    It's scary. I think eventualy I'll work up the courage to saw the post off at the frame and then cut the remaining post into segments and snap them inwards to break them away. :evil: :evil:

    Am I too heavy for SIDS

    I've got SID race carbon's and weigh about 70kg - still find them a tad flexy and at times a bit scarry! They are very very light though :D Does anyone know how to 'tune' them, i.e. make them lighter (other than Ti canti studs)??

    Violent Assault leaves my Retro bike DEAD... what next ?

    Ah forgot about the £1000 limit. It was ok for me as I have a £900 bike. I'm sure you can build up something really nice with second hand parts of here 8) . Put up a WTD add.

    Violent Assault leaves my Retro bike DEAD... what next ?

    God thats horrific...really depressing that people like that exist :shock: As long as your house insurance knew about the value of your bike there should be no problem with them paying out. They were very good when my bike was nicked, they just asked what it was worth and gave me the money...

    Claud Butler branded carbon frame!?

    Ahrg..no money at the moment by cheers anyway. My friend is looking at one of their road bikes as his first bike, and I reckon it might be a good option as is v cheap (second hand) and probably performs in a similar way to many other carbon frames?

    Claud Butler branded carbon frame!?

    I realise that - but sadly they ruined their name by churning out loads of cheapy bikes. A vintage CB would be lovely.

    Claud Butler branded carbon frame!?

    Anyone know anything about where they get their frames from - presumably it is generic with their name stamped on? Is it snobby to be put off by the name? :?
