Raven if i can get a good deal (once Ive seen them in the flesh)..not too fond of spending £100 on rubber.

    I would avoid the 'Darke' side, or Peter Sharke as hes more fondly known...used to work for cycleworld many moons ago back in my bmx days..still get in there regularly, they will sort you out, both mechanics are riding Trance X's at the min.

    Haha, needed sun glasses to go near it also and a chance of being killed by the bike welded to the top of the shop roof, not a good business location next to a second hand car garage, yes I had a cheeky dig at them for it haha

    god i miss cycleworld lol, the staff there are a great laugh.

    used to live in monkwearmouth so was just across the bridge for me.
    Consequences.... are just a harmless by-product of having a good time, all the time.

    Thinking about things isn't the same as doing things. Otherwise everybody would be in jail.
