  1. Reasons: they stay put, look kiff and don't let stuff in through the edges (had this happen to me wearing glasses) and they also act as a sweatband :-)
  2. yeah, Thomas Sandell. Reminds me of that segment in Builder when Bearclaw is ripping his trails. With a chainsaw in his backpack...
  3. yeah, the SB6c. Continues to get rave reviews. I see it's the new SB4.5c.... 29er 115mm machine. Nice
  4. Blue Steel http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11115/111152141/4648398-blue-steel.jpg
  5. They just took my favourite bike in the WORLD, and made it better Carbon, THREADED BOTTOM BRACKET!!!! And that port at the bottom for internal cabling management and Di2 battery mounting. Brilliant! http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12609657/p5pb12609657.jpg The company's founder also stressed that the last thing he wanted to do was to create another "me to" carbon frame, but rather offer a unique product that would stand the test of time. Future-proof, if you will. The new bike has a threaded bottom bracket shell that, when questioned about, Noel simply said, "We're not f*cking around.'' Fair enough. There's also a port that acts as home to a Di2 battery should the owner want to go that route, and it can be accessed by first removing the bolt-on down tube guard and then unthreading three T25 torx screws. The same port is said to make it simple to route the internal cables that pass down the down tube before travelling up the seat tube and out a specially sealed gland that's tucked up beneath the Fourby4 linkage. Buckley has even made sure that the gland's opening is large enough to allow a SRAM hydraulic quick release to pass through, and the drive-side seat stay also features an internal tube that makes it simple to pass a new cable through. Up front, the cable entry ports can be fitted with one of six differently shaped rubber openings that can accommodate for every imaginable cable routing scenario, even including the 2mm wires required by Shimano's Di2 drivetrain. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12609668/p5pb12609668.jpg
  6. What a retard. Yes, it's okay. Just tell him he no longer has the item...
  7. i see a few late night catchup sessions in my future...
  8. Those are sorted, from what I read. Certainly not like their phase about 2 or 3 years ago, or rather what They were accused of having..
  9. Yep. Especially with the Reign now coming in at that price at the latest shipment
  10. That's the one I have. Except not the Pro. This jobbie http://www.sicklines.com/gallery/data/691/2008_FoxMTB_Interbike02.jpg
  11. And I must have been smoking something, cos this is the one that I was referring to... Which is clearly nothing like the abovementioned ones. Right. More coffee...
  12. I was looking at it and thinking it looked exactly the same as my old POS that would deform if my 3 year old sat on it. With those other colours, it's now clear that it's not...
  13. On the middle & right are GT Fury. Left, I dunno... Maybe a GT Sanction...
  14. Don't touch. It's a re-branded early MET POS. It'll survive a knock to the head, but not much else. Seems I was wrong. Carry on!!!
  15. Yeah, I'm in CT but TBH I dunno. Trail and Tar had a few, as did CWC and a couple of others. Maybe try Olympic Cycles & Bridge?
  16. yep, that's teh one. Still think you can get one around that price if you look for old stock. But I'm not sure - haven't been looking.
  17. Yeah but pre-order only for now... Should be able to get soem at a 661 stockist. Not sure who stocks up there.
