    Free Magazines & Diamond Back Frame

    Magazines free as well as the frame. Need to clear some space so if they don't go soon it may well have to be the tip.

    Free Magazines & Diamond Back Frame

    Would really prefer not to post the frame and forks. Too much hassle for me and times at a premium at the moment. Ed

    retro DH bikes . . . and some ill person ramblings!

    The Rotwild's worked quite well and were good value for money. Looking forward to getting my one built up. Speaking to an ex Hope sponsored DH'er who used to ride them he was impressed with them. But there was a weakness around the headtube when running triple clamps. They found a small...

    retro DH bikes . . . and some ill person ramblings!

    ATX 990 was quite nice to ride but broke very easily. The Marin's seemed to just break! The Iron Horse design had good suspension travel but the swingarm was very flexible, was a bit like a ski going round corners! Intense M1 was good for big stuff but always found they struggled on UK...

    My truck is dead....Any ideas?

    Petrol into a modern diesel engine will probably destroy the injection pump and injectors. You can be lucky on occasions and get away with it depending on how long it drives for, how much diesel was in the tank etc.... If you are lucky then it's a simple case of drain the tank, change all the...

    Snow - Why cant people drive?

    So far we have had no snow at all! :cry: When we do get snow it's time to take the landie out and I actually get to overtake people! Although last time we had snow I was getting overtaken by people hammering along as if it was a dry day! :shock: Always make sure that I have the tow rope...

    Retro "Super" bikes

    The one on my list would be the Coella Viper. Reviewed by MBI when it was fitted with long travel Hanebrink's. A friend owned one of the coella full suspension bikes and that was very nice to ride and beautifully made. The viper looked very well engineered, british, rare and reasonably...

    Hope hub, very skinny ti body...what model was it?

    Definitely an ultralight. I've got a new one sitting in it's Hope box. They were available as 28 or 32 hole. Important note with them was that they were to only be used with rigid forks. My one will probably be for sale soon as well, haven't got anything suitable to put it on. HTH Ed

    D**kheads

    Had a fun one a few years back. Three of us were out riding and one of us out in front. Jaguar cut up the front rider (Steve) forcing him to bunnyhop onto the pavement. Jaguar stopped at next set of traffic lights and Steve rode past it foot up and neatly took the wing mirror off! Ed

    Titanium-Dynatech-X-Lite-Mountain-bike_

    I remember riding one of the demonstrators when they came out. Very nice ride and the front end was incredibly direct. Never rode anything else with same accurate feeling to the steering. The spec shown was the std XT one and definitely more than 4 built. Remember seeing one in a local...

    Cannondale - what is it?

    Just needs it's decals and original colours, then they look a lot better. I've got a super V 1000 and they can look pretty good as well as being nice to ride. Mine has done everything including dual slalom, downhill, jumping and cross country. A bit of a misnomer that comes up is that this...

    Why no love for Cannondale?

    I've had 3 cannondales in total and have always liked them. Started with a beast of the east and then onto probably my favourite bike of all time - an original super v and then an F700. The last 2 I still own. The F takes a bit of getting used to and always felt like a race bike rather than...

    The Rarest of rare?

    My only two rare bits are a Scott LSD World Cup DH frame - the original many adjust one. A friend we used to ride with still has the long saddle that used two seatposts! :D Shame he won't sell it to me! :evil: :lol: And a new 32 hole Hope U/L front hub, cracked the first one and never got...
