Apr 8, 20132011 Lapierre DH 720 Large
$1650 GPBHi there,
I'm selling my 2011 Lapierre DH 720 as I have only ridden it 3 times in 12 months, and I need the money to fund a ski season in Canada!
Build:
Frame- 2011 Lapierre DH 720 Large with Fox RC2. Integrated adjustable headset.
Fork- 2010 Rockshox Boxxer Team
Brakes- 2010 Avid Code with 203mm Avid rotors.
Wheel Front- Mavic ex729 on Hope Pro 2 hub
Wheel Rear- Mavic ex823 on DT Swiss Hugi FR hub
Cranks- Saint
Bars- Funn Fatboy
Stem- Sunline Direct mount
Chain guide- Straitline (with green 'rollers' too)
Rear derailleur- Shimano X7
Seat post- Lapierre
Saddle- Devinci
Pedals- Crankbrothers Mallets (unfortunately I have no flat pedals to sell)
I will sell the bike with a a few sets of tires, all of which are new or used once, the amount depends on choice of collection/delivery.
Like all my bikes, this one has been serviced regularly by a world cup mechanic and is in perfect working order! The bearings have no 'play' and the forks were serviced before the last time it was ridden. I will not be accepting any trades or swaps as I am selling this to fund my trip to Canada. The bike rides brilliantly and will work with all riding styles, sucking up all that is thrown at it!
The price posted (£1650 GBP) does not include P&P, that will be payed for separately by the buyer.
For more information feel free to contact me,
Christy.

Video: Sam Hill - Welcome to the Team
What I was getting is that he's slimmed down and toned up lots. He looks more like a racer and a finely tuned athlete. He's always looked quick on the bike :P

Great to see him back in shape, you can tell just by looking at him that he's more dedicated than his past couple of seasons! I really hope he does well just to make it an exciting season!

Aaron Gwin: Karma vs Drama
And the other thing to note. If Gwin comes out and blames Trek for the doping of Lance etc, you can be almost usre that's just a BS spin he's putting on it. There's a lot more to the guy than meets the eye, and I very much doubt that would really be anything to do with it.

Aaron Gwin: Karma vs Drama
What drivel.
Please tell me when a Formula 1 driver was last bought out of their contract?! It was Raikonen, who was payed out by his *own* team a few years ago. And that caused a pretty big stir! It's not common in F1 for drivers to be bought out of existing contracts. It doesn't happen like the article makes out.
The fact that this has caused a stir has done the complete opposite of reinforcing the idea that we're still a small community. When contracts, deals and money become a talking point, you know a sport is growing.
But nice rationality to Gwin's move etc.

This guy who 'sucks' has managed to qualify 12th at world cups, is consistently top 50 and finished 3rd at the garbo... to top it off, he did all this while studying a masters degree in optometry so he had no time to train.
