' Wrote:Nah, larger suspension does evil things on bicross tracks or larger jumps in general and it's quite exciting already as it is, heh. I prefer jumps to drops. I'm using it also for cross-country riding and whatnot. Not the best choice but at least I can pick whatever I want, except hardcore DH.
Yeah, I've been riding for a few years as well, but I lost interest in keeping track of new components as soon as I realized that what I have is perfectly fine and when I started to do other things. Then again, after the failed nofoot can which made a crack in my integral . . . well I'm way more cosy.
Fair enough.
Personally, I find the older components to last longer.
If that is what I think it is, I recommend health insurance.:mellow:
' Wrote:Urban tyres!? Are you mad?! I have off road tyres on it at the moment, no idea what they're called, but I love the trails, would prefer to be able to cycle those than fast on the road. Good advice on the steel stuff, thanks:)

It is nice oldtimer, mine is with marathon plus tires from Schwalbe 3 speeds in the rear hub and it is really nice bike, around 12 kilos is the downside but it is 30 years old and works perfect.
I think it is still lighter than some of mine. Q_Q.
But yes, looks alright.

so now i just use the rentabike things they have around london. if your quick you can cycle from rack to rack, dock it within half hour, and then carry on, getting a free ride.
they're damn heavy though
Kryptonite locks and a U-lock.
What did you have on it?

Bah, I hate bikers here. I almost flattened a pack of them riding in the middile of the road in my Deuce and a half. 14600lbs truck does not stop on a dime. I would have been pissed if wiping out a bike heard would have brought my insurance premiums up.

Well, i will be riding my Viking Super Roadster with the drop handlebars
and the dual-thread wheel-rims, and with my Wiley-Prat 20-1 synchro-mesh
i should experience difficulties on the sort of road surfaces you just don't get abroad!..Mitzie.

Been cycling 30km per work day for 5 years now. Same bike too. Which is no problem in Dutchland, seeing as that where there's a car road, there's a cyclist lane.

I know how you feel. Road cyclists annoy me. But I am more XC and AM, so, no worries. Unless you are going offroad. In which case, I must summarise my emotions; Q_Q.

A commuter I see. Healthy for you and everyone else.:)
Also, good plan. Australia needs to develop this. Q_Q.

Mate, bicycles. Bicycles.:P

Neh. Neh! Not a real bike.
Kinda envious of the commuters out there. Upstate new york isn't exactly friendly in that regard. (Though we have a purdy sweet rail trail system. 30 miles of good tarmac, with pleasant views and shade. Makes for some fun afternoons)

Yup us haz bicycles... MANY bicycles
Which reminds me I forgot to put the bicycle chain back on, and while that sounds simple, trust me it isn't with my annoying gear case Q_Q

' Wrote:Yup us haz bicycles... MANY bicyclesWhy not? It works. And in cases like my own, no more need for the gym after you cycled for 2 hours through city, countryside and bridge-land (bridges every 5min or so -.- ).

Also, what's a commuter? New word.

Now I use my mountain bike for transportation although I got a car too, but I used to go riding in a neglected part of a forest where you had wonderful steap muddy slopes and fallen trees over trails. The bikes I had were usually cheap-ass but still good deals because they were light and with shimano parts.
