Re: Re:

Not that modern or nice Dave, just my Decathlon Hybrid with 29 x 2.35 tyres, fatbike forks and Clarkes cable discs. Modern and GT capable by my scrapheap standards :roll:

Niche points for the forks though! I nearly went uberniche recently, almost went for a drop bar mtb but sanity prevailed and I have a hardtail on the way- that's enough of a stretch for me...

Cracking ride in the sun today at Glentress with some good company. Stiff legs now after the drive home, glad I'm not working tomorrow.
Spare a thought for Velo who's currently just into a six 'til midnight shift, after blasting round all day on his single speed.
Cheers to Kaiser for suggesting it.

Re:

After my chat with Kaiser and Clubby about more modern trail bikes I figured I'd better get something new to me as I got a right battering on my rigid single speed and could not keep up at all with they'm two. Realised new was utterly out of the question and hardtails are only a partial solution so into ebay I trawled for what I could afford. Eventually I thought GT i drives work for me even though my last one left me a wee bit unsure and thus I got rid. They are however common, I know they work and large frames are not in short supply. So just bought an early one for £380 delivered with full XT, air shock and Rockshox pike fork. A wee bit battered but thats to be expected and it looks good on pics plus seller has good rating so here's hoping it all works out for best
