It's totally worth the weird look. Function > Form

That looks superb pal

Good point, but on a bike that sexy....

You shouldn't be sat down when it's getting bumpy anyway!

Burned_Alive · 2 Jul 2009 at 23:34

It's bumpy everywhere here!

Stunning bike! Long time in building but well worth the wait!

Love the red touches :cool:

I love it,reminds me of my bros spesh with red bits. I didn't notice the seat at first......thought it was a saddle bag!

Oh my god that's sex on wheels.

I really hope you have a decent lock because every thief in the neighbourhood will be crawling over nails to get their hands on that.

How much did it cost you in total?

burned alive, if you find the dt rws thru bolt? a bit creaky/clicky, tighten it more

forgot to comment on the bike heh, gorgeous!

Do any of you guys use a roofbar/cycle carrier setup on your car? Im desperate to buy one, but im really not sure which to get.

Burned_Alive · 3 Jul 2009 at 12:38

My mate uses a Thule setup, expensive but quality.

The Thule stuff does look good, but as you say quite expensive. I didnt really want to spend that much on it, but at the same time i dont want some shoddy bit of kit holding my bike :confused:

I'm looking at getting a computer for less than £20. Can anyone recommend one? Been looking on the internet but most descriptions don't say if they are wireless or not.

Is less than £20 abit ambitious for a wireless computer?

Reality|Bites · 3 Jul 2009 at 15:22

if you want a reliable one yes. I have the one linked above, always works in all weathers

I had an enduro 8 before it and every time it got wet you would have to wait a week or so to let it dry out before it worked again.

andi · 3 Jul 2009 at 16:10

Cateye stuff is good, my Strada's been through the washing machine and worked perfectly.

Muel · 3 Jul 2009 at 16:15

Any other Trials Riders on here?

Here's my Kot MS2.

That is one sexy bike!

Is that a thudbuster seatpost? I've been umming and arring over one for a year or so now but wanted someone's opinion on it.

I'm still on the same bike as 2 years ago (Cube Ltd Race), it's still bile green coloured but for £700 notes you couldn't get a better specced one if you tried.
