And should you need any surf lessons (assuming you can't already surf?!) in exchange for some DH skill pointers then that would be even better Very Happy

Night riding on Wednesday again - always a laugh! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Just had to have a week off due to tonsillitis (ARRGHH!!) but back in the saddle this morning and loved it.

X-isle or anyone else - of you're ever in Cornwall, I know a lot of excellent but little known routes. Everything from fast singletrack to nutty DH stuff (which I leave mostly to others) - also the most mental jump I have EVER seen - only two have done it. 30ft drop, horrible landing, completely bonkers.


I may take you up on that offer Cool

Note i dident say which Feb!
Was about 2 years ago, im about a stone and half bigger now, done FA for a year or so.

Just kicked it off last few months with the lad, been to Sherwood Pines today and found the black downhill section, excellent, had a top day.

My stumpie has been modded sine the pick, chain tensioner device fitted and bigger forks, kind of a downhill hybrid.

I still have my original Orange P7 from '96/'97 if it makes you feel any better... Still in use too I might add.

Craig - I was 50/50 between a Scale (30) and a Stumpy but the latter fitted me better.

Just prefer the simplicity and lightness of hardtails. A bit in the minority though!

If my frame ever dies (about the last original part), it's titanium time Very Happy Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Both great bikes. The thing is, too many people read magazines and think "that's the one for me!", but often it's all about what fits.

If I'm honest, the Scale is a great bike (doesn't matter what model number, although the carbon ones are amazingly light, the Alu ones are light, the carbon seriously so!) however, it's not the most comfortable due to it's extreme XC race stance. If it was a bike I was riding all the time, then it would be something different. Craig Rogers

Well, I've only just seen this thread.

You guys have some cracking bikes...only yesterday I talked myself out of getting an Orange 5, but this thread has reignited the debate (in my head) Laughing

Here's mine anyway, not on the same level as most of you guys, but nevertheless, she's a Specialized Rockhopper SL Expert '10
