Clearly you didn't see what Cavendish was drinking after his World Championship win last week

hehe, I'll bet they don't teach that at sport science university!

Any of you guys from the isle of skye? Might be moving back up there after christmas, BIG MAYBE though, everything is a bit crazy in my life at the moment so nothing is certain but just wondering if anyone on here lives up there and knows anywhere good to ride?

Isle of Skye? If you struggle for anywhere good, just ask the local resident Danny MacAskill

ok ok I know he doesn't live there anymore (his parents still do).

On a more serious note -

Danny MacAskill, Hans Reay and Steve Peat tour Isle of Skye and Torridon.

Where can you get a 2011 one from for £975?

Gribs · 2 Oct 2011 at 21:10

There's very little difference between a 2009 one and a 2011 one. The geometry is the same just the shock is slightly different.

weescott · 2 Oct 2011 at 21:14

So you mean you can't get a 2011 one for £975?

No but you won't get a second hand 2011 one for more than 1k either

A video from today's ride at Long Mynd. Epic day.

*Music stolen from another video posted in here

Looks good....Might do this later this month.

Did you just go for the day or camp over?...if you camped do you happen to have a postcode to where you stopped?

Thanks

The same could be said for similar priced bikes like the T2. Recession n' all.

*note to self...Yeti SB66's do not exist...Yeti S...

Scott, it's a sh!t bike, and there's no difference between it and the previous years model ... and you know it.

weescott · 2 Oct 2011 at 21:51

There is a difference. It's been pointed out already. As for it being sh!t, I am not one to judge as I haven't ridden it.

Supercow · 2 Oct 2011 at 21:56

Rides worse than yer mum, the Cove Hooker.
Next time I'll just settle for a Cove handjob, as she gave me a Cove STD

weescott · 2 Oct 2011 at 21:57

Not as bad as your old man. The Cove Rent Boy.

No but same frame with a rp3 & a warranty vs same frame with a rp23 and no warranty. Which is worth more?

weescott · 2 Oct 2011 at 22:49

Who said it didn't come with a warranty? The frame in question will have a full warranty.
