I'm in!

[vlj]

Im there!

Next weekend obviously, just to clarify

[Niall]

What on Vaughan? You bought a bike at last or borrowing one?

[Jonny81191]

Vaughan's bought my old bike, right Vaughan??

[Niall]

I think a bright green set of Marzocchi Bomber z150s would also go well with that bike if Vaughan put £30 in my pocket.

[Eeyore]

Looks amazing but I havent been on a bike for years D:

TBH for £60, that'd be the makings of a damn good bike!

[Dum-Dum]

My bike is still shagged so I'll be giving chicksands a miss

[Scott]

Doesn't matter dude, it's a great place for all abilities, pop along. Even if you don't ride we'll all be there!

This. It really is for all abilities!
Might be able to hop in with me as well if you want a lift.

[Dum-Dum]

Currently bidding on a new frame on ebay so hopefully come pay day ill have a working bike

[Niall]

Ive got a set of Marzocchi Bomber z150 SL's for sale. Bright green with carbon fibre logos. Still work fine other than bushes are starting to go which can lead to a little bit of tuck under under breaking but I'm sure someone can find some replacements. They were serviced with genuine seals and oil and then only did about 5 hours of riding. £40



Dog not included in sale.

[Dum-Dum]

Awwwwww dude, seriously tempted.

Which bushes do you mean, are they leaking, how much travel and do they have a lockout?

[Niall]

No they aren't leaking at all. There are bronze bushes in the top of the legs to stop play and they are starting to show signs of wear.
Yes they have lockout and a 20mm front axle.

[Dum-Dum]

Ah 20mm bolt through? let me look and see if I can get a conversion for my front wheel.

[Dum-Dum]

Looks like I can get a 20mm conversion for my hub

[Niall]

Then they are yours if you part with £40 for me!

[Dum-Dum]

I need to see how much I get paid dude as the DH frame I was looking at has had a price drop.

[Rich306]

I won't be able to attend any weekend mtb this month....

[Dum-Dum]

Aston Hill is definitely a terrible idea in the wet. I managed half the XC course before giving up. Was constantly having to put my foot down and properly came off 3 times then to top it all off I fell over pushing the bike so I gave up. Wet hard pack chalk and many many roots made it lethal.

I was massively cheered up while pushing my bike back up watching people on full downhill bikes coming off in places that I had managed to stay on though.


I'm going to Swinley Forrest tomorrow though which should be alot more rideable.

[Dum-Dum]

Anyone up for Swinley Forrest the Monday after Christmas meet (8 days time) as It was brilliant today and I'm going again next week.

[Grant]

I'm off work then, could be well up for that!

[Dum-Dum]

Sounds good to me, Spoony is coming too. I was planning on doing all the blue and the second half of the red from lower star post and back.

[martyn92]

Any group plans at all for north wales or lakes area?
