A wee heads up for people with access to BBC 2 Scotland. The Adventure Show is covering the Strathpuffer 24hr MTB event from Inverness. Show is on BBC 2 Scotland at 1900 on Tues 8th March. For those South of the border, I think you can get this on the top of the 900 channel range on Sky

Nice. I loved my V10, got a sunday now. What are you using to build it with?

Not sure exactly yet.

But let's just say it's going to be different from my normal black builds. :eek:

must be something about black builds - my 456 carbon is the plain black frame with just a hint of red on a spaces/headset and grips.

12 days and counting!!

[commence epic pic story]

What's this...

A large black box, something's inside

Lots of bubble wrap..

BOOM! My new BOS Deville forks

They're very light (2kg), feel much lighter than my Lyrik 2-step airs

Nice nob

Just need to decide on a frame now to replace my Enduro

Covert or 2010 Enduro.

Om nom nom. Now they are sexy forks. :cool:

What these lack in sexyness, they make up for in girth. fnarrr fnarr:

40mm stanchions look nuts! Ron Jeremy would be jealous.

Woop! Got a call from Evanscycles and their delivering my bike to me tommorow apparently

Was supposed to take 5-7 days its taken 1 so if everything is right thats perfecto!

I bought some Endura Hummvee shorts yesterday, and been for a ride with them today... Wow they are so comfortable!

Andelusion · 3 Mar 2011 at 16:02

I has those too

3/4 length versions, the singletrack shorts are good too.

Caseh · 3 Mar 2011 at 16:04

I was looking at the 3/4 but decided to go with the normal ones, I'll most likely get another pair of these aswell, for the money they are brilliant!

I was sat watching that with my 3 year old & she asked if it was me lol

She also said that he wasn't very good because he was riding on rocks instead of the path....
