Re: Fat Fighters '23

I'm too lazy to check back to when I actually last posted, but after a while of not really riding and for a while I was pretty convinced I was giving up completely, I have recently started getting out more again.

Whats your trouser of choice?

A decent while ago, i asked what peoples fave shorts were and got great answers that me happy in my shorts choice to this day.

Re: Swapping out rigid & suspension forks...?

I used to do it fairly regularly. My headset had a split crown race (courtesy of a jnr hacksaw) so I just swapped that too. Moving the brake calliper is the biggest annoyance, but its not an issue. I just used a small amount of insulation take for the brake hose. Then just need to remember how many ...

I used to really want a 1fg back then. If I recall there was a re-do of the F-Si not too many years ago and I really hoped for a new 1fg then too, sadly didn't get it.

Re: The Bearbones freecycle thread?

Cube Attain frame and fork.

Free if anyone wants to collect it from Glossop.

No postage, CBA. I dont care if you want to sell it afterwards but would prefer if you wanted to use it or at least passed the love on if you do sell it.

Wrong link previously. Frame fork headset only. No groupset.
