Love it! What's its primary use?

Cheers! I use it for getting to uni. I'm in my 2nd year and live it a house 15minutes away from campus.

Also a bit of a play bike for practising bike handling, trackstands, bunnyhopping, manualing (well trying)! etc.


I just wanted a simple bike for getting from A to B, no gears, no suspension, less things to go wrong - perfect!
 
I only had a quick look as it was too muddy down there and too dark at home. But bars, crank, deraliur, rear brake hose where it was crushed by my forks. Scratches, chunks of paint missing. Not checked the frame for any dents or to see if its straight anymore.. Taking it to the shop today for a written assesment

Wow, you seem pretty calm considering. I would be raging (and more than likely crying).
Hope you get it sorted mate.
 
Rang the guy who owns the uplift today, the guy who ran the uplift owned up to it and they gonna replace whatever is damaged.. So happy with that. Ill grab some pics of the paint damage to frame though, which wont be getting sorted.
 
Some pics, the downtube i had Duct Tape on!! Thank god i did or it would be a lot worse i think

I do worse to mine after a day DHing. I understand how much we all love our bikes though.

My toes are currently frozen after a 50 miler in -4C temps. Is it nearly summer yet? :D
 
Not being able to get out on the bike sucks. A local town where I planned on going biking from was a reported -18c the other day. :(
 
I've been cycling to work every night for the past fortnight(nightshift over festive season) I've only had one fall where I was coming down a hill slowing down getting ready to turn a corner when my back wheel slipped away from me. Just as well I was going slow lol.

Oh and the other day I was cycling through a lane where a guy was walking his dog, THe dog was off his leash, It saw the flashing lights on my bike and ran onto the road where a car smacked it in the head, It fell to the ground but soon got up and chased the car, I don't know if it was badly hurt though.

Sorry to hear about it, at least the company is being good about it though. Found any serious damage to the frame, or is it all paint chips?

Luckily paint chips, same cant be said for some stuff mind you.. Im not bothered about scatches and paint chips too much as they do happen. But ive been super carefull and i try to keep my bikes in excellent condition so when it comes to sell at the end of the season i get good money for them
 
depends on the rest of the build. Like i said lovely bikes just being 6 inch they aint the best tool for climbing or long distances!
