Some nice matching grips:

This just arrived:

Fair enough Here is me trying to be creative with my iPhone..

Hopes are awesome, but I just prefer the clean look of the Formulas

The last USN series 30km course was way better than this one. To much long boring trails in this route. Once you crossed the bridge back into the barn it was ok, but otherwise not too impressed.

If the taxman is kind enough to me, I might treat it to some formulas ..

Thanks for the info, but the crack is in the rear chainstay which is made of ally. If he knows how to do the wrap on the ally swingarm it might be worth checking him out.. Thanks, although I still don't know weather to thank you or curse you She is going to be a beauty once she's built up though Get too much air, and it might be me $h!tting myself hahaha! Thats why I went for the spikes too..

I can imagine. Those 35's must be bomb proof.

Hahahaha. That's true. Do you think it will start to sound like a hadeda too He is indeed it's the race 28's same as yours i think?

Will be lacing some of these hoops to my hopes next week.

Only problem is that its so pretty I don't want to get it dirty

Indeed I prefer not to discuss that topic! But this is a Sacred Ibis, not a Hadeda one, Hadedas are brown, Sacreds are white ...and they don't make as much noise

Now I just need to get some bigger balls so I can see what this beast is capable of.

Hahaha. I actually had no intention of getting a new frame before the crack, but when it happened something funny happened in my brain. Now I have pre spent my bonus, and my tax money I actually blame Crow for this. He wasnt supposed to know someone selling a HD when I half jokingly asked him

It has a crack in the swingarm which is going to cost +R5k to replace. So I justified a new frame to myself The Trek distributer said I could have it wrapped with a special fibreglass and carbon wrap, which would make it as strong as new. So I might do that and then sell it off cheap. Or it will become a nice ornament in my garage.

I might have a moment tonight in my garage

Bought it locally second hand, so no vat etc. There is a local distributor though, so you would be able to source an Ibis locally

So the postman was kind enough to drop this off for me this morning Building will begin next week...

Hmmm. I have also gone to 1x10 on a double XT crank, and was wondering the same thing. Hopefully some technical buffs can answer this question.

Thanks for the replies, I guess the safest bet would be to just contact them... hopefully the consultant will know what I'm takling about

I was reviewing my insurance schedule, and it states that when transporting your bike, blah, blah, blah... it needs to be secured with an approved lock. Anyone know what is considered an approved lock, and where I can buy one? thanks..

Quite right. Thanks for the correction.

510's - a type of shoe made specifically for riding with flat pedals, like asics are to running shoes Flats, pins - flats are flat pedals, they have pins sticking out of them for your shoes to grip on CB 50/50's - crank brothers 50/50 pedals, clip in pedals that look like flats typically used by downhill riders etc, etc....

Hahaha. ooops... touche lawman! If I could do that jump I would be on the red bull tour... and hey, you're the one doing the baiting, and for some reason I am falling for it every time. Lets just agree to disagree shall we?
