Are you heavy?

Thought my ears were burning  ???

I am some what heavier than 13 stone.......I think my leg weights that  :(

I'd go for a Renthal layback never bent even with my bulk  :crazy2:
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

looking forward to merseyride my Dad is stuffing some metal and no nails into the layback as a temp measure :LolLolLolLol: going to diet and build my strength up as I really want to learn loads more tricks, tried a gut lever and felt so old and weak :LolLolLolLol:

I can now roller skate non stop for hours without getting out of breath so fitness has improved, going to watch loads of old school stuff on YouTube to learn stuff .I want to do all the really early stuff we did as kids like kerb endos , front hops, back hops :)

Most are made of thin guage lower grade metal Chromed over these days mate, I have an unbranded  Alloy one thats approx 2mm wall thick guage on the GT.. Strong as that mate.

Seen the tricks on Youtube your getting there again  :daumenhoch:

GT have always been good but elf, DK, exposure, 4jeri etc, most early 90s posts are nice n strong.
