The MTB thread

[northwind]

Hah, I wouldn't commute on it, too nice... I've got my antique carrera rigid mtb for that, it's unkillable. Was supposed to be unstealable, with its hammerite paint and 20-year-old components but now I'm working at a uni it's one of the nicest bikes in the rack Surrounded by decaying Apollos.

Well my cannondale is still in bits so decided to throw an old xc bike together so I could still get out and about but not on a race hard tail.
Took a bit of a pootle along the canal in the sun

Twas a nice day for a pootle, although the wind off the sea was a bit chilly

I've got an orange five black gold, I used to ride swinley and the forest of dean both really good fun but I've just moved to edinburgh and I'm yet to venture out on the mtb.
I hear that Cannock chase is really good but I've not been in about 10 years!

Cannock / Trail centres, after you've been around once... they are a bit pants.

From Edinburgh though... jeez, the worlds you oyster. lucky mofo.

Went for a trek up Mamtor at the weekend, followed by a visit to Jacobs Ladder... nice views and proper MTBing...



But Jacobs Ladder was probably the most overated piece of rocks and boulders I've ridden down, wasn't worth al the hellish climbing to get there.

I have decided to sell my red Pace RC200 F8 18" frame only to fund another bike that I've had my head turned by.

It is in very good condition with only cable rub in the usual places and a small chip on the top tube caused by a friends bike while on a bike carrier on the back of his car.
The frame will come installed with Hope XC headset & brand new Shimano UN (square taper) bottom bracket. The frame is set up for disc brakes but it does have fittings for v-brakes if thats your thing, unfortunately I don't have the bosses to fit the v-brake body onto but have seen them listed on ebay before.
I'm after £450 ono plus P&P, could possibly deliver depending where buyer is or buyer to collect. Own a world famous piece of British built MTB history

It's a pretty good place to be a rider Good XC that you can ride to, great riding that you can easily drive to, Fort William and the Cairngorms in a couple of hours...That there Glentress and Innerleithen too.

That pace looks lovely.
My rc100 was one of the nicest bikes I've ever snapped

cheers, i wouldn't be selling it but need the cash for another bike and I've got a 16" RC200F8 that I prefer over the 18" and fancy something else in the stable

how did you snap your RC100? i bet that was a very sad day
