Well, did you really think sending a rude email to a seller of something you wanted to buy would get you anywhere? the advert said collection only, GradeA said no to posting, there was no need to get sarky and insulting in your email. You are exactly the reason I have asked Dave not to sell the...

Thanks for that :) I'm really hoping the Camber doesnt end up being seen as the Stumpys cheap, ugly step-sister as it has a lot to offer in it's own right. Got some pics of her all muddy after the weekends ride - will upload and post them up :)

Hello - for those of you who don't know I am GradeAfailures OH. Apologies to all of you who have been in contact regarding the Marin but the bike is no longer for sale as I can't bear to see him sell it. I've just bought him the bits he needs to get the Trance up to scratch, thus the Marin...

Thanks guys.... I can't explain how happy I am with it. I had planned to get the womens Myka FSR but they didnt have my size in the last of the 2010 stock so I hung on for the 2011 launch, thankfully I got the chance to sit on a Myka and HATED it with a passion, tried the Camber, loved it and...

yummy yum yum...! I hope your Mrs liked it. Read lots of good things about these when I was looking into potential WSD bikes and lots of good things about Santa Cruz in general.

my new ride.... I was lucky enough to get it through my companies cycle to work scheme, got out a few times before the snow and LOVED it. Making a few adjustments now - saddle, grips etc - and hoping to get some weight off it too. Also got my eyes on some shiny, and lovely and light...

Oh My God you're a cock...! Removed cos I only replied when furious - however I still mean the comment above...

ooh, cheers for the links - interesting to read the original spec, looks like most of the LX stuff I have is correct, which is good! and yeah, I'm not sure which one is cooler either. They are both works in progress, though I expect the bike to be built well before the 'Rado is finished!

Thanks for that CAS, I'm trawling the net now trying to research whats available. Ideally I'll go with something retro-ish as I'm not sure I like the OTT styling of some of the modern saddles but equally I want it to be comfy..! Just put pics up in the gallery... 8)

I heart Retro Cars, just got this months issue in today. I work for the company thats buiding the Editor, Si Jacksons, MK1 Polo so we know him and the Performance VW boys really well.... Well done for getting in the mag - some cracking motors in it this month.

Right - I guess it's time I properly introduced my new project.... Everyone meet Rouge... :) Sadly my beloved Bontrager Race Lite got eaten by rust and developed several holes in the tubing. I cannot tell you how gutted I was when OH showed me :( and it was my birthday too, was not...

Right, so, the GT build is entering the final 'buying shit' stage and we should be ready to put all my lovely shiney bits on the frame in the next couple of weeks - however I'm still missing a saddle and tbh I'm not sure what to buy. My previous Kona had a big padded womans saddle and I hated...

Right - it appears that this is the bit I am missing from the frame. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do to replace it?

My current daily is this - Bought off a customer at work for £100 with 3 sheets of MOT failures - now MOT'd and on the road but still in a state of repair, currently sorting a dodgy idle problem. Its a 2.0 16v and my third red one. The body work lets it down so I have decided not to...

Its mine, all MINE.... <does happy dance>
