Hot Meat 3,109 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Wow I thought the first clip was good, but that guy on unicycle must be fit as fookery, I thought they was for clowns lol obviously not lol Any of you bike heads recommend an entry level bike for a 7 year old lad? He really wants to start getting off-road and into the moors and forestry local, it won't be downhill tho just riding to keep him fit?? i would say specialized do best kids bikes for the money. little bit more money for a lot better quality than most We always have paid a wee bit extra to get better, ever since they had the wee balance bikes when they learnt to walk lol he got a good box and a wee mountain bike way no gears, but he wants better for crimbo, cheers for that, my bike is a specialised, funny enough, mine come from local tip tho lollol makes sense mate fair play for getting him into it done the same with mine years ago.its a good sport or hobby and its kept me fit over the years hope he sticks at it Anything to stop them asking g for a PlayStation or Xbox mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eventually what happens is they become to drunk on applause and know not what to do when they hit a front wheel trap, teeth stuck in the floor or down thier gob is usually close behind this happening. A rigid fork early doors stands them in gud sted (wink/wink) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oneredtrim 148 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 got 97 kila always wanted the ti hei hei from early 90s The 98 kila (653 reynolds) is a billy belter. Ti's not all that, truth be told, had five pair of Morati cranks under warranty before i give up and took me money another route, it cracks is the truth of the matter. I once asked Roberts to bespoke me a Ti stem and he told me to f**k off, so i told him i'd pay him a bonny months wages, he asked me was i hard of hearing. It cracks and he can't afford the compo. Kona did actually produce a Ti fork for the explosif (very limited production), one turns up on the WW market about every 3yrs and all the non riders set thier snipers, they realise a monkey very easilly and ride like fudge but that's not the point when your bragging and not riding. Bizarrely the 3 butted project two fork in steel that arrived factory with the explosif is probably the best ever and can be picked up in clean order for a nifty. Sometimes less is more.
