  1. pardon me with the bill murray shout, i meant Joe murray, didnt know he worked for Merlin. If you fancy retro-fit wait for a steel frame and because you'll buy it cheap than chips you can go a little extra on the componentary http://darelldd.com/bicycle/bike_voodoo_bizango.htm
  2. Dont know if you've fluked it or not but bizarrely you're getting real warm there with the voodoo, dont know much about the bike but with that much kit for that little money i'd guesstimate it's more than half shit, that said Halfords did sell steel voodoo's till very late in the day (could'nt move them once the bouncy disc fashion changed) and beautifully crafted steel voodoo biz's sat in halfords up until 04 (from memory)...without googling i think voodoo was bill murray who designed the original kona's....i'll stand corrected though, some yank head who had done more than a bit. Thinking a

  4. Poor pic's allowed this to sneak thru, mint versions of this offering will give a racing bike an hardtime, made between 95 and 97 in forrest green gold and maroon...the eliptical tubeing is specific to this sub variant, after 97 853 tubeing arrived. From memory it should have a white industies front hub that spins for about 15 mins after one spin of the wheel ('darlin's) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kona-Explosif-retro-mountain-bike-1996-/141276245365?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item20e4b86d75&nma=true&si=Trd5UZ5Vy3%252F3Vd58UH8k%252FtRrac8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p
  5. Go full rigid, most of the old steel Kona Lavadomes, Explosifs and kilauea's have triple butted project 2 lead unicrown forks that negate trail buzz and plenty of them can be bought clean enuf for 200. Tange prestige is probably the best steel format (colombus and 853 is a stiffer racing steel/less flex/less compliant). Shimano aftermarket parts are readilly available and anything from LX upwards is gud, xt is a bonus and xtr is for the gary glitters. Thumb style gear shifters are nearly all good and virtually unbreakable with the allowance to drift 4/5 gears should you get caught short.Disc's
  6. it's coming thru about two clock from memory Max,fields for parking, £7.50's been mentioned, plott-up on the rise to holme moss (wink)..you'll see a gud display of strength.
  7. Drugs wont give a human 8 litre lungs Very true. But they do increase the efficiency of lungs, the ability for the heart to sustain increased stressloads, the rate of ATP production, the amount of haemoglobin (and thus oxygen) in the blood. They also increase the number of nerves that fire in the muscle thus increase the number of muscle fibres contracting. They increase the ability of the body's recovery rate, and much more. i'm a bit busy Remy to get all google on here but if you're gonna post dont forget to mention erythropoietin and the mysterious cyclists who drop dead

  9. We usually spring Holme Moss on any gobshites gagging for a wager, with it being 30 mile out it's a killer presented mid-ride, telling em they've only 30 of all hills for home when they're passing the mast seems to do tricks with thier equilibrium. I personally prefer the Meltham road out of marsden back into holmfirth, think there's possibly greater overall climbing, good ride if you plan to come back over the moor into greenfield, getting back up the station approach heading for Hartshead is another section i like, had it from the etihad to that holmfirth cafe in hr 21mins on a 42t cog.
  10. You're lucky having that on your doorstep Crag, was in that cycle friendly cafe in holmfirth last week, a trio of riders started to chat, i did'nt recognise thier dialect and so asked them where they were from. The gaffer told me leicester and i asked if they'd jumped some bb's..he said no they'd spun up that morning for a sniff at Holme Moss. Before he rode off i asked him his age '70 son' he replied. The two 30yr olds in tow looked parrot of him http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/racing/tour-de-france/tour-de-france-2014-stage-two-route-pictures-116118
  11. Why does a person need to know that a bike is behind them ?..................If ringing a bell doesnt mean " get out the way " why ring it ? To let a person/family know something will be passing shortly, that way they'll not even need to break stride if they've the sense to realise it, just not pull a max wall trick turning an unannounced left/right...don't underestimate how numb arrogant the simple walker is...they'll walk off the pavement without looking splattering a cyclist into a car and walk off..afterall it's nowt to do with them is it? Bell's also handy for notifying dog walker
  12. Path at the side of a canal is called a tow-path, bizarrely walkers, cyclists and fishermen with 80ft roach poles believe they've somehow claimed rights, whilst the cyclist may have been a prick, i dont think cyclists ringing thier bell necessitates anyone moving anywhere, it's simply a warning of approach from behind, it's the very reason only the geniunely mental ring thier bell when approaching from your front...if your brains reading that the bell is an order then you may find yourself primed into butt-butt land.....subliminaly like.

  16. I see the ex trafford bbc worker's been sticking his oar into City, you'd think with all his international concerns he'd do something about the £3k coaching badge thats a monkey in Germany and Spain, 800 mill for Wembley....they'd have got some infrastructure for that kind of dough. Bigger gobshite than the other comedian Gill, the person responsible for allocating teams licenses to play champions league, who would have thought technically he's still actually on the board at Trafford (i kid ya not).....you'd think there was a conspiracy going on...bit of a club invite sort of melarky (g14 anyo
  17. And while we're at it Considering he thinks it is right for Manchester City to be expelled from the Champions League, sometimes it is amusing to consider what Arsene Wenger feels is fair in football. Rewarding failure, for instance. Very fair. Arsenal, his club, have not been anywhere near the Premier League trophy for 10 years now, yet are consistently seeded in Pot 1 of the Champions League draw, and have been since 2000-01. UEFA’s co-efficient system, which takes historical form into account and therefore protects the biggest and richest clubs from one ordinary season — or in Arsenal’s ca
  18. so...what your saying is he's a bike Ryder Nope (he pretends at the bike trick also but i doubt any of his glossop bretheren have tippled)..i'm confirming the unseen, which is....he's got two diallects when it suits him, though that's a trick that sometimes is not receieved well.
  19. Ryder aint a Manc, a simpleton would know that the minute he opens his trap. Bumped into him whilst out on the bike once, both me riding partners are Manc central..ryder put his routine to bed, had enough about him to know it would be very bad manners. He was born in Little Hulton which is in Salford, so I'd say he's from Manchester. Wud ya?....i've seen him being told to f**k off back to Salford before he gets his feet sawn off...so i'd say he's from a place the mancs aint too keen on. So Salford isn't in Manchester then? Old Trafford and Salford (Greater) are a b
