@Golf_GT_TDI defo this Winter Re: Snow mate, great vid too, they look like controlled fun, on a tight trail too
@nige bcs: what's the kerb weight mate? not sure I need that much bike though

[col]

Alright Scotty
Yeah, it's a Scott scale 35 carbon frame.  My bike weighs 10kg, that's about 22 lbs in old money I think.  I bought it in 2012 so no idea where you'd find another now, but if you can find one I'd well recommend it. Top bike ....

Dragging this from the depths :)

22lbs is super light... bought a cheap Orange Crush frame and whacked on all the bits from the P7 and converted into a slick hybrid.

With decent tyres; Magic Marys and 140mm Fox, my old Crush is 31lb LMAO!



Thread revival because I want to see some new metal :)

Love those S-Works :)  Could never understand why they had Triples though, kinda like the Orange 5 of that era.  You tempted to swap out for a Bash?

Grabbed this off fleabay the other day for £12! bargain...

Cheers mate, I had heard something but not seen the full release, interesting times.  My mates keep telling me to swap brands and get into a Yeti or Santa Cruz, they do make some nice metal for sure.

@Newbieintown what's the max you can put on teh S-works? Looks like you have about 120mm there.  My mate has a 575 Yeti which is a really nice but has a bit of limit front end... we looked at a Yeti SB5 today £4k with £2k off list... lovely machine, but waaay out of my price range.

I only have 100mm travel so not really able to go to crazy on it, doesn't help am big boned haha. To replace mine it's insuranced for 7.2k, more than my car is worth haha. I tried out loads before buying mine some bikes just didn't feel right, just wanted off as soon as I got on them.

This year got a cheap roadie for fitness and am liking it just this weather sucks.

Not the best picture but got an Orange Alpine 160 that I built up, 160mm travel fox front and rear. SLX groupset, ice tech brakes, dropper post, tubeless tires... She's a beast!

Is that Llandegla?; came off there the other week in the snow/ice, did the Black run just fine then binned it behind the hut, hahaha.

Some mint bikes on here, love the Chameleon @white91 is that a KMC chain, colour scheme is cool.

I hear that mate, I can't be assed with slick tyres in the winter, esp. if you use cycle paths... Dark nights, Wet leaves, dogs off leads, etc etc... Its one of the reasons I got back into mountain biking for the winter., grip :). I do love getting out on a crisp cold dry day for a blast though, nothing like the speed of a light bike with slicks after humping around a 30lb+ slack angle MTB.

We're doing Snowdon this December so I need to get on top of the cardio again, hmm. :)

[white91]

Yes mate kmc goldie looking chain!

The chameleon is an amazing bit of kit, climbs well and can handle the downhill, everyone who rides it loves it! I'm more road these days tho
