Nah, the trek is his own bike.
I think he said he got the glory behind it from his mate. (and some others)

Very pretty. Chain needs tensioning, and you appear to be missing a brake....

Nice sprint finish at the UCI mens XC World Champ race at Dalby Forest.
Schurter (Scott) beat Absalon (Orbea) to line by under a 1 second.

Why is it you never have the right spanner for a job?

I had planned to short the hoses on some SLX brakes this afternoon. Having previously bled some 525 Deore brakes, I'd had to buy 6mm + 7mm spanners for that job.

What size do I need for the SLX? 8mm. :rolleyes:

I've got every size bar 8. Grrr.

I couldn't go to Dalby and get Lycra shots for Supercow, so I went to the 2nd round of the SXC in Contin (just north of Inverness) instead:

CB, I'm really interested in the Glory if you are indeed selling it, would you sell it as a whole bike ?

MrKnifey · 25 Apr 2010 at 20:38

shauncr91 · 25 Apr 2010 at 20:42

Too much Lycra !!!!
The guy in the middle back on the Specialized Epic looks in great shape

Also - spot the bike not fitted with a SID fork

I bought a 2010 Acid last month, first MTB for a dedicated roadie and I am loving it so far.
