Nowt wrong with Halfords either, I source much stuff from my local branch and have bought several bikes from them over the years. Rubbish service and dire mechanics can be found in many more prestigious retailers not just them. They are my LBS and the independent ones around here have often been poorer at customer service than them. Thats a good bike Gaz, brilliant VFM.

Re:

Cheers, does seem to ride well over the limited runs I have done, I have not been offroad for an age so am like bambi on ice with the new machine. Defo need to get over Mr K, however I will be a bit girly on the downs until I get my fat tyre eye in, its been all on-road work of late.

Hawmaw, all retro gone- two road bikes and this bike to work 29er in the garage now which is a bit of a shame- I have another 29er Surly karate monkey but a stuck seatpost and siezed discs means I will prob sell that soon. :?

Re: Re:

Nothing wrong with that Gaz.

I agree. They consistently get good reviews and are great value for money. Only bad point is that you have to get involved with Halfrauds.

The only time I got involved with Halfords was to hand them some paper and walk out with a bike in a box. Not been back since

Looks like you've got some seriously steep hills near you Gaz

Re:

Yeah it is indeed think it's days are numbered as I can't see my oldest using it now and it's just taking up space now.

Re:

Cleaned out the "man cave" (found stuff I'd forgotten I had :shock: ).
Then rebuilt some Shocktech forks, saved some of the original elastomers and supplemented them with some Pace elastomers, fitted some rubber gaiters I found whilst sorting through the man cave, then applied decals from Gil_m. Covered the legs in helitape too to protect the decals.
Almost there with the front disc brake, just needs a spacer and cable I think.

 

[firedfromthecircus]

Is that disc not on the wrong side? :?:

I ordered these today.

Some experimenting coming up I think.
