you deffinately need another MTB though.
i stick to
1 Fast and light hardtail
1 Full suspension for playing out
1 Road
1 Tour
I do have a frame stored in the loft, but thats because I do really like it and will go back to it at some point

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
The much slated superstar components have cheap wheels
Their own hubs, crest rims and sapim race spokes for £200
http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... cts_id=496
Even if I have to re-tension everything the rims and spokes alone would retail at nearly that price.

Winter Miles
In some strange attempt to get fit and competitive at these ITT things I have been trying to get out and get plenty of rides in. Its not easy to stay motivated when all my riding pals are saying no-way to evening rides so it inevitably means getting out and putting in miles alone. The boredom of roa...

I'm hooked - Whats on the horizon?
OK, so following the BB200 I'm already lookin for the next event / ITT.
I know winter is a pain but theres probably some other events worth a crack at right?
What are peoples plans? or was one enough?

Re: BB 200 ... and so it begins
aye, very well done to all finishers. 15 hours is frankly superb!
I got myself a blue badge this year, although I did sleep for a fair while.
My lights proved hugely inadequate, as did my legs... :D
I'll be back next year chasing a black badge.

Bike *should* be good to go, I ride it regularly and providing its still working when I put it away after a ride tonight, its staying that way.
Food is my biggest bug bear, I could carry a stove and pasta, or could try to survive on energy bars and malt loaf! :D

OS are great maps but they never seem to be in the middle of any areas I want. Does anyone know the map numbers that cover the route? I expect landranger would do.
I have a GPS but I'm not familiar with the area and maps are a nice back up.
