Wow. I don't follow MotoGP but perhaps I should. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNZb1RXyuMQ

I'm already commited to my local club for a 4 man team I'm afraid.

All fit and healthy here. Well I say fit, It's all relative I suppose. Going to do a local ride Thursday night then come up Friday (daytime possibly to get a lap in). See you Friday :D

Think I might take Friday off work and head up early to get a lap in.

Oh, is anyone planning on staying the Sunday night? Just wondering if I should book the Monday off work.

Yes I'm a shortarse :) 5' 8" almost so we're probably in the same ballpark :D Thanks for the offer.

I'vefailed to secure a ride for Mayhem so might look to doing it on the singlespeed. What are the climbs like? I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to climbs but can drag myself up with the right gears (obviously an issue with SS)

I was outbid :( I was in the middle of a time trial when it was due to finish. Now I've got nothing to ride at Mayhem :(

Turning the Hardrock into a Turbo Trainer bike. It's too heavy for the hills around here. I'm building this road warrior instead :D

The stem and saddle would have been PFR branded (Parkpre Factory Racing) originally. I remember the saddle had a perforated cover, and the stem in the UK was silver with black PFR transfers on the sides.

Chris667 did you convert that from rod brakes? if so Id be interested how. I've a '40s raleigh waiting for a full restoration in the garage. on-topic, I've almost finished building a sleek matt black cannondale badboy for the commute. I'd been using a '94 hardrock with steel everything until...

The only time I don't wear gloves or a helmet is when I ride to the local shop down the backroad, and on the turbo trainer. It's as much a part of cycling as wearing a seatbelt in a car is. I forgot my helmet when driving to Nant-yr-Arian recently and had to creep around the trails. Confidence...

So it could be a cinder cone, lava dome, fire mountain, killer... ?

No worries. will drop you a line Weds :) *adds to google calendar to aid sieve-like brain*

I am indeed. when next week do you want a PM.

Anyone got any ideas what this frame might be? These are the only pics I have and I do not have access to the bike. It's obviously had a respray at some point, and looks to me to be mid 90s but I'm at a loss. What are the clues to look for?

Erm. I think the wheels go on the ground, not your feet. You'll pick it up soon enough though ;) Here's me on the Dyfi Enduro this year.

I think I need to be looking at a pre 97 bike I'm afraid. The rules strictly state that everyone rides retro, and we all know that post 97 ain't retro. It's the law.

Yeh I've got an 18" Cindercone which fits just fine. Sloping top tube helps a lot on the Konas.
