    New Breezer MTB's

    I wouldn't agree about the frame, the rims are a bit iffy with those squiggles, and those POS tyres (sorry bad experience with Schwalbe's) are just a fancy way of showing off how much you spent on poorly performing puncture-prone junk (see-issues!) but busy compared with retro's? check out...

    New Breezer MTB's

    LGF- I fully agree with the sentiment behind your post- I didnt take that as anything against Breezers, but I'm not sure I agree that the trail centre/bodyarmour/Volvo crowd will ever see past the mainstream brands in the shiny Evans showroom though? Gotta say though I'm very close to that...

    New Breezer MTB's

    Since when has liking one thing required the dislike of another, bordering on venomous in some of those posts? There's much anti-modern feeling developing on here, its not pleasant to read- to the point that I rarely visit or contribute to the site and am seriously considering selling the...

    New Breezer MTB's

    Just stumbled accross this thread and some of the reactions to the new bikes have made me bloody angry- I reckon a few of you owe Mr Breeze an apology.... To my mind the original Breezers looked similar to all the other bikes on the block, set aside by the distinctive paint, and the build...

    And today I did......

    Today I rode numerous expensive mountainbicycles in the highlands, most leaving me cold and uninspired, but fulfilled a mild ambition to place a shiny carbony Ibis mojo under my ares. You know that feeling when you meet your heroes and are disappointed? That didn't happen in the slightest. Last...

    MOTOR CHAT

    Never enough!! Been thinking about the next car recently- couple of years away but spotted a Mk2 Clio V6 the other day and it got me thinking... or a Z-cars mini... would need a bike transporter though, RS4 avant? Trying to decide if I can justify sunday away from the books (exam on friday)...

    And today I did......

    I can see what you mean- but for me its the red that doesn't look right, black or polished for those parts would make a big difference... maybe polished stem and post too? Says the bloke with the most colours possible on one frame!! (If I had cash I'd be beating down your door though)

    MacRetro Ganghut...........

    Not even close to tempting!! Street is a total backwater, traffic flows all round there but that spot is deader than a dead thing, plus its 50 yards from Sandy Gilchrists old shop which will take any local trade as its been there forever
