Now what do you think about the Big Eck bike as regards BOTM ?

I think with a few better pics it could be a contender

you think ? i'd be chuffed to bits if it got anywhere near botm....

i'll have it polished up and better pictures taken by saturday night

BOTM is something I'll never be up for. Too impatient y'see. Even when I take delivery of a ropey scuffed old frame, with promises of powder coating and polish, I'm just too keen to fire bits onto it as-is and get out on the thing - before storing it in the cellar for weeks/months

I have a stable full of patina

patina is good if anything BOTM sometimes throws up some surprises

Had any more thoughts on dates for Inners yet guys? What about the Oktoberfest Marathon?? I need a MacRetro Kinship Fix.

I'm kinda on this, need a holiday at work and have fired a salvo past the fun sheriff, which was received with an affirmative 'huh?' so I'll keep you posted. Quite fancy doing a few more events next year and I'd noticed this one before, might make a good start.

Don't discount Janeys fantasticly un-PC Photoshopping talent before you do that :shock:

Aye, true, the non pc route could work, a kinda sadowitz/kevin bloody wilson duo.

I for one due to my ropey health shall not be doing any more mtb competative events this year. Might attempt a cyclocross race in the autumn though just to see what its like.

Next year all I can promise is SSUK10 and hopefully MM10.

Hope Gazz is back soon, he does fill quiet forums rather well :roll:

As for BOTM I'm with Mr Panda, patina not polish is where its at

Who said anything about being competetive?? Just for larks man. OK, will try and pass a few accountants on £7K bikes with all the kit on the downhills, but I ain't racin'

Come on- fresh air will do you good man!

 

[velomaniac]

Fresh air will do me good and 50km offroad in October will not

Even taking it easy its too tough for someone with ME I'm afraid, i'm sure you'll enjoy yourself though
