can i put that up on singletrack?? 

[jazzyje]

neil,i would suggest going for the best bike you possibly can straight away.buying a a bike and then upgrading is just throwing good money after bad.save up mate.ride to work,take sarnies instead of canteen food.cut down on the fags.before you know it you'll have the dosh.i know mate.i saved £2000 in a few weeks by living like a monk and paid off a holiday.it aint easy but nothing worth having is.the intense is quality though and you wont go wrong with that.enough people who know the difference say their good.

[spillers#1]

The intense is what i ride and its lovely  darren boughton aka buckmore bat has one on order from source bmx

Told the missus i was gonna try and give up again, she said not too, actually costs us more, patches about 25 a week, shopping bill increases by about 50 in chocolate and the like.

The reason i normally start up again, is cos within 3 weeks, i usually put on about a stone.

No other cut backs to be made, start work at 0330, don't eat till i get home, dinner. Could cut out driving to work, but thats only a mile and a hald at most.

Don't drink, do go out, my only luxury other than fags, is BMX. Wife likes to clothes shop, but has to as her job is in the public eye, and she only marginally earns a little less than me. Major outlay is the Mortgage, but the house is worth it.

As Murtagh said to Riggs "those things'll kill ya".

Hopefully the more you ride the less you'll smoke.

[mr.magoo]

couldn't agree more mike. But stress relief comes in 40 a day, believe me i've tried so many times, but soon as i hit 14stone, decide its time to stop eatin and start smokin.

HE'LL BE IN THE SHIT IF HIS MISSUS FINDS OUT HE'S GOT ANOTHER BIKE

[Zippy]

We'd better not tell her then.

I bought a WTP unified, 2nd hand, its bloody excellent, they are about 350 new, but I've seen em on the bay for 250, which near enough what I paid for mine.
351 at wiggle http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/wethepeople_Unified_2008/5360033014/

[Zippy]

Is that the one with the extra bracebar near the headtube?

I thougt they looked really heavy and not really up to racing when Bill used to race one. Then I had a go on one and was really impressed how quick it felt. 

[toys19]

This is it, I love it, weighs 26 pounds, which aint so heavy, feels light enough to me, I can do pretty good bunny hops on it anyway, and just learing to do do little transition jumps, moving across sideways as you jump on to a different landing. Its got loads of good kit on it.

[Zippy]

Yep that's the one. Very good frame on that. Deceptively fast.

I guess having only ever been a social smoker when I was at Uni I've no idea what it's like to need the tabs.  How much does a pack of 20 cost these days?

[Peter J]

I gave up about 4 months ago (when  started back on a BMX) and I feel soooooo much better plus Im saving about £160 a month and putting that to better use.......building my O/S racer and pimping up my Floval

By the way whats wrong with the floval...  T.J apears to be quick enough on one

[se-bmxer]

Exactly nothing, i've never had a problem with mine, plus folks must be buying them as Shiners have only a couple left
TJ seems to be doing his job well in promoting the bike, plus he will be selling it at the end of the season

can we have it stress tested first??? 

[Zippy]

I just found the geometry of it all wrong, the front end is too high for me and I've heard others say the same.

I think it's the SE name and the history that sells them more than how good they are. Back to back with the much cheaper Haro and it's night and day in how good the Haro is.

[KGB Matt]

So basically what you are saying is if you are under 5' 4" the floval feels bad due to its high front . 

Matt

[THIRSTYKIRSTY]

must admit i found the floval high on front end

but at the end of the day its wat ya get used to,,me  mate ran low bars and it rode ok

[Peter J]

I tried a couple of other cruisers before I bought mine and I felt more comfortable on the Floval than any other bike. 
Front end to High ?? Do you mean the head angle makes it feel high or the physical height of the bars.....

[dialledbikes]

Shorter forks (if the Landing Gear cruiser forks have long legs), inverted stem and/or lower rise bars will cure a high front end.

[Dingobmxer]

I had a go on Jai's and the front end was really low, its how you set them up I guess?

  DINGO

Must be the lack of oxygen up there where you breathe but I don't know anyone except Muttley that's that short.
