Still nice and dry in Wilts, I've got a lid now, it seems alright I've worn on the last 3 rides, today being the longest, my only issue is a hot forehead.

I've got rim brakes on mine, and the wet chalk clogs them up no end when It's wet.

I took some pictures after giving the old girl a wash.




It's not up to the standards of your bikes but it does the job.

Magura brakes retro cool.

Hardrock is a good base. I always recommend them.

Your chain could do with 1 - 2 links taken out of it though!

And if that is your saddle height, I'd say the frame is too big!

Thanks, yeah the frame is too big for me, I plan to replace it in a while for a full suspension with a medium frame. I've up graded a load of things on like it the brakes, and forks.

Yep sure is, I'm only about 5.10. It was local and cheap, but it ended up costing my £20 less than a new one once I paid to have it made ride able.


You live and learn, I know a bit more about bikes now.

5'10"? You want 17.5-18" frame maximum!

I'm 5'6" and ride 15.5" or Small. Dad is same as you andrides 17.5". As we're mormore aggresive trail orientated he would prefer something at the 16.5" mark!

The first time I went for a ride I was like ''Fuck me this is high'' I'm used to it now, but I do need a smaller one. It does my lower back in after a bit.

Nice GT. My mate at school had one in the mid 90's, in day glow yellow. His folks were pretty well off.

There still decent to ride, not up to today's standards obviously but everytime I go to look at new bikes I come away disappointed.

I fancy a full susser sometime

What did you make of the Orange? My mate has bough a 5 RS, should get it next week. He said it was the best 650b he rode.

Still got the Cavendish Venge and another 8 bikes LOL Trying to sell the Mojo HD but people all want something for nothing.

I am looking forward to the Bronson C landing, I had a quick demo on one and it felt nice. I always loved my Blur LTc but I wanted to try something different.

People doing the London to bright off road ride, it's my first of this size/distance. I'm buying a bigger bag with larger bladder, but what about food etc ?
