that was the Klein full suspension. I reckon on a lighter bike and giving it 100% I might get it down to 1.10.

Phew :roll:

I first pictured a hillside strewn with building site refuse, bricks, breeze blocks etc. Dug in concrete on a farm track i'm used to, we got a lot of that round here.

I've found myself a trainning circuit, mixture of B-road, farm/forest road and single track with steep climbs, descents, mud, roots, loose surface gravel etc. Not timed myself yet but its a great SS workout.

Should I ever get down Grantham way, I'll have to get you to show me around this circuit of yours

needed to clean the kitchen today and as the bike lives there it needed a bit of a clean and by clean i of course mean rub at it with a scoring pad

758g saved in dirt you can hear the weight weenies getting the horn at the thought of that kind of free weight saving

You should run a 'what's missing in this picture' competition.

I assume the oven gloves are in the wash, buried or hidden.

yeah i moved those when i needed to turn the bike around to do the other side and it was a bit too close

i can save 18g if i replace the bottle bolts with plastic ones on the kona
