    Just been Cwmcarn... managed it up the 2 shite climbs and then the BB decided to go pop - not literally but it now sounds like a £50 shopper bike!

    Taking it to EC Cycles tomorrow as its on the way home from work :)

    Not much luck at the moment eh Ben...

    I noticed E C Cycles yesterday, hopefully they'll be a good semi local shop to get bits 'n' bobs from. Give us a report after you've been :D

    The Hanzz is 36.5 lbs, she pedals just fine :D (shame about it's pilot :roll: )

    I think it's manageable, but then you have been spoilt on that whippet HT Ben!

    That must be a conservative estimate Jimbo? haha.

    walk through the door and there was a Mojo HD with crank bro's wheels and it just looked the sex!

    Happy bday Kev. It's my birthday this weekend too so will prob be in no state to ride Sunday.

    Feels like I've been out of the loop forever. When my uni work is done and dusted in the next two weeks I should be out a lot more..

    Have fun this weekend. Whens the bike coming Ben

    Not sure yet mate. I'll get a delivery date/tracking number sometime next week..

    Thing is, the parents are coming down to Wales next weekend to watch England destroy Wales in the rugby @ the Millennium Stadium, so there will be no riding.

    Thats gonna be uber depressing with the beast sat in here!

    then we hit the top of mach amd went into the woods. had another moment, and the sadle went up my b um.... nice

    then we did the wyile dh, wimped out the first did. but went down some big ass hill.s had the 3rd off of the night in there. but that was just slipping sidewards so it was funny more then anything.
