 Are you sure? Wouldn't it be an Austin mini or a Morris mini, since BMW acquired Rover group but kept the mini name? I don't know I feel that for mini to be claimed 100% English it has to be either Austin or morris. Also the Mini Cooper S was released in 1963 I believe so there's still a possibility it might be!

 man believe me ehehe MINI is my second passion after riding bikes.... I have 4 minis ( Morris cooper S mk3, Innocenti Cooper 1300, Mini Mike and Rover Cooper ) BMW never produced a classic Mini. Even when they got the Rover brand. Last REAL MINI was in 2000 and was 100% UK. this in the picture is a Mini Cooper Rover probably from mid 90's ( I need to see the engine to tell ) , last Cooper S was the MK3 ( produces till '76 ) ..... ok now I am getting boring sorry !! ahaha

 Q: "Anyone remember how to get reverse gear?"
A: Of course... quite easily instead of 1st, thus reversing into the car behind you at the lights.

And yes, it happened all the damned time.

 Lighter than tubeless weenie specials. A different brand (who shall go unnamed) tried this a couple of years ago and charged nearly £50 each, Schwalbe are positively giving them away by comparison.

 going tubeless without tape is like going full retard. you never go full retard ... sealant seizes the nipples and makes truing the wheels after 6 months nigh impossible. last time sealant leaked into my rim, i had to cut the spokes and change them completely in order to fix my wheel. the sealant got into the nipple threads and completely locked them. going with alloy nipples makes it even worse.

 I'm thinking a lot of pro Enduro racers might end up running that carbon LEV. Obviously lighter, & a good chunk of those guys only want up or down, no in between, & this gives them the option to custom tune their drop. cleaner than those clamps people run on their reverbs...
  • 1 0
 I've never seen anyone riding a clamp on their Reverb, I never understood why you wouldn't want to drop it as far as possible? Maybe just 'cause I have little legs
  • 1 0
 Some enduro racers use them, because they just want the seat out of the way, or all the way up. The reason they don't want them all the way down does have something to do with longer legs, yes: for taller people, all the way down can put the seat too low to use your legs against it for maneuvering the bike. at the same time, they want that down position to be in the same place, every time, so they put those clamps on their posts. Even with my fairly short legs, I don't slam the seat on my DH bike all the way down, for example. 30" inseam here.

  • 1 1
 Except i don't see the point in having a dropper on a roadie? On flat roads they dont have to absorb bumps or do downhill-style manouvres.
Or would it purely be so they can sit more aero on the descents?
  • 1 0
 Lower center of gravity during decending mountain roads would be why I would put one on. Safer & faster at the same time.
  • 1 0
 I kind of understand it for descents. Not necessary at all but if it improves the ride a bit, why not. Living in the Netherlands, road cycling means only riding flat roads as there are no hills or mountains around here. So for dutch roadies it would just be a waste of money.
