Fixies and cyclocross bikes, this thread has taken a turn for the worse. I shall now balance it up by buying a new downhill bike...



There we go. Thread repaired! And I'm choosing to think of it as £1400 saved, rather than £700 spent. Mad CRC bargains...

Just because it's manly doesn't mean it's not cycling

Well, I could use my carbon-forked rigid XC bike for downhill racing, but on balance, I think I will instead embrace the ghey. All 8 inches of it.

I don't believe it...another puncture, this time with a 15mm gash in the tyre...so I found myself on the train today £8.60 return!!!

Am online at the moment and have found a GP4000S for £32.99 or there is a Krylion something or other for £24.99...cycling is getting more expensive than bike/car.

The Krylion will do fine if you are strapped for cash. But if I had to choose and money was no object it would have to be the GP4000S
