If you don't get a new rear triangle soon you won't have anything to ride!

(apart from men, obviously)

He might be looking at a front too. Either end..IC isn't fussy.

456 build - Status: In Picking - Your order is in the warehouse being picked

Getting there - was a few parts out of stock but shouldn't be long now!.

Anyway - looking for a decent shockpump and also some frame protection - what's best?

Bike tape you should get a shock pump with your forks.

New front wheel has arrived, couldn't resist shoving it in my forks too:

Pro 2 20mm on Stans Flow rim

This colour matching is getting dangerous

I already have a flow front wheel but it's built onto a 25mm Specialized hub, I've tried converting it to 20mm but it's a hassle. I just need my frame now... the wait is getting more painful.

Also someone wanted a size comparison of the Urge Endur-o-matic helmet next to a Met Parachute, here you go:

The parachute is a lot wider, it's difficult to show in photos as the peak on the Urge looks quite large, but seriously on your head the Urge feels like it's part of your skull as apposed to the Parachute, which is like a massive mushroom.

At this rate your bike will be finished before mine

That was me! Thanks a lot, it does look better shaped to fit my head, rather than sit on top of it. I think you've got Urge a sale ^^ Spoke to my local bike shop and they said they can get them in for tuesday next week, so I will have one then.

The Urge is super comfy, I tried on Andelusions in the car and forgot I had it on

Quick question..

I'm selling my bike on eBay, and someone has asked about organising collection for it.

Are most couriers ok with picking up an unboxed bike?
