I agree Gav. The Ringle is staying.

Ed: 135m 0 degree. This is exactly the same size as a Ringle used on another Amp build on this site. I haven't a clue what the size of the frame is going to work out like, so for now I'm not losing any sleep over it

Mat: So you weren't watching the mountainbiking when you got home then! It was the ladies ..mind.

I've ridden the old concrete track at Harvey Haddon a few times, I used to train there a bit. It was quite a fast track - mainly due to having to avoid the local kids throwing stones at you as you passed :shock: :shock: :shock:
