Perhaps more VW vs Toyota? :) Kona, much prefer the geometry and general design aesthetic No offence to GT fans but they were always my least favourite brand as the triple triangle seemed gimmicky and inefficient

8) Presumably the same outfit that was doing kid's trailers BITD?

The smaller Beinn's min ins leg is 3cm too big, he's only just 6 and has an ins leg of 17" (many 4 year olds are bigger) May have to leave it a year as, having read around on wheel building and dealing with mismatched hub/rim combinations, the hub conversion could be a bit beyond me.

Thanks Jamie, I'm now starting to think about the bits I need and all the tools I don't have It's seriously tempting to gradually work my way up to it :D Not sure what the tubeset is on this one, just says DB CrMo Taiwan Giving this more thought and bearing in mind a very tight budget...

I'm starting to think I might have to attempt to rebuild his existing rear wheel with a 70s SA 3spd Could this be my first retro project? :D The bike is the legendary "Dennis the Menace" :twisted: I've done some work on it already, it's basically this frame but with all the cr4p taken...

Yep you're on the money mate, USB memory sticks/SD cards/CF cards, etc. = no moving parts and considerably better shock resistance therefore more reliable for data volumes up to 16GB or so I use a combination of 8GB USB sticks and a 500GB Toshiba external drive at home For archiving large...

Nice bike but min ins leg is 3cm too big for our Tommy :( Seems like 16" wheels and gears don't go together :?

Hi I'm after a bike for our 6 y/old. Like all our boys he takes after his mum so is wee, inside leg is about 17", so we're talking 16" wheels. Problem is I'm finding it nigh on impossible to search up something with gears, which he really needs to come out on family rides - we live in...

Sounds plausible, the remaining decals are on the head tube and seat tube and they are a fluoro yellow S in front of a purple/pink background. Another sticker says CrMo made in Taiwan :( Paint job and spec looks a good match for that photo Definitely 24" wheels, don't have the knowledge...

In addition to the budgie trivia I believe Mr Capes was responsible for changes to employment terms and conditions regarding time off for sporting activity. Interesting eh? :oops:

Was chatting to a friend who's a psychiatrist about this, he reckons the evidence is less than compelling and that there are lots of potentially muddying factors e.g. whether there's a correlation between those prone to mental illness and those drawn to drug use. Personally I think it's pretty...

No surprise to any mtber having some experience or background with drugs, that's quite a weight though. Similar to Chris Lewis and the coke thing :( Last time I looked into this in detail (about 4 years ago) at least 85% of the UK dope market was domestically produced (home office stats)...

Hiya Trying to work out what model year/spec my wife's old Specialized is. No pics at the moment I'm afraid but I reckon a Specialized guru will work it out. If not I'll get some snaps. Pretty sure it's a rockhopper, purchased 2h in 91, likely over 20 years old. It's a very small...

Thanks mate, got to admit I'm pretty chuffed and almost felt sorry for the fella, hope Mrs ICB is suitably impressed :D

I'm into jap cars as well, would be into older cars if I had more time 1993 Nissan 200SX S13 - pearlescent blue - running stage 2 (C.270bhp) - for sale as soon as it's been serviced 1994 Mazda Bongo Friendee - white over silver - 8 seat MPV/camper 2001 Lexus GS430 - silver...
