Bored in work so thought i'd see who on here is into cycling, we always have threads about full size motors or motobikes but i reckon there must be a load of you also into cycling.

So lets have a look at what you all ride?!?! Jimmy is that a super 8 in your avatar?

Here's my Recent purchase to get me back into bombing tree lined hills

This is me and my dads bike, i did a coast-to-coast ride for charity last year on the C2C route which i thoroughly reccommend, it was a fab trip.

In case you're wondering i fell in the sea at the start with my bike and had to do the first day quite moist, at least it was sunny..! (notice friend laughing on rhs )

I dont really have a bike, the one i did have was mainly pink and my mum nicked it which is maybe no bad thing..

I had one of these http://www.surosa.co.uk/detail.aspx?ID=4437 but sold it recently. It was a build up with Middleburn cranks, XT gears and Avid Juicy 7 brakes.
Now I have a Marin Northside Trail 2007 that is pretty much stock apart from the DMR V12 pedals, Easton Vice stem and the FSA Gravity riser bars. Will be upgrading the brakes to Hope mono mini Pros and the shifters and mech to SRAM X0/X9. Got my wife a Northside Trail for Christmas with Hope mono mini brakes in pink!
I do fancy one of those Whyte carbon frames though. Very nice indeed

I've always been a bmx bandit personally. I rode road bikes for years too and had a couple of seasons on the NEMBA downhill series.

Anyway, after discovering OS bmx I am back on 20" after 10 years not riding anything.

This is my current:
I have changed the bars and I am cleaning up my old Redline Flights to fit to it. Also scraping the cash to get hold of a Hyper Frameset going for cheap money and a cruiser.



This is the remains of my Mongoose Hooligan, awaiting resto in my pa's garage:



PS...Does anyone remember Tioga disk drives?

I'm on the look out for a good BMX for commuting as my Kona Blast (a class mountain bike :-) ) is going to be a bit unwieldy for the streets of suburbia when I start my new job.

Does anyone have any advice for what I should be looking for?

Thankyou.

Elliott.

I have a Kona Kula and a mongoose fuzz BMX with pitch forks and profile cranks. Can't find a pic at the mo. I fancy a new BMX but a race frame for general riding and light bashing. I fell off the fuzz years ago (about 10) and since then I always get a bad back when I ride, so I don't ride. nothing major at all, just manual to ass - but the shock went right thru my back and I couldn't move the next day!

Nice FMF losidan, I've got an original wethepeople 4 seasons i built up with a bunch nice stuff, odyssey wheels, odyssey race forks, profiles etc. was light when i built it but heavy by todays standards. Wouldnt mind a superlight new frame like this one http://www.alansbmx.com/images/lo_fi...green_side.jpg - 4.3lbs thats lighter than my old hardtail!!

Ah the Fuzz, thats one long bike, i remember ben lewis whos on FIT now riding one of those at our trails when he was like 15 and only about 5ft 5 lol was super smooth on it.

Jon you should just buy my Haro Extreme and that way you wont have lost much money when you sell it again in a week lol...!!!!

Folks have just bought a villa in the mountains near valencia so need to start saving for a ride to leave out there basic Sx Trail i think
