Fantastic, thanks. I like learning new stuff like this.

Well, I guess I'm not in the JT club then!

Very nice, but can someone explain why at £850 a 531 frame by a small builder is deemed a bargain? No criticism, I'm genuinely interested as I had not heard of Jack Taylor frames before, and clearly they seem to be venerated.

Gonna be light

Beautiful. What's the weight?

You're dead right about the tyres. I couldn't bring myself to spending hundreds on GCs from the US when I remember buying them new for not very much, and my children would have to go without shoes / clothes / food for the summer! Still undecided here but I think like many others it'll be the...

What's surprising is the speccing of an XC Pro seatpost, despite you would think an XT post being the logical choice at the time. Now, as I said above, I had considered hanging an XC Pro group set on the frame, and as such I happen to have an XC Pro post in 27.0mm diameter which is what is...

Here's what the catalogue spec looks like. I'm definitely not going to be able to get the Ground Control tyres unfortunately, and as I want to ride it comfortably the Turbo saddle will be substituted for a Flite as I've got on every one of my other bikes. It came with a very smooth XT headset...

Deliberately not yet!

I believe it has been professionally renovated a good few years ago and then never built up afterwards. I have to do it justice with the build now!

As I'm an impatient bugger, taking the time to photo and narrate a build thread is not usually my cup of tea. I'd make a shite youtuber with all that editing and camera repositioning. However, I'm making an exception for this build as I've been waiting to get a new garage built and this has been...

@mtbdave has one I believe

As a more frequent runner than cyclist these days I can confirm that it's the same in this camp. Runners in club kit or 'proper' running gear will always acknowledge me. It's the joe joggers in football shirts, or trackie bottoms or with these stupid bra devices to hold a mobile phone on your...

Only Twister

I did think that but as I've not held a newer one against my originals I don't know.

Perhaps covered in the depths of this forum before, but I'm curious to know what the differences are between the original we all love and the later re-issued version? I hesitate to call the newer one a reproduction 'cos it's still made by SI and as far as I can see looks identical...but is it?

Will pm you

1st dibs on this please if Barny76 isn't interested. What price?

Sounds like they dropped you on the climb?

Booom...
