You mean to tell you do not have one BigBen???

I thought you would at least honour Quasimodo with a small tat somewhere...

Guys, I sleep in a nice and comfy queen size bed (with my wife), and do NOT need to sleep on wet newspapers...

Just hooked myself up with this fork - thanks Rubel!
Now I need an expanding headset adjuster so that I can install it and experience riding rigid....

Here's my new one,

GT Peace 9r with good old rim brakes and an EBB. It rides amazingly well! Did 45km today and went superbly!

+1 for the Zebra's :-)

Singular Swift:

Jeff Jones loop bar;

Fire-eye headset and BB

Arch rims on Hope 2 hubs built up by Ruan from Spokeworks

Paul components crank

El cheapo CB pedals

Truvativ seatpost

Forget the stem but not expensive (80mm) and

XT brakeset


Currently running it at 32/20 and rigid. Because I am so unfit I took a fair old pounding with the rigid fork and may just try a carbon fork before considering suspension at all. The Jones bars took a while to get set up because there are so many permutations but just right now (I have a Ragley Carnegie lying around if I want to try a more racing setup)

Absolutely love it

Very nice!

Did you get the Jones direct from his website, or via a different portal?
