Boring colour

Of course it is compared to the yellow!!

I'm going for a completely black stealthy look.

I don't like Santa Cruz frames, and that still looks gorgeous!

Haha, it's daft I know! I just don't like the look of them, even though I know they're great bikes. having ridden a mates Nomad for a week though, if I had the chance I'd have one, even though I don't like the look of them!

Subjective I know, but the current consensus on decent front bulbs is....?

£150 budget probably

I got some cheapo £60 one and it works fine. Can't remember the name though.

Best way to get rid of some old stuff anyone?

Got some juicy 3s, deore front derailer, x9 derealier, and shifters and 9spd cassette.

Are they actually worth anything?

Best time to get into it, no fear at that age.

This 10yr old is ridiculous, the crash at the end would put most in hospital

Does anyone know much about the Felt Compulsion? I've been offered last years 50 model, for what can only be described as a mental price. So if it's pretty decent, I'll give it a go for the price, since my Kili Flyer is out of stock for a while.

Love the XX1, cant believe how quiet it is, lovely smooth and rapid shifting. Not one dropped chain either. Nice ratios on the cassette as well no massive jumps.
I'm so glad to be rid of the front mech, always hated them.

Test rode XX1 on a tallboy not long ago - Was well impressed with it.

Silent and smooth shifting, Doubt id pay the asking price though :eek:
