I've been up riding round Todmorden (home of Singletrack) today. Some cracking riding up there. Had a nice (not) over-the-bars stack, no idea how I avoided a full on face plant but I'm now sporting a nice line of gravel rash down my chest

My Commie Meta 55.1

Looks really aggressive! Shame a mate of mine has manished to crack/snap his meta team twice lol!

He never cracked his craft(crack)works FRM 125 before

Quick one on my camera from today, I'm sure the other cameraman from the day has better.

You'd cry if I told you the price

Can't be that bad if you're not running full SRAM Red

You've clearly missed the other replies, it wasn't due to the expense of the bike, more how little I'd managed to put it together for. I've had the Force groupo for quite a while now, certainly well before Red was even heard of.

Holy crap at this:

Quick heads-up for anyone that's been waiting for a Spoon. Wiggle have them back in stock and it looks like they've got plenty available.

Cool - hopefully LBS will have them in shortly then. Had one on order for ages now!

I've bought a white one. Yes, it'll get dirty quickly. Yes, it'll never be the same white. But by God will it look good.

Just need to swap my black Atlas AM bars for a white 31.8mm bar and I'm sorted.

My recently upgraded singlespeed Dr Jekyll.

Running Gusset Pigmy Cranks, 24" Halo SAS, 1 pink Hope Mini, and some shoddy old mx marzocchis.

I came back from the doc's today and I have been diagnosed with 6th Element Syndrome

I have the compulsion to buy another bike... I'm sure I would be able to resist, but it's hard!

So in love with this Norco A-Line park edition, so much Bike for your cash!

I want those rim's

Tis no good, the saddle has got to go
I know saddles are a personal thing, but any recommendations for a saddle that wont "numb" certain bits after 30 mins?
Been looking at Fizzik and Specialized as main choice.
New bib shorts make it a bit more comfortable due to the fancy chamois insert.
Oh its a Giant TCR road bike btw.

Wiiija, what wheels have you gone for? I've been looking at Stans - I'm in Sheffield this weekend so I'm going to call into JustRidingAlong for a chat with them.
