We'd also have a Planet X Procarbon track bike if the missus didn't have weird ideas about what houses are for.

Actually Dave that's reminded me. If you are still looking for a BMX bike, look at Base, good value for money http://www.basebikes.com/

 

[Dave5N]

Thanks. Wish I seen that earlier. They look great value.

I bought a mongoose in the end from a place in Manchester. Very helpful they were.

Rather than complete the build myself, I have arranged for Santa to write a note to the boy telling him to put it together himself, and while he can ask for information, he mustn't get me to do it for him.

In my shed there sits a Dawes Giro 300, supposed to be my best bike. And an old Raleigh Aveo that sits on the Turbo all the time, plus my sons full suspension mountain bike, he has moved out and it seems I have inherited the bike. In the house sits the fixed wheel Pearson that I brought to ride to and from work and now use for all my riding, I have been out this morning for a couple of hours and have commited the crime of enjoying myself.

Tell you what dave - you buy the pro carbon and I'll keep it for you safe and sounds in my house. I will bring it to the fntl for you aswell, with just one condition - you have to let me ride it aswell.
