Jacksprogis Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You can ride fine in snow if its actually just snow and not been trudged into ice already. The white one's mine. It was originally a Revolution (EBC own brand) something or other, but other than the frame I think everything has been swapped at least once now. Macc the first pic eh mate ? Ride up there alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateRC Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wow, that bike is shiny!! Did you just use water then dry it off? Clean out all the bearings? I gave the bearings in my crank a good clean the other day, feels so much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.0dundee Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Orange or lime green make it one colour use your rims/stem/bars/seat post for your 2nd colour Also ditch te grips and get a set of lock ons and decent bar bungs mate had those grips and no bung tried a toboggan end result bar went 3 inchs into his thigh Edited January 26, 2013 by 3.0dundee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateRC Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 I love the look of your orange! But think I'm going to go with some a little more neutral... I cba to paint rims stem or bars so will have to fit in with them! Maybe completely white frame with black bars (which I already have) and black forks? Would get a new saddle, seat post and grips as they wont fit in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateRC Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 I love ODI grips and I have bungs, they lock in with a screw at the end... They're good enough for me I have a set of lock ons on my mountain bike but the feel horrid compared to ODI's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateRC Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 The number one rule when buying a bike, DONT GO TO HALFORDS! If you have a bike shop near you, pop along and see what they have mate For general riding and fitness, you either want a mountain, road or fixie bike Road bikes and fixies are similar however fixies only have one gear and are very simple compared to road bikes! Road bikes usually have 21+ gears... Have a look around and see what takes ya fancy Let us know if you find anything and post a link to it or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 yes they did do that scheme but then they stopped doing it, i didn't want a bike then but started to want one for few weeks now. i do like mountain bikes alot but i just don't know which is the decent ones though. i do not fancy spending thousands though cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
