We seem to suffer relatively infrequent abuse on the roads up in Scotland, even when out with 15+ club members on a ride. Possibly due to the population pressure being a lot less in the Stirling area than it would be further south in England.I have to agree with this, being a mainly solo cyclist these days, but having done various club rides in the past in Scotland and England
Up here, i rarely run into stupid drivers, you get the odd close pass, but thats about it, even when running with 10+ riders on a weekend, you rarely encounter anything from drivers, Although, i think if it was day in day out that drivers faced it, that might change
In certain parts of England, you may have a number of clubs in a small area and being out on different days of the week, a driver may encounter a larger group of cyclist’s more often, for example, if there are 4 local clubs, all having weekly ride outs but on different days, so Monday, Wednesday, Friday and then a few run on a Saturday and Sunday, the likely hood that A driver may come across a few of these rides in their daily drive increases and so may their frustration.
Then again, you just get some idiots on the road
Not really a buy, nor
Not really a buy, nor specifically bike related, but i’ve just won a Contour Roam helmet cam from their facebook page 😀Best buy, although not received yet is my Volagi bike with 25% off straight from America

Everyone seems
Everyone seems afraid to say, but a road bike with a 50mm or less stem with the geometries and angles involved, must be horrible – 30mm/40mm what?? I am all in favour of the each to their own philosophy, however……..No-one is afraid to say it, because its untrue.
I’m more than happy with my set up, running a 40mm suits my riding style just fine

Oh I thought it was a race bike… think I’d rather have a chopper!It is a race bike 😀 and dull?? its certainly not that
bikecellar wrote:To further
To further confuse the issue, as you get older you become shorter, I used to be 5ft 9 now 40yrs on I am 5ft 7 1/2 I think it has something to do with one’s spine, so that being correct it would be the upper body and reach affected, so by the time I am 100 perhaps I will be riding a bike with a 50mm stem instead of 100mm :/God help me then, I’ll have to be using back to front stem’s, i’m only 27 year, fitted a 110mm but prefer my 40mm

Didn’t Frank Lucas do something like that? :-DMaybe its my age, but i had to google him 😀
btw, GKam, is it one of these?Interested to hear your thoughts on the ride – they certainly look like an interesting bunch.
Also interested to know if they really are manufactured in the US – that sort of manufacturing is expensive there compared with the Far East, but the bikes don’t seem unreasonably priced. Doesn’t seem to say on the site where they are manufactured, but you mentioned you were going to the factory?
Yeah its a Volagi, I’ll let you know what i think when i get my hands on it
After alot of emails and when i was going to be over, i was offered a tour of the warehouse/factory, i think the frames are made in-house but not 100% i’m just going on what i’ve been told and as there is nothing to say otherwise
At the moment, i do not have
At the moment, i do not have EBH, but i see that changing at the weekend B-)The UK has a great history
The UK has a great history with carbon fibre lately, although it many not be in bikes, its certainly in F1, just look at the best car of the last few years, the Red Bull, based in Milton KeynesThe aircrafts that are built here are starting be use more and more of it.
The general cars that are being built with carbon in them aswell in the UK and the US
One last thing to add………twatwaffle 👿
Yeah it is about the bike, without a bike, i’m not a cyclist :B

For anybody who is interested, I just read on the internet that Mark Cavendish uses a 49cm bike. I thought that was small.Not really, here is a general size guide, bikes vary from manufacturer, so he could be spot on being 5ft 9
50cm 5ft 6 – 5ft 11
big mick wrote:70% of all
70% of all bikes are made in the far east and the best carbon manufacture is in Japan.just buy a 2011 sale bike already.At the end of the day as Lance said its not about the bike.As much as i’d love to get something from the UK, nothing compares to this
Fully Carbon (apart from the wheels, as i wasn’t paying stupid money to have them), Fully Dura Ace (carbon levers) and Disc brakes
