LBS has one hanging up and its damn beautiful to look at.The reason its hanging out of reach is to stop staff and certain customers from getting their oily mitts on it 
I think its a 54 or 56 but either way its too small for me Owner wants £2G
A sound investment Rob.

3.5 hour ride, 2 hours of which with a less fit mate. Knew he'd only have a short pass so rode to his and home again. I now feel like a drugged up roadie able to gap anyone at a moments notice. Feeling good for boys weekend away to Dalbeattie coming up.
Trails surprisingly dry after all this rain.

We've had a bit less rain and a bit more sun and i reckon the ground was too dry and has sucked it all up :? Like watering a dry plant after a fortnights holiday.Within 5 mins the top is dusty again and you literally have to drown it to get damp earth on top :?

Looks very nice indeed kaiser looking forward to seeing it and will bring a spare set of pedals to get a proper go.
Today, inspired by our yo chat on the way up north on friday, i took the bananarama out for a spin. It has been looking spanking hanging up in the garage for to long. Sure the bars are to short, the tyres to thin, and the wheels are to wee but **** me does it move and proper point and shoot steering too. Reminded me why I feck about with these old bits of pig iron, bing bang bosh Yo.

Just got some 29er tyres, CST CRitter Comps in 2.1" flavour, el cheapo but not bad. Trying to decide between 96ing a 26er hardtail, full 29ering a Trek Y Frame or bodgineering an elderly 26er from the long distant past that will just fit the tyres. Only time will tell

You know the Trek Y makes sense, if only so we can see pictures of it.
