Just pulled the trigger on a new frame today after I came back from my morning ride.
I was using the phone in the bedroom ordering it when my wife walked in. I felt like I had just been caught doing something naughty!! :shock:

Watched the mighty Killie stick it up the manky mob from ayr, get in!!!!!!

just ride DIRT tyres , on a DIRT bike, 45 psi
none of this 200 psi tub/clincher bollocks

+1.

Did just that. Just a quick 15 minutes down the local woods to shake down the Bfe. Totally different animal to the Soul. Still feels like a steel frame but much more..... Oh, I dunno, can't describe it. It basically wants to lure you down the woods to look at non existant puppies.

I'm going to try it with a 160mm Bomber tommorrow and see if I dare throw it down some of the bits that have been intimidating over the last few years.

To quote our wonderous slanguage, that looks pure the bawz

Might have to cross the weej border for one of those events.

If you click on the ecmc2012 link it will take you to the Edinburgh event in the summer, sections are open to all I think, but competition might be more elite then I expect.

I have decided not to go to SSEC12 in France this year as frankly I cannot face the hassle of getting there and back. A side effect of ME is that stress and strain can completely destroy me and thus France is just too much stress.
Sorry Jamie, your on your own mate but I'm certain other retrobikers will be there.

As a penance I've registered and paid for the ECMC2012 as its right on my doorstep plus as I've been stupid enough to fixie at SSEC11 in Belgium this should be my kind of event.

If ECMC2012 is full of elite types then I can compete for last place

Thanks TK for the headsup, looks great fun

Are you doing SSUK this year Velo? The Yorkies are planning an attack this year. You can pretend to be a Yorkshireman for the weekend- I have a spare flat cap.
