Hi Every body
Just an intro of me
Was a cyclist since i was a nipper when mum got us a brand new raleigh Chipper,(she knew i lusted after the Chopper but i was too wee for it),I rode that thing into the ground ,the cops took it off me cos it had no brakes,and i was using the main road aged 8,god only knows where it is now.
Next was a muddy fox courier [wish i bloody kept that]light blue frame with white tyres ,had it a few years then some junkie nicked it,
After that it was a Cannondale M200 bright red with an stx- groupset[i think ,the bottom of their range,not their usual nice welds.I upgraded to r/shox quadra somethings,once again a junkie had temporary ownership [i got it back]
Stumphumper next with orange manitou forks and an lx-xt mix
The last one was my 98 clockwork i forced a disc on the back using a small jubilee clip and a bit of a alloy with some holes drilled in it ,no brake boss arms needed here [see pics]i just sold this on e-bay for £400 ,what a loss but i'd had a bad fall off the and it put me off for a bit,but now the orange is sold i find myself at a loss and have decided on another build,i've had steel ,cromo,alloy so now it's titanium(hence the Dyna-ti)
If any one here has a pace rigid with a minimum steerer of 235mm ,Crisp notes are Waiting.
So thats my biking life in a few paragraphs
