I usually crash due to acting like a tool, so I pop up, wriggle the brake lever like I know what I'm doing, and pedal out of site so I can cry in private.

This one seems intriguing, but how is it steered?

This rig reminds me of an episode of Southpark. U know the episode i'm talking about.

I want a tri bike or maybe a cross by Surley. Maybe a Litespeed Blade tri bike. Nicest bike i've ridden was my friends Eddie Merchx.

I've heard a lot of good things about them too , apparently there as good over cobbles as the great man himself

Nice looking bike mate, I like it

[Tarrodemierda]

hey thanks man.its fully handmade @ 2003.im about to upgrade it a bit with 170mm single crown manitou fork.

Clean that bike immediatly

What is it mate (not really up on mountain bikes )

It was cleaned after that bike ride, it was a little while ago. The bike now has a Fenix Bike Light mount on the front near the handlebars. I'll have to get a quick review done one day, as I haven't seen anybody else with one. My L2D fits in very snuggy, and its easy to operate the torch as its right near your mits

Anyway, my bike is a Carerra LRS3 - http://www.bikemagic.com/review/reviewproduct.asp?sp=332575698920342967346&v=1&rpn=29154

I've had it for about a year and its been great, never let me down whilst I've been out. Even though it was from Halfords originally it has a Kona frame and I got it second hand so didn't pay anywhere near the RRP

Very nice mate (done a quick google as I'm not an expert on bike bits) and those manitou forks look damn good. I have Rock Shox on mine, they're one of their lower models in the range but they're good enough for me.

well i worked and still occasionally in my friends mountainbike shop,so i tend to get my paycheck in bits n  pieces,i couldnt afford to these toys without it.

i also have one rock shocks,its from 200-2002 i think,80-125mm,but i cant remember the model since i´ve torn the stickers off.rides nice too,i have it on large framed trek 4500  23" frame from year....2002 i think.it has single speed set up,with 38t on front and 15 on rear,really old shimano xt hubs and  cantilever brake(on rear only),some .243 racing seat,fattie bar on 80mm/15 deg stem.stock trek cranks and hollowtech bb bearings,some old mavic trail rims and hand made rack on rear,tig welded it from titanium caus ei get it free sometimes.its narrow,short and has fixed cordura tie-ons to pack a tent or what ever on it.i use it mainly on longer trail trips.its nothin fancy and expensive,built from leftovers but so what.

I had one for a while, but decided it was overkill.  I prefer the TwoFish Lockblock for its simplicity.

Which one did you have mate, mines this one...

[NutSAK]

That's the one I had.  I found that I didn't need the angle (left to right) adjustment, and the TwoFish will accept a wider variety of flashlight bodies.

I've nothing against the Fenix though, it works very well.

I mainly just wondered because I know Fenix do one which is velcro and just wondered how good that one was. Those TwoFish don't look bad though.
