Looks a bit too much like hard work to me :)

What mods have you done ;):D

damn some ******* nicked the engine

LOL! Comes standard with twin hydraulic brakes, and a 1 bhp engine. When I've had a curry the night before, it sounds gorgeous, but smells worse than a Ford catalitic converter, hehe.

I own a mountain bike company! scoob wrx wagon is the best mountain bike carrying machine ever.

my main ride is a singlespeed K2 razorback with Formula B4 disk brakes, carbon fibre bars, FSA custom cranks, marzocchi X-flies, sram 9.0sl hubs and hand made wheels. very very light. this pic has an etrex on the bars so that I can find the scoob later.

nice ride rd, where was that shot taken? it wasnt coed-y-brenin was it?
chris.

Jesus, u need a step ladder to get ur ass in that saddle http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/eek4.gif

naah - this is Swinley forest in between Bracknell and Bagshot. The car was at the discovery center car park. Some great trails there.

The fort william dh ride is well worth a drive up for - the crianlarach to fort william road is 80 miles of PURE SPIRITUAL SUBARU with f. all speed cameras. The car WILL leave the ground at some point and you will be grinning ear to ear on the big sweeping turns at over 80.

The DH mountain bike ride is immense. get the gondala up to the mid station and then you can get speeds of 50mph on your bike. there is a nice wee 4-up jump track at the bottom with "doubles" forcing you to jump over 12 ft !!

If you are into mountain biking, or just like going out for a ride; then hop along to my friends at http://www.singletrackworld.com - some great UK route guides in there.

In a race of "Which mtb team has the fastest car" - we won. Volvo-Cannondale can get about 130mph out of their V7 with racks but was smashed up a few years ago when they tried to do maximum speed with the cannondale team trailer still attached. Lots of team bikes knackered.

Chris,
I did not realise you were into bikes also, maybe the next South Manchester meet should be pedal power only?

Ok I'll be the team car, although in a twist to the usual regulations I'll go out in front :)

thats if you get past me greame!!!!!!!!!!

@ rapiddescent, mate you should fly your way over here for a week - I can point you in the right direction if you are into insane DOWNHILLS :D:D:D:D:D:D

PS: drop me an email if you can..

those shots from germany look awesome.
so, how many of the south manchester crew are into mountainbiking?
log on here if you like, it is an mtb site I set up ages ago, and has quite a few riders on it now. You get a notification when someone post's a ride up. they are doing a big ride this sunday, from bala lake to the coast via coed-y-brenin, sounds great, but unfortunatly, I cant go as it is my sons 7th birthday.
that run up the scotland sounds fantastic as well, might well be on the calender for the south mcr scoobys after the evo triangle!
chris.

Nice bike Chris! Here are a couple from my Dean. :)
Hey! Who put that leaning next to my Scoob!!??

Nice bike wedge, always liked the look of DEAN bikes.
I wonder how many scoobys there are out there who are also into biking?
chris.

I used to race my push bikes before I went to Uni and discovered booze and the fairer sex. Proper bikes mind :p

My PB for the 25mile TT was 1' 4" 10s and for the 10 mile TT it was 27" 20s - by no means fantastic but but I did win a road race once :D:D I was in the Belper Bicycle Club, sponsored by Thorntons Chocloates at the time ;)

Still got it in the Garage - Graham Weigh Reynolds 531c with Shimano 105 Groupset :eek:

get off this thread rusty you leg shaving girlie!!! hehe.
just kidding, but mountainbikes are for "proper" blokes, all mud sweat and gears,............ and carbon fibre, titanium, aluminium, tubeless tyres, suspension (full, of course)
hardly feels as if I'm off road sometimes, my suspension is so plush, and the bike so light, .... hang on, isnt that the same as riding on the road!!!!!!
BUGGER!

CHRIS.

Another biker here.

As Rusty I used to race (offroad of course) in my younger days (only 26 now) and had a semi sponsership from Orange. SInce discovering the internal combustion engine however I kind of decided the bike took too much effort and gave up for a while. I have now rediscovered the joys though and now run a 2002 Kona Cindercone. Much better bike than even the team orange ones were 8 years ago.

Kev

P.S. Leg shaving happens in team offroad riding and downhill as well, legs used to be smoother than my missus!!!!!lol :D

it's nice to see some mountain bikers on here

OH GOD, leg shaving, where would I stop!!!!!
CAUTION, NOT VERY KID SAFE IMAGE......
not smutty, just a bit rude, dont open at work either,

hairy bloke

not me, but not far off, hehe.
chris.

I didn't shave my legs....I used to get them waxed :eek:

That does it for me Rusty, you are on my "ignore" list!
heheh.
Hope to see you wednesday, I will shun you!
chris.



I will be checking your legs if I make it to wiggen tree!

rapiddescent, what etrex have you got on your bars, how much, is it any good?
I'm off on hols soon, so was thinking about getting something like that for spain, would it work?
cheers,
chris.
