My Claud Butler Virago gave up the ghost a few weeks ago when the frame cracked at the seatpost after 15 years and probably about 18k with minimal maintenance. Still, it cost me £10 in the first place. Now picked up this Giant ATX 860 for £50 and moved the bits over for my favoured setup -...
£20 the pair + £4 p&p or collect in Glasgow.
These came on my 1997 Diamondback Apex. I purchased the bike in October 1997 when I received my student grant. I had a couple of long (25 mile) rides with these tyres around rural Oxfordshire before switching over to a pair of to WTB Velociraptors...
Progress painfully slow. Forks on. Rode it on trails for the first time at the weekend and felt great.
Controltech seatpost sourced today. Next steps are a decent 110mm stem and a nice Flite.
I'll maybe keep my full XTR 950 ambitions on hold for the moment.
I comprehensively trashed my (rubbish) rear wheel on my work bike today. It already had a slight buckle. Riding into a munro, got a pinch flat near the start and just kept on riding. 16km on rough tracks mean it is well and truly dead.
Ok, so I'm really just looking for any reasonably...
