Unfortunately I can't ride at the moment as I have broken my scapula badly (pinned and plated). So have used the time to service the forks and remove the spacer so now have 130mm travel. Changed to the autumn/winter treads from the speed kings. Now can't wait to get back out again. Got another 2 weeks to go..

Cheers super. They are great forks for the money. Had a little pootle yesterday with the forks extended and serviced and they are nice and smooth..Boy did I get it in the neck from the missus though..riding before I'm signed off by the consultant.. :oops: couldn't resist it as it looks at me everytime I go in the garage...

ramemtbers

have you ever done any racing at newnham park plymouth

beardytwo

No I havn't. I couldn't race my 7 year old son at the mo. I guess your more likely to see dirty jo's this neck of the woods as they come from Cornwall. Why do you ask ramemtbers?

Very nice - i love Dirty Jo frames - never seen one in the flesh.

ps - 'Sonic - what have you done to Bert???

beardytwo

Thanks adb1006, I would have preferred something else at the time but funds wouldn't allow however now I have it I don't feel short changed. Perhaps a little restrictive on weight so may and try and wangle a scandal for Christmas and turn the Jo into something else.

They're just such nice looking frames. I really like the fact that you don't see them on every trail like some other makes too. That's what attracted me to the Rock Lobster - the Dirty Jo seems even less common though 8)

Good looking bike.

Those blue sidewalls are great.

Thought they'd make a change from the red. Good tyres aswell. Bargain at 18.99 from allterraincycles ... 8)

i used to race xc at newnham park to train for dh. i saw a couple of very good riders there riding dirty jos bikes and i thought that they might have been sponsered. i was just wondering whether that could have been you racing there.

Berk now races XC!

And his better than me...
