Ordered one, just what I was after. Pm'ed Tim about the foam gun too.

Happy Birthday marra!

You know the drill: Meanwhile a couple of random pics of the last two days: Thelkeld Loop (again!) Hamsterley Forest: Altogether I've done 9 hours riding in 3 days, not bad!

Nice Zeddy

I know a man dying to give you £6000 CASH for it!

Great improvement.

I took a gauge and let air out as they warmed up, keeping the same pressures. Remember to re-inflate at the end of the day! Think I had to let about 2-3 psi out at their warmest. You'll loose grip if they are over-inflated.

Group buy?

Front end:

Have to ask, whats the job?

Sounds like you were very lucky there. You might want to get that inspected to make sure you haven't caught anything else underneath. What tyres were you on?

Think thats a Nismo V1 front bumper. There is no official separate lip. Think It's just painted separately in that picture. Some other manufacturer might offer one though.

The one on this site??? Howay man, I can see two Red ones without even trying.

Got an early finish here today at Durham, brought the bike with me today so going to hamsterly forest to check out the trails there.

Yep, me too! Getting a chronic itchy wallet for a new bike though...

I've just thought "stuff it" and put some leave in for saturday and sunday. Can't be going to work for this now can I?

A lone ride out this evening to do the Threlkeld loop. One of those near-perfect rides where the the trails are dry and rolling fast. Brilliant. Just like summer really.

Looks better as is Jay IMHO.

Cracking day for it

Blimey, I don't look on this thread for a couple of days and there's a full page to get through! Nice pair of bikes there James, I rented a Fuel at Coed-y-Brenin last year and it was very nice. For your budget second hand, it should be quite hard to go wrong with the big names. What size frame are you looking for? Pinkbike is good for second hand bikes: http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/?region=5&countryid=193

Very nice, looking good!

Spotted at the cafe this afternoon. Me and Fran were coming back from Durham but not in the zed.

Yep, you can't beat early! It's the only way if you want to get a great road to yourself.
