You don't tend to ride that kind of bike to the shop.

And if you do, take it in with you...

4.5k for a push bike? Insane.

Jonny ///M · 12 Aug 2011 at 13:31

That's about middle to high end price point. They tend to top out nearer 6-7k

Same for anything in life really, unless you understand why its so expensive, it will seem insane!

I'd gladly pay 4k for a bike, but be damned if it'd pay £100 for a watch

\o/ Elixirs turned up this morning my girlfriend's told me.

Will be fitting those later today and test ride tomorrow I think!

Also got a Neo Guard, but no (gay) mud guards yet!

Its a 4.5k build, with upgraded forks, wheels, tyres, handlebar, stem and pedals on top of it

I wont pay for SkyTV per month as I think its daylight robbery and my car cost me 3.5k...its all about priorities you see

Red and black bikes look cool. :cool:

PS. Cut your grass. Supercow has a lawnmower he might lend you. It looks funky.

i agree, the tyre makes the bike look as thou it has been stolen.and your front inner tube valve looks like it's playing peek a boo.

HEY! not nice fella's
bike does the job perfectly fine, pretty sure it's the only Norco bigfoot in the entire country with that spec sheet

we are not being offensive,just pointing out it's not to our taste. the only opinion that matters is yours because you are the one that has to ride it.

you obviously missed the

lol

yeah i missed that

anyway is your valve meant to be like that , it's a looong time since i last used schrader valves

weescott · 12 Aug 2011 at 18:29

The slowest bike build on the internets continues.

Some Blackspire bars. Can't complain for £25.

PS: Supercow - Do you like my strimmer?

ichabod crane · 12 Aug 2011 at 18:38

Looking good so far, way better than that boring looking Makulu

Edit: But that panaracer tyres is the worse looking thing on any bike

not really sure tbh, it was like that since fitting the tube and tyre, it seems ok, went out for a quick 6 mile ride on tarmac and dirt to test the tyres etc etc, it's only schraeder because i stabbed my presta with the tyre lever getting the old tyre off lol

Had them out the box, look great thanks again!

Will be installing them after tea later on.

What's the thinking around the solid centred G3 discs, the one I bought to fit to the front has holes, these are marked G3CS, these are the same but SS at the end, guessing SS is for solid something!
