||||
| D |
i dont have a picture of my bike atm; but i ride a specialized 06 s works fsr stumpjumper; soon to become a decent all mountain bike when i get my new shizz!!
|
||||
| Pires |
hhmmmm... super sweet! |
||||
| Pires |
I'm riding an Orange Crush as standard apart from few minor upgrades. Think I may have parted with a few notes for some FOX VANILLA RC2 36 07 FORKS by the end of the week as Marzocchi Z1 Sport RV need def. upgrading. Will replace headset, stem and bars for something more Freeride.... Raceface looks the best option. Good upgardes for a strong, rigid frame? | ||||
| Ben03 |
Raceface is good. Especially the evolve stuff is coming down in price nicely if you're on a budget (get a nice stumpy stem  )
Here's my current rigs: 
|

| jake-snake |
how do you put up a photo?
also love the Hard tail |
||||
| Ben03 |
Use something like photobucket ( www.photobucket.com ) and upload your images from your pc. When it has uploaded you get underneath the image a load of code options, select the IMG one and then paste it into a post on ze forums! Tis free and quick to set up a photobucket account as well  .
Cheers. Hardtail rides nice! Is a long frame to suit the lanky rider
|
||||
| phils010 |
i ride a bighit, but im trying to get an sx at the mo
also now have pro 2/double wide wheel set on it. 
also have a kona scrap but i hardly use it |
||||
| jake-snake |
lets see
(Heffers: there you go) |
||||
| jake-snake |
thanks what did I do wrong
I worked long and hard for that bike very good all round rig. |
||||
| Ben03 |
Phwoar that's a nice bit of kit there Jake-snake! (i'm talking about the dolls house )
How does the gear box run? phils010 let me know when you get the SX as am looking at getting one as well. |
||||
| jake-snake |
the TFR is awesome I have taken it on 4 hour xc rides and also hammered it DH but it also jumps very well. As for the gear box it never let you down, you get the right gear every time. When were out riding next you must have a spin | ||||
| Pires |
Anyone know anything about 24 downhil bikes? Seen a frame for a 24 DH3. I thought 24 were more dirt/hardtails and BMX? | ||||
| robbo |
I'd pass on that if your serious. I'm sure they are fine but not a respected downhill brand really. |
||||
| Pires |
Indeed. Confirming what I thought. Thanks Robbo. | ||||
| lemmy |
Here's my Spesh XC Comp, I've upgraded the forks and used a shorter stem. Speedball seatpost has recently been added.
|
||||
| JAW |
there's already a thread for this in the photography section but hey! Some nice rigs there!!
Post mine later... |
||||
| Ben03 |
Yeah i no seemed quite interesting though so let it go
|
||||
| Pires |
Sorry guys! Should have looked to see which threads were already there! But hey!! | ||||
| Ben03 |
No its all good and helping keep things moving. Keep em coming!
Lemmys pic has given up displaying 
|
||||
| lemmy |
That was my fault, it's back now | ||||
| robbo |
PatriotGets cleaned once a year so I thought I'd plonk a pic up.
[/img] |
||||
| JAW |
It didn't sell then in the end? | ||||
| robbo |
No and I have to say I'm quite pleased really.
Hope the Flow is, well flowing
|
||||
| JAW |
Yeah it is, or was, until some twats trashed our trails!! It is a pleasure to ride/jump!! |
||||
| robbo |
Here's the new machine - rides like a dream.
different angle 
and the full garage - with the beast of the bunch in pride of place
|
||||
| Wiener Schnitzel |
Very nice Robbo! Hope to see you with it down the Bull Track this evening. | ||||
| robbo |
Yep - looking good tonight | ||||
| JAW |
|
||||
| Wiener Schnitzel |
Of course I meant the pink trike! An awesome machine! |
||||
| robbo |
It is actually a sweet 'pink bike'
Note the bell on there - taken from the Commencal! My daughter shreds on that thing - tail whips are a possibility for the future and she's even been inverted - well she fell off, but that counts when your 2 surely. |
||||
| Ben03 |
Heh heh tis a long learning curve!
Props for the awesome avatar btw 
|
||||
| JAW |
She must have been going extreme to stack a tricycle! |
||||
| Heffers |
i'm sure some of you had forgotten but i was building a new bike...and here is is almost finished.
|
||||
| Ben03 |
Niice very sleek is that the Norco shore? Like the touches of gold in the components.
|
||||
| Heffers |
It's a Six. Similar to the one Byoco rode to a Crankworks win, only he was running an air shock.
unfortunetly the front rotor may end up being black
|
||||
| JAW |
Nice, like the subtle touches of gold. | ||||
| Pires |
Have you checked out the Spank accessories... they've gone mad for the gold stuff. However it isn't exactly understated. | ||||
| Heffers |
haha...i assume you mean the Royola line?
i've considered it but much of it is just a step too far i think, i might consider the rims if the 6.1's ever need replasing. |
||||
| JAW |
True, too much gold 'bits' can spoil a bike. |
||||
| Metalibiker |
I have my newly bout [a month ago] Stinky. I love it! xD
Nice and clean... http://bedgeburybiker.pinkbike.com/album/ |
||||
| kona crasher |
I rode my Azonic eliminator yesterday at the track for the first time , it was excellent , it rides better than i expected for a 4 yr old frame , Lee's son Jay rode it and said it was a fast bike , i take that as a good thing .
http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2440314/ |
||||
| JAW |
Nice that eliminator looks great! Lovin the stinky too! | ||||
| Syren Sistair |

||||
| phils010 |
sliverfox and mg you both have sweet rides, love the colours on both bikes | ||||
| Ben03 |
Nice mate am hoping to get the same bike next year
|
||||
| robbo |
Hate that colour - where's the baby blue BTW - just realised the canoe in your picture is baby blue You love it really 
|
||||
| kona crasher |
beggars cant be choosers , when the frame cost only £100 .
and i love my blue boat . |
||||
| Ben03 |
You have permanently scarred Robbo CK. No going back now
|
||||
| yorkey |
This is my new ride its a 2008 specialized pitch pro im just starting to get the hang of a full suss
|
||||
| Ben03 |
Wowah that's a seriously neat rig. Didn't realise that model even existed 
|
||||
| lemmy |
That's probably my ideal bike | ||||
| Pires |
Had good reviews and Dirt put in in there Top 100 aswell. Ride XC to the jumps and DH, ride them all day and then cycle home!! Jack of all trades with good Geo. | ||||
| yorkey |
yeah thats why i baught it as a do it all rig it even rides street ok cause its a med frame need to get some heavy deuty springs for the pikes as im 16st and the fork is set up for a max 80kg are there any rock shock dealers is tun wells??
PS in not fat just realy big boned!!!!!! |
||||
| phils010 |
looks nice, not to sure about street on it tho.
heres my new build. 
im just swaping all the part from my bighit over, untill payday. got the frame for £500 on tuesday. |
||||
| yorkey |
That looks well smart m8 and a bargen to!!!!!
have you sold the big hit frame might know some one who's after a new frame |
||||
| phils010 |
still got the bighit frame. | ||||
| Pires |
Excellent!! Great bike, but i'm more amused about the bike building on the dining table..... not just me then!!
|
||||
| lemmy |
That'll be Wildside in Camden Rd. |
||||
| yorkey |
Thanks lemmy your a ledg!
|
||||
| Pires |
They send the shock's off don't they rather than rebuild themselves?? |
||||
| JAW |
£500 for that frame sounds like a bargain! | ||||
| phils010 |
the frames retail at £1099 the frame i got was only 3 months old, so yeh it was a bargain. im stoked with it
|
||||
| Pires |
The Gambler:
|
||||
| phils010 |
that is sweet, always like the look of them frames
looks pretty heavy tho, do you know how much it wieghs ? |
||||
| Pires |
Pretty heavy, but then again its really robust too. Has to be to tolerate my sketchy riding!!
Been trying to lighten it up, but because the frames so much its kinda pointless. It must be around the 37-39kg area. It pretty much weighed the same as Lems "Big Hit" when he had the 26" on the front. |
||||
| Ben03 |
Good to see the Easton bars on
|
||||
| jake-snake |
strong, heavy, expensive
pick 2 out of the 3 |
||||
| yorkey |
looks well lush m8 if it ride's half as good as it looks it must be awsome | ||||
| jake-snake |
forgot to say
the Gambler is Pires he gambels every time he swings a leg over that bike if ever a bike was made for a rider !!!!!!!! 
|
||||
| Pires |
Oh yes!! Caution to the wind, disengage brain and ....... fall off. Although not so much these days!! Looking forward to putting my new found skills ( ) to work at the Bull!!
..... ...... ........ Awaiting piss take remark from Robbo!!
|
||||
| jake-snake |
wont be long now possible open in about 4 weeks
and some dig days as well |
||||
| Pires |
Excellent News!!! |
||||
| Ben03 |
Let me know asap. Look forward to it! Pires you were pinning it the other day
|
||||
| robbo |
I merely stand back and comment on what I observe - you, my dear Pires, provide all the content
|

My new ride!Hi Guys, new to the forum, just built up a Meta 4x, thought you'd like to see.
|
||||
| lemmy |
Looks sweet. Are those Rockshox Recon? | ||||
| Randy |
Cheers, There only Reba's but not a bad fork, Prob the next upgrade.
I Updated my old GT and then swoped it all over to the Meta frame. Loving the 4X handling, of the Bedge later, I saw some new single track the other day, give that a go. wohooo. |
||||
| JAW |
Looks great! I bet it handles well too. | ||||
| Randy |
I think I got used to the old Gt This thing Rocks! Unbelievable!! Only slight prob is I'm not used to wide bars lol Trees jumping out at me lol,
The Dirt jump section in the freeride bit on the 4x is just incredible! Would love to come and have a play at the Bull Track sometime, my mate Yorke went the other day and said it was great! |
||||
| lemmy |
Lee sorted me out some matching forks. Good work Lee! |
||||
| robbo |
It's a 5 bar gate now! | ||||
| jamie |
Is that a 24 inch on the rear ? | ||||
| lemmy |
24 both ends innit | ||||
| kona crasher |
Does that make it a kids bike !!!!!!!! | ||||
| lemmy |
It's a big kids bike | ||||
| Pires |
Love the gate!
Looks to be sitting up alot more at the front. |
||||
| JAW |
Nice, love the colour coordination! | ||||
| lemmy |
Same size forks as before. I changed them because the Jnr Ts were too sqaushy. When the Boxxers went on, I found I was carrying more speed but also overclearing stuff I wouldn't of before at the same speed. I think the old forks were sucking all the momentum out of everthing. Comfy though.
(Yes Rob, I have some time on my hands today, will probably go and clean my hubs with a toothbrush later) |
||||
| robbo |
good work fella... |
||||
| Metalibiker |
Just had the first clean in like 4 months so thought ide take some pics =)
Upgrading as fast as possible, looking to buy boxxers and a dhx5 next. spec list so far on request =D http://bedgeburybiker.pinkbike.com/album/Updated-Bike-Pictures/ |
||||
| phils010 |
imo id stick with the van r, its more reliable then a dhx and you wont hardly be able to notice the diferance in performance.
a new set of forks is a good idea tho
|
||||
| yorkey |
just baught my first big rig its a bit tatty but i think it could look awsome with some TLC its a 2006 A line
only paid £600 for it 
|
||||
| jake-snake |
for that money thats a real sweet rig
Bull track thrasher |
||||
| yorkey |
yeah m8 i hope so!!!
the forks are leaking oil real bad tho tring to sort out some compensation with the seller as its goin to cost £120 to get them TF tuned thinking about getting a costom paint job as its heavaly chip'd any color sergestions?? |
||||
| Pires |
Digital Camo!! Was going to get the Gambler wrapped in it! Nice Rig York |
||||
| robbo |
You should wrap it in Swiss flags (Red Cross) |
||||
