  1. I saw huge specials on CRC… might be worth a look (if they got any of those).
  2. Sounds like they had done you in bigg time! I always pay a very little amount and if i divide it through my purchase its less than 16% in total so you need to investigate why you paid sooo much ! Unless you had clothing (including helmet) shipped here.
  3. Please upload the pics of your creation, should be an interesting build (for me i which i could sit a "trap" on the same spot but for some reason its the most boring ride in the world) but its great for weather situations and zone training etc.
  4. Nothing is faster than a road bike….!! whoop whoop! Remember MTb's are build for off road etc. road bikes are build to go fast and to be light! They both great in their own right..but on the road .."road" will win! On dirt..you know
  5. Well….if you ask me you took the bike back in a decent way…(regardless if he bought it from someone else or not..not your problem) …and btw ..its NOT stealing if you take your own property back!! Well done… and it made my day to know a stolen bike was returned!
  6. In my opinion…you can never go wrong with Fullcrum…my favorite wheels !!
  7. Sorry for the loss...i do hope you get sorted real quick with replacement wheel ! Tell me have you done your sprayjob on the frame already....dying to see !
  8. Nice looking machine ...love the white bar tape !!!
  9. Does this happen a lot? and if so whats the prevention ...to take it out alot and maybe add very little grease maybe?? havent happened to me "yet" so ill try to prevent it.
  10. Wow...what a Sweet ride !!! Whats parts you got on there? and any idea what the complete bike weights?
  11. Very sorry for your loss... but its not the hub's fault, the criminals found a way in as they always do.. maybe you can get details or track them from here if they are on here! Anyway i hope your insurance pays out (i don't have any and should) and i hope the ass*^%$& gets caught soon.. and when they do they should hang him on a bicycle rack!!
  12. mmm...maybe i should keep my other baby next to me side..then im sleeping beteween 2... ! Very exite !!!
  13. 99% of time you will (but still worth buying there) but I have been lucky to receive my goods without and payments. Tyres have never attracted attention but bigger parts have. also check out chain reaction cycles and bike24
  14. Your grouppo is RED hot !!!
  15. Hope you dont chain that to the post... youll only have a rim left by tomorrow..if your lucky!
  16. Tell your friend to ride the bike backwards..sure hell go faster then! And next time please go with him when he buys a bike...we need more of us in this world!
  17. I would finance a bike (through my credit card) as im paying little interest... yes bikes depreciate but if you see that bike that you always wanted and its on special..why not throw in the cc and pay it off..N nice bike imn my eyes are an investment (all the joy youll have)and you can always cut on some "unwanted take outs" and save on that rather..and youll be enjoying that bike for 10 years but the take out foods and silly things will be out your system in 2 days ...(if all parts work correctly). So i would use a credit card but with caution ! And if you do...pay a little more every month and if you add up all the interest after the period youll be surprised how little you actually paid (take into consideration the discount you got the bike on also). Respect the bike and see it a a positive asset and let the bike "appreciate your joy" in the future!
  18. Soooo cant wait to build my next bike ! on that point... can anybody tell me where i can get the best price/ shipping on Sram Force group set? The best i found so far was on bike24. anywhere else i can have a look? (also heard bike24 shipping is a bit messy...but wouldnt know as i always bought from CRC).
  19. I also have no issues with their quality..as stated before some are really way better than local stuff! Been using them for around 7 years and goes through a season with no issues!
  20. For that i would recommend a second hand bike, im sure youll get a decent older bike with 105 on it. If he dont like cycling (which i would doubt) he can resell it.
  21. Hi Lone One.. Would you mind telling us what they weight ? Like frame (size) seat post and fork... would love to know this! They look great btw...happy you got it and im sure its going to be a stunning ride !!! and please keep posting photos especially after paint and build!
  22. Was just going to mention top-fire bikes.... really love them.. and great wheels ive heard !! Havent bought yet..still undecided on what frame will suite me best !
  23. Good stuff !!!
  24. Goodness me......thats why roads are only for bicycles!!! ;-)
  25. Thinking someone like Peter Sagan will bring home the bacon...depending on strategy used! Also i would loveeeeeee to have team spain for a grand tour...wawaweeeeewa !!! Go berto !!!
