Going over to Mikee's part of the world on Sunday morn about 1030, meeting at Markinch station. Hopefully he'll guide me around the local off road splendours for a couple of hours. Anyone else for a wee Fife jaunt ?

I may be ok for this, will know for sure by Saturday

That video made me feel just a little inadequate, loved the way he got over the log, he was super smooth...... wow..... just wow.

He's a bit good is'nt he

In a race he would probably have dismounted for that log though.

Cracking stuff though, CX bikes have crap brakes too from what i've heard, still would like to try one

sorry won't make it - I'm at the skate park in Dundee helping miniKen shoot a video for a school project, after that I'm building a Siege Tower for ultraMiniKen's Birthday.

Frame size around the 23"/24" (58/60cm :roll: ) mark for you I think :twisted: (although not having been that close to your inside leg - I'm guessing :shock: )

.....and I suggest for maximum contrast to the san an - you go for the skinniest tyres possible :twisted: :twisted:

.....'tis a different world :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

so a 23" to 24" frame with 700c wheels should kinda fit me then ? i won't be spending mega-bucks on one , just want to try one out :twisted:

 

[Mr Panda]

Yep that should do fine - maybe try bikestation?

........and you'll need some Lycra
