No.6 must have been pissed?? Enjoyed that until I noticed one of the people filming was on a recumbent and then I just felt sick. Wierdo's!

Right then, because there was a call for more bike pictures, here are my choices ...







I think I'm going to have to do a Monkeytassle and get pissed then just dive in! but then how do I get to the shop if I'm pissed?

It's a complicated business fooling yourself - though I know which one I really want.

Anyway, no-one answered my question ... how much quicker and easier will I go on one of these beasts compared to a MTB, roughly?

Shit! they came out big!

Earning the money to buy a bike unfortunately - whey, pretending to ... I'll be posting shit on here.

I'm right at the tipping point of making my decision. I know the feeling, I've had it regularly and don't know why I even pretend that I'm not going to act on it - I use the reasoning that I'll need to buy pedals, roadie shorts ( ), a new helmet and roadie shoes as the subduing aspect.

I'm in turmoil!

Stop fucking about Flav and get it bought....You know it makes sense
Any yes you will fly compared to a MTB, as for pedals,shoes, helmets etc there are loads of online bargains about.

what are the spec's of those three bikes ?
The black one looks best but depends on groupset/wheels etc.

Got to be a Cube ?

Bit of a Dolan fan myself

Really like the new Planet X RT57, and in some nice colurschemes too now (apart from the fluorescent yellow & green!) and amazing spec compared to other bikes of a similar value. Also a contender for Bike Radar's bike of the year 2012.
