Hmmm jealousy, if I were you grips would be changed though, but personal preference I guess

jacob2910

jakeeeeeee

ellsbells1973

nice 8) ........ welcome to the boardman club

jacob2910

i got the bike when i was 14 and have been upgrading it since then i am a big fan of your giant btw :shock:

getonyourbike

looking good. Fearnsey, the reason for foam is very low weight and I guess they are quite comfy too.

Nice ride for 15. A mate of mine has the Comp, and it is a great rider, even though I'm not really a HT fan, I like my 160mm travel bikes 8)

I'm always surprised how few people around our age there are on here.

jacob2910

all the people are age are on http://www.pinkbike.com/ with their bmx/jump bikes

thel33ter

I tried to sell some stuff on there a while ago, 6 people wanted to swap my Fox forks for their BMX's, I gave up after that :roll:

there's me too, don't forget, at the sprightly age of 14.

thel33ter

So thats 4, and Jay12, who is eternally 12, and 1 or 2 on the roadie side.

I'd say still less than 10...

I need to make a my ride thread for my Enduro sometime.

jacob2910

you should do a poll of how old people on this forum are

yep. Sorry Jay, but it was a bit stupid to use your age in your username.

Good choice but swap the grips....Ritchey WCS Ergo Lock ons, they are like £17 and excellent.

jacob2910

na i like those KCNC ones lots and they are very light it's a double win

thel33ter

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Crank-Brothers-Co ... d1ff389ada

Light and lockon 65g in fact.

jacob2910

they look nice :shock: but i like the brand new kcnc grips i have got at the moment and they weight twice the kcnc's

jacob2910

what do people have against the kcnc ones anyway do they go pink in the sun or something

thel33ter

Everything red goes pink sooner or later :P quite like them personally, two of my bikes have a red theme.

Light and lockon 65g in fact.

That's 50g heaveir than foam grips, you'll never build a light bike with that attitude ;-)

lighter the better

Weight: 10.3kg or 22.70lb excluding pedals

Dont understand why people often quote the weight of bikes excluding the pedals...

Its not like you can do without them???

Why not say 'weight about 19lb excluding the pedals, saddle & brakes'

Not intended as a dig, I just dont get it!!!

jheez, what have you done...
Is there any evidence to suggest there is a method to this colour scheme? Grey pedals (Good) Red Grips (Bad). I don't think the problem people have with the grips are the fact that they are foam, it is simply the fact that they look awful :P
As a work of art I am afraid, this will never do As a bike, well, enjoy it
