pity they only do the 2011 demo as a full kit. I just want a frameset. They ahve the 2010 Demo 8 frameset for Two Thousand pounds, which is not bad.

Ye I saw that too, relatively cheap ye.

Pity I need everything though.

Was pondering that Mavic DeeMax wheelset on here the other day as a start Was lank cheap and never used.

[Capricorn]

R7500? lank cheap? errm

but getit anyway!

but out of experience, unless u can R8k each time u destroy a set, I hope you have another set of 'daily' wheels that can better take the dings etc. I wen with the Mavic EX 823s as my daily wheelset. It's apparently bombproof as UST wheel sets go.

[Thermophage]

well "lank" cheap compared to the usual price of it

Maybe I just ride my current bike into the ground first

At least I can still pedal uphill with it

[Thermophage]

dude...the Life Cycles trailer just made me ... jizz in my pants

Man...I need to ride more often...although I rode thu, fri, sat, sun and yesterday

[Capricorn]

 

At least I can still pedal uphill with it

 

so can i just with much effort and cursing

[DownhillingKing]

The Day I see you pedal all the way up tokai will be the day that the pine trees start throwing money at us.

[Thermophage]

lmfao

Next weekend I am in CT, I'd dig to ride Tokai with you guys sometime

And we can make Cap pedal the whole way...I will supply the Red Bull

[DownhillingKing]

Red Bull won't do it his bike has a marzo so weighs around 3000kg! Gonna need Monsters X 10

 

Sweet dude I just hope I'm here next weekend, but I should be.

[Capricorn]

we both know the pine trees will only throw logs across our paths, so it's not use pedalling all the way up. That's not the point of my trip to tokai. besides, if gives me the chance to joust back at the fools coming down, who shout pedal up, by shouting back: why dont u ride down!"

Here's a helmet cam vid i made before my first DH race, Worlds View PMB. I did a slow run, so i could learn some lines before the race. You might need to brighten up your screen setting, around the 1:50 mark it gets a little dark in the forest.

GoPro was a bit loose in the mounting box, hence the knocking when landing.
