..maybe they should change position sometimes so she doesn't have all of his weight on top...

Or give her a good work out. No, not that way. Just some mechanical overhauling..

it's no wonder judy is feeling down.... one leg has three elastomers in it, the other has none at all.

how do i get the lowers off?

If you can't get Judy's lowers off at your age you need lessons

Actually, can anyone spot what he is doing wrong?

He has an ironing board :shock:

time to make this a little bit more sensible. Keith's a 1996 Privateer.... which technically means he is a trek. oh dear. still. he looks cool, and this is what matters.

Keith will be built with a black LX group, including cantis. i have some redwall IRC tyres and my DIY brown saddle to go on.

Call me silly ( oh go on ) but aren't those re-badged RST forks? Look at the top caps on the legs.
Sh1t Keir, that's gotta be the BEST paint scheme Keith ever did.
