riding a HT for 8 years, riding a full sus a year, its about the bosh and the style, and what riding means to me.

Video: Gone in 60 Seconds
What the video didn't say is that never put a heavy duty lock on the floor because the only way those guys cut through those chains so quick is because they had to put all their body weight into it. In my experience the police do very little, too nothing to get it back. In december 2010 i brought one of the first 5, demo 8 in the country, 2 in birmingham 1 in specialised UK HQ the other Brend Dog's. and it was never found hard to believe that a bike so uncommon couldn't be found. For those that don't live in the city, watch out for crowded vans our cars following you home, this is one of the biggest forms of bike theft in Cheltenham. All ways lock your bike up out of site and buy one of the locks that when cut put out a 190 decibel alarm along with other locks (find them on chain reaction). As well as all of this is useful its not unheard of the thief cutting through the frame to get to the parts, as they are much harder to trace. Fake cctv works as a deterrent to a small web cam or something under a porch light. it may all sound expensive but i now that i wasnt happy about spending another 5k on a new bike. Hope this helps some of you.

This is the best race bike i have ever owned even compared to the 3 demo 8's that i have perviously owned. this bike is just a pure bred race bike. It weighs around 34lbs with the potential to be lighter. The frame is very new only had about 5 rides, and is set up perfectly for a 11 stone rider. The forks do have some cosmetic ware on them from uplifts, other than that in full working order and also set up perfectly for a 11stone rider, the forks will come with the next two weight brackets springs. Both wheels are perfectly trued and strong. Both breaks have been bled 4 rides ago. Also the crank arms have got the inevitable pedal wear. This bike is the best DH bike i have ever owned. Im selling due to moving house and not having the time or local facilities to use it to its full potential.
