  • Aye, give us a shout and we'll go for a ride and/or beer. There are usually a couple of big rides around TT.
    Was up on the Montain rd today as it happens, pics and vid in the snow rides thread in general.
    You should try and get over for the End2End in Sept too, 'tis a great laugh.

    "Pleased", in what way? Is it your Dream Bike? Thinking of Ti hardtail for the N.Wales trail centres this year. Had Airborne Lucky Strike few years back, great climber, but the 853 Black Widow was better technical descender.
    Using full sus and Norco Bigfoot h/tail, but finding the BF very harsh on the back/butt!
    Any feeedback welcomed.

    pleased with it, as in 'my dream bike', have just built it, so have yet to get out on the tracks, once I've done a few off road miles will post a report......hope it's as good as all the reviews state......

    So much envy. Been wanting one of those for longer than I can remember.
    I'd give my right hand to be ambi-dextrous
  • That is an awesome bike, loved my Handjob and these are meant to be even better.
