As above bought a new bike there as going to get back into it, just bought a shogun with hydraulic brakes , vented discs lol

So anyone else into biking ! me and NUTTIN RILLA are going to get back into it and go some decent runs when the good weather starts

Need o get some proper tyres though as there really nobbily and quite chunky

 

This is mine - building a full sus at the moment for Wales and Verbier in the summer - ust waiting for the frame to arrive! - Yeti 575

 

Loving that rolls

I really need decent tyres for some long road journeys/a bit of offroad lol

 

Anyone else

 

My old hack from '94. Hand built by myself. My road bike was totalled while I was out on a ride and my hips took a pounding so I gave up

Still have the bike at my mums place though.





Not much by current standards but a 25lb bike with suspension in '94 was good going.

 

 

 

I have an Old Merlin i built up around 97/98 that i used for racing X country for a couple of seasons, sorry got no pics. Stopped in 99 after an off, and its been used for fun and riding to work ever since.

I didnt see a 3 ft high barbed wire fence on a fast down hill section, luckily it was about leg height which flipped me over the top. One of the lads who was there when i came around said i had been out cold for 5 min, but it was fucking cool to watch as he followed me thinking i had found a quicker line Recall on trip said max 33.2mph which would have been that section so no wonder it sparked me out.

Wouldnt mind getting back into it but Cars, Golf, and missus take up most of my time now.

 

Shit mate , you were lucky by the sounds of it , 33mph barbed wire out cold mmm sounds good lol

 

OK so it's not my exact one but it's what I ride. Never thought I'd move from an Orange to a Kona.

I don't ride it enough!!

 

mine
marin mount vision pro with bomber forks
should be taking it to spain in the summer

also got an old orange x1
now used for the road/going to work

my little old machine. lol

 

heres mine, Giant XTC SE

 

Likeing that alot pee vee

 

Av not got one of mine but its not that special, just an old skool claude butler, bought it of a mate of a mate, im maybe gony invest in one now that i`ve seen rabs, disc brakes an all the trimings

 

All i could remember was seeing the wire about 4ft before i hit it and then waking up to a lad going, are you ok? that looked cool as fuck
Must admit did loose my bottle on a bike after that, thats why i gave up racing. I wasnt going to taking part if i didnt think i had a chance of coming in a good place.

nigel b The mount Vision Pro is probably one of my all time favortie bikes Just looked stunning and still does now.

 

Nash
it is such a lovely bike to ride especially with the old skool bombers on the front
it went down the downhill route at Cwm Carn in wales a few weeks ago and was soo smooth
hopefully im gonna get some mega light synergys on there soon

the original designer is still using the same design rear susp today!!!
marin changed their version and made it worse

 

pee vee is there anywhere decent for riding around the chippenham area?

 

Need a bit of advice from sum1 in the kno? Whats the best bike i can get for around 350 quid these days?

thanx

 

350 wont get you much if you buy new, the carrera range is ok for entry level bikes otherwise maybe look into some 2nd handers or if you can find a good supplier last years models.

Got myself a Gt agressor 1 frame(16"),hope hyd brakes,azonic bars,rock shox psylos(sp), LM downhill cranks and some right nasty pedals with 2/3mm studs in them....my shins will never be the same
Will get some pics

 

depends what hes after if hes just after a basic entry level bike then theres loads for Ł350 from various manufaturers

 

this is alright for the price
http://www.evanscycles.com/product.jsp?style=70143

 

Yeah entry level moutain bike is gonna be circa Ł350. That one will be more than good enough for easy.....cross country riding if you like and could maybe withstand some light downhill.
An entry level Scott scale 70(x country ish) will run you Ł499
Entry level scott genius mc50(downhill+enduro) is Ł1499
Entry level scott ransom 40(downhill/moutain trail) is Ł1899

 

Mine only cost Ł370 so probably no the best bike but it will do for what im using it for , hydraulic disk brakes etc 24 gears and front suspension and looks pretty cool too

 

fancy going out sometime for a passionford ride?

 

Quickie of mine



Getting some slicks on it next week so i can put the power down through the rear wheel

And its fooking called paranoid too typical

 

I've got a full suspension GT of some kind (its been in the shed for a couple of years covered up and not used ) Got full hydraulic disc brakes, got a pad missing from the front but I've got some replacements I havent yet fitted had them about two years. Need to get out on it this year.

I've had a couple of GT Zaskars which I built but both got stolen

 

cheers guys, i was already looking at that bike on another website, i can get a discount thru my work aswell which is a bonus i suppose.

 

This is my beast, got lost on it yesterday though

 

My mates full sus with the frame he built himself, until he sold the forks. Most of the other parts are now on a hardtail that he built the frame for as well

 

umm, not overly mate.. forest of dean is about an hour away, thats usually where we end up if we go anywhere!

 

heres mine

had it a few years now

 

A couple of my old scott yecora.

 

Have got a Trek 4300, no pics til I get out and take some,

 

Hi Rab how you doing? I had a Trek 8000 when I was at school, did me well for 10 years! Couple of years ago i got a Cannondale Jekyll 700 with Lefty front forks. Here's a pic;



Took that photo before a ride at Glentress near Peebles - the routes there are the best i've ever ridden. Best thing about my bike is the confidence the disk brakes give me, now i KNOW i can stop i don't ride like such a wimp!

Here's 2 photos I took at the World Cup event at Fort William to 2005;





Cheers, Mark
