yes as Gary says it's a Proper Proclaimer in Raw finish

@ Joe! i never noticed that.......it's attention to detail you know!

Gary........i think we all need to bring cake!

MAN THAT BIKE IS SH1T.

only joking, just wanted to be controversial.

I love it really, if I could justify a new frame I'd get the proclaimer...but just for the twins sticker, not because
it's technically great.

Rob...Cov on the 12th? Concrete park in the morning, you can be home for a late lunch?

crash at mine on the 11th if you fancy a few beers the night before.

Glad to hear you are loving it again Rob, you know i was feeling the same, but now I'm loving it again. No riding this weekend, too wet, but just riding the bike out to my van this morning was great....Chacombe this lunch time if the sun stays out and melts the frost and dries the ramp.

pickle · « **Reply #15 on:** October 06, 2008, 07:36 AM »

thanks Joe

i have to say i'd be there but i've got my lad this weekend and i'm due to meet my 'best man' in London at the Cycle show on Sunday.

but i'll deffo be there on the 17th to see if i can get to grips with Corby again

JT71 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2008, 07:45 AM »

I'll try to make corby in the evening if anyones sticking around on the 17th.

Rob if Jedi's there get him to get you riding the line, start on the small quarter by the wall...you'll learn to drop in one footed as there's no room to get set, over the small volcano, no need to jump it, your cog will miss, hammer down to the big quarter, 180, hit the small step up, then the jump box (i always swere around that) then anothe rjump box, back to the start.

see if you can follow someone first time on the step up to get the speed right.

I'm sh!t at it but Kendo got both step ups first time.

the bikes looking great mate, its true the less you ride the harder it is to stay into it, sadly with all my problems ive given up and only have 1 bike these days, i poped on recently to chat to del about some stickers for my rc projects im doing great to see members still riding, thats what its all about

pickle · « **Reply #18 on:** October 06, 2008, 07:58 AM »

hi ya mate! hope you're still getting out on the fixie?? and all's okay??

Joe, yeah i can do that line but Volcano's get me every time! i just can't bring myself to go over em.........i'll have to try and get the technique down where you kind of stall in the air and drop back down but it scares the fooking life out of me!

zed4130 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 06, 2008, 08:08 AM »
