Left wrist is still crap but strapping up helps. I've been riding to work all week and its do-able.
Spitfire is a little short I think. Seat angle is steep too, not sure if i like it tbh. I'm going to try it with a Thomson layback before i condemn it :cry:
I'm getting Crabbies in bulk from the warehouse
have a good one tonight. Glentress on saturday??

You haven't ridden it at Thrunton yet!! What length stem you running? and I did notice your seat is canny far back.
I wouldn't worry about the seat angle, wait till your going eiger sanction! You wont complain then!!
Glentress is a no go, family arriving firday night for half term, so staying local

Flakey flakey Jamie!! :roll:
I have to get to the top of Eiger before I go down it. The geometry is just all wrong to me, I'm sitting with my hips rolled forward to pedal the damn thing. I will see what its like with a layback post, otherwise its for the chop.
Can't help with the Crabbies- its a trade only warehouse and I would have to kill you if i told you

Can't believe it's getting the chop before riding it off road!!
It's much better now with a longer lay back post. Just had a quick spin down the road and it's comfortable.
Of course a longer fork would further slacken the seat angle so that's something to think about.
Had a quick run out on the Singlespeed Humu last night. It's great fun but I need to drop to a 17t sprocket.
We spent a good hour looking at the possibilty of building some new trails in the woods just west of Morpeth. There us a good loop in the woods which is spoilt by steps so we are looking at bypassing them with a little shovel work. There is also a little northshore to build over the streams here and there but it should make a good route.
