Big Len the Nottz Kingpin has lent me his S&M Holmes ƒ&ƒ after I nearly brought the S&M with dodgy brake mounts on ebay.

Building it up now to test @ T1 Tuesday and ride @ Corby for Gary's Birthday.

Lets see what all the fuss is about then...

Oh FFS Ed, don't be a sheep man........to quote a dodgy hip hop tune "don't believe the hype!"

S&Ms are like fair trade coffee or organic Bananas. Its as much to do with the amazing product, as it is to do with the knowledge thats its come from an ethical background.

If you don't tighten your rear axle bolts enough you'll end up looking like a human unicycle

...can't believe I sold those FIT FAFs now... would have been perfect

swapped Len's pedals for some Fusions, running my San Marco seat, Hoffman bars and Peggy Mitchell pegs to protect the frame... was hoping to get a ride in tonight but work said no. Gonna try and get to T1 tomorrow

Take the rosy specs off alex!! Moeller is a legend, broke convention several times but a straight up businessman.

HOLMES, Best frameset ever?? I think so. Was it accident or design...

I meant Ethical in a BMX sense. A true Rider owned company. I'd say the same about Standard, FBM, and more recently United and Bicycle Union. Its not just a matter of buying products that work great (esp as most new BMX parts are pretty much the same now) but making sure your £ go to people who have earned it (in a BMX sense).

nosepickben · « **Reply #22 on:** October 11, 2011, 01:12 PM »

You're right, sorry if i offended you Alex, I'm a big S&M fan as you probably know. I love the tongue -in -cheekness....
You can't make money out of bmx alone by being ethical tho!!!
Quickly back to topic before i gain a few loathers...
Hope you enjoy riding a Holmes as much as I do mate.

Ben, when are you gonna get your arse down to the Boardroom with us mate?

Do you want me to drop you a line next time and see if we can fit you in the motor? I know you're a lot better rider than us old-timers, but the Boardroom is a hoot mate and the trip from Sheffield is only 60 miles, so just over an hour (I have to do the speed limit due to the most ridiculous amount of points on my licence you've ever seen

)

Cheers bud
