I rode my bike for the first time to work last week in a few years so thought I'd get my other bike ready for Monday morning. I used to build up bikes weekly and had some decent bikes but this one I decided to keep because it's pretty rare and a one off build, love the retro look to it but in the 2-3 years I've had it I've never actually rode it 
Carbon and titanium everywhere, even the sids. Full xtr spec. Was weighing around 20lbs but there's still a lot of weight in the standard inner tubes and I still need to fit an xtr cassette that I've got lying around somewhere. Not sure my tiny pedals will work with my work boots but I'll find out soon 
Certainly something different anyway.

Bad attempt at riding a bmx track. Couldn't exactly jump anything.

full suss and pump track just don't work. a jump bike or hardtail are so much better. my 4yr old son goes to our local pump track every day on his balance bike and hes now flying round it no fear at all

Where is best to sell a bike? eBay never seems to shift anything or you get stupid offers. Got a mint (ridden less than 100miles) Cube Peleton '13 to try and sell.

Currently riding a cannondale Jekyll full Susser with no rear lock out on the shock. The angle of the head is also a little 'relaxed'. I'm looking for a new bike that will lock out at the rear and will be suffice for trail riding and some climbing. Have around 1500....... Any suggestions on what to look at? I would also prefer it to be a full Susser aswell!
