    For those who like mad machines and crazy inventions

    I need your opinions please..

    I think the trouble is the 575 and Bullit are quite simliar, both longish travel full susses. Why did you think you would need two?

    How the hell do I fix this?

    I would know that swingarm anywhere! Marin full suss, 99, maybe 98. Anyway, you are in luck. If you don't have the ciain tool as described above, and I'm guessing not or you wouldn't be asking the question, remove the lower (when it's the right way up) jockey wheel from the rear mech and the...

    Is this a good idea? Big race on old bike.

    So, did the bike survive? Did I survive? Find out in the first exciting installment http://andrewhowett.blogspot.co.uk/2012 ... logue.html And yes, it was the oldest bike there, I would guess by about 8 years!

    Is this a good idea? Big race on old bike.

    Hello again, No doubt you will all be pleased to know that I've decided to go for it. As I will doing the 24hr the weekend before I have decided that I won't be very fast regardless of which bike I'm on so I'm just going to go and have fun on this one. A few details of the race on my website...

    Is this a good idea? Big race on old bike.

    Hello all. I'm a farily irregular poster on here, just stop by for a read every now and again. Anyway, I now need your thoughts on someting. . I have entered the Transvesbienne race, 100km from the Alps to Nice, 13,500ft of downhill and a lot, but less than that, of climbing. I have two...

    GOOD STUFF ONLY IN THE U.S.

Considered buying it and selling it for parts on here, had a quick look and it's not worth that much so thought I would just...
