Glasgow Celtic seem to run with the Irish tricolour

i believe its a football team who's founders were irish settlers in scotland...

So when in Glasgow which team would you follow, if you were in to football, Rangers or Celtic ?

And as far as I`m concerned Maradonna is a drug taking cheat, although I`m not bitter about it

and this has what to do with bmx exactly?

i have absolutely no interest in football whatsoever. if someone asked you that question in a glasgow pub, the answer could reward you with a glass in the face or worse.

Hey guys,

just a quick message to say that, the frame in the picture is mine.
as you can tell from the photo the paint has been removed at the gusset.

I removed the paint myself in order to keep track of any crack that may occur.
The reason for me removing the paint in this particular area is due to other forums 'advising' that this is the
most likely place for the frame to crack.

4/5 days ago i thought there may be a crack forming: Teamsano and BSDforever had no idea that i removed the paint from the frame for the purpose of
checking for cracks.

The reason for me not relaying this information to them and 'allowing' my bike to be photographed was to weed out persons wanting to taint
the name of UkBikeCo and owner Darren Block...

For those of you who want to know, My frame is NOT cracked and I am confident that I can trust this frame a LOT more than I can trust other people.
Thank you for an amazing frame Darren, I hope you ignore these negative posts and continue to produce amazing parts.

this is a lie, this frame is cracked.

thanks for filling us in dale.

just a couple of quick questions.

dale, is this your second frame after you broke or cracked a first?
dale, can you confirm the other couple of broken frames in dundee?
dibbly, did you forget to mention these broken frames?

cheers.

hey gordon,

I know you like to argue as much as I do, but honestly I can't be arsed doing it on the internet because it doesn't represent us fairly.

The post was merely informative.
here's a summary

1) my frame is not cracked, but appears to be where the paint is stripped.
2) I don't have x-ray eyes! the only reason i thought there 'may' be a crack forming is mainly down to the 'hate' messages on the internet
(in other words, I half believed what i read and removed paint to spot what 'may' occur early on)
3)I can't comment on the status of other peoples frames, sorry.
4)This is my first frame, and ironically, I hope it's not my last!

Anyway, i hope to see you at the Dundee Jam at the end of month. I'd rather ride than type these days...I am not getting younger and arguing is the same.

Philbert · « **Reply #64 on:** February 10, 2009, 04:52 PM »

i saw the funniest thing the other day with regard to one of these frames.

its the lying that gets me, oh it makes me chuckle

(nothing to do with whats going on in scotland, this is in europe!)

pickle · « **Reply #65 on:** February 10, 2009, 05:03 PM »

i saw one of these frames he other day while i was out as well............it must've been cracked or shyte or something as.......

the bloke had taken off the decals and only left the head badge on......now that must mean it's rubbish and cracked and bent or something?? also the bloke riding was wearing a helmet! so this must mean it's rubbish and going to break if it hasn't already!
also i heard the other day that in timbucktoo they think the queens shyte stinks!

FFS!

fantastic post!

well, i just can't argue with that can i? obviously you've changed your mind a lot since sunday.
maybe i'll take my slr to the dundee jam and i'll get a better picture that'll show it's 'not cracked'.

i'm just going to leave it at that about dale's frame. hope it lasts you well dale!

pickle · « **Reply #67 on:** February 10, 2009, 05:37 PM »

not really wanting to drag this shyte on....but i just googled Snapped Bmx frame and all i got was someone going on about their rubbish WTP frame that snapped doing a 360 off a curb.....nothing about these frames........so there's obviously loads of people shouting off about them elsewhere aint there...................NOT!

I APOLOGISE FOR THE BAD LANGUAGE

don't want to say too much as theres a warranty going through and i won't be responsible for disrupting that,

i would just like to remind some members of the community that 'all this talk' 'are they really' and 'where's your proof' and 'where's the pics' and all the like. its not just being said in forums, its right across the board! all forms of communication, especially in the skateparks, we're still a small community those that ride, most people know of each other and know what people are up too. we talk a lot! and we see things! give each other opinions and advice!

the reason for this being hot topic all the time is simple, 1. its a british brand and its new! 2. its going to be even hotter topic on here as most on here know dibly, plus there's probably more collective knowledge of the industry on here than on any other forum.

personally i think some great things have been said, but also some sh!te, buts its for each to decide on which is which. my opinion has always been clear on these and i've backed it up with factual evidence from day 1, not a vendetta against a company, mearly concern for other riders, if they choose to ride them though, so be it. if they are being made by a secret band of ninjas using ninja technology then that only backs it up further, its a fantastic method with fantastic results for specific purposes, mainly cutting people faces off without snagging!
