The "I have just ordered..." thread

My mate has a Cotic (in fact, Ratty's on here somewhere) and it's great! I believe his is blue though.

Nice buy!

Yeah bfes are cool my mates got a small black bfe 1 and it has taken some abuse. Only problem was it had a built in mech hanger so when he bent it he couldnt run gears again. Think the new ones have replaceable hangers however.

Yeah new ones have a replaceable hanger, tapered head tube and 31.6mm seat tubes, so everything I've got will fir straight on it. Was close to choosing a Soul but decided to go burlier and save a bit of cash as well They only dispatch on Thursdays though, so I'll have to wait til next week before she's built Excited though, my first proper mtb that isn't black

Could of got a dartmoor hornet that would of suited all of that, for a 1/3rd cheaper! plus the geo of a large/medium might have suited you better. Plus I think they look nicer

Doesn't look the most comfortable though Plus I wanted steel and literally everything off the slackline will fit and it's green

Another new helmet, the Feature I got a while back is a bit wam and doesn't actually fit as well as I thought.

However, I'm not actually holding my breath that it'll actually turn up

Very tempted by one of those, my 661 Recon has never fitted properly and the stupid adjustment means it's never in the same place you left, so easier for it change, the IXS looks like it has little more coverage and the dial at the back looks much more secure

Been in the CRC sale, some Mavic winter bib tights for the gay bike, it's not got properly cold yet but it's getting there.



Also a skins top, they're just about the best thing I've found for me to wear under my keeper kit as a base layer and they're going cheap cheap cheap.

Edit: Sod it, just bought one too. Merry Christmas me

I was all set to order one after crimbo, in my basket and waiting, then I made the mistake of trying on Troy Lee A1 in Tweeks cycles... Oh. My. Days. There is no way anything could possibly match how comfortable it was, unbelievably comfortable and they look the bomb too!! It is nearly 50% more than the price of the IXS, but I don't care. I want one!!

Decathlon bib tights. The better £40 ones (no warmer than the £20 ones but much, much better padding).
