Cheeky fugger :twisted: Rob technically its a jump frame but by sticking gears on it it becomes quite handy round trail centres. Not light or quick but good fun 
Much better idea than bastardising a nice old frame I'll also have you know I'm nowhere near mid life yet...unlike someone else.

If it is ball burnished that suggests to me the frame is too big. Get a smaller one so your nads don't chafe the toptube.
christ on a bike some of those are my age. I've been doing it since I was 33 does this let me off the hook? I mentioned this to the wife the other day, new car will probably be some soulless estate, I was considering buying a Specialized Pitch(i.e trial centre nobber) and I generally dress from Gap Mid life ninja is aboot!
I went the more traditional 'buy myself a soft-top' MLC route. And getting back on the bike big time coincided nicely with splitting from the wife.
Quite an interesting article though, touches on the whole ' emasculated modern man / fight club ' thing.

It is an interesting article, and a lot of it rings true with me. I wonder if I had a premature mid life? The wife is 5 years younger than me and since I was 30 has been telling me I'm nearly 40 :twisted: could have brought it on early.
I wonder how much of Retrobiking is MLC? I mean wtf are we doing on 20 year old bikes up a hill? But then again its easy to label anyting 40ish guys do as mid lifeish

Mayhem was definately my midlife, it just re-sparked an intrest in stuff I had left behind for a few years, I still cycled but it was trips with the kids and commuting with only the odd off road foray.
In that off time I took up various activities like RC buggies,Hillwalking, Professional Drinking (this reduced my activities in other areas) and the main one was Power Kiting so a lot of weekends were spent at the beach flying stuff.
