I never said and indeed would not have expected the item to be mine until the monies were paid. But to me it was an acceptance of my offer without conditions. If someone else had already offered the same amount it would have been courtesy to say so. From the comments so far everyone seems to...

Interestingly or not as the case may be I've never ever asked anyone for a deposit on a bike or anything else. I've sold six or seven analogue bikes and several classic cars in the past. Always trusted the buyer and was never let down. I also kept everyone informed if someone got in first with...

I'd be interested in your experiences whether good, bad or indifferent. I ask as I've just had what I consider to be a pretty shit way of treating someone. I'll give you a flavour of what went on. As an aside I always play fair with anyone & expect the same in return. So as follows: 1) make an...

Thanks for the replies. I've looked at the Nukeproof Neutron & the Horizon . Seem fairly reasonably priced. I've just been looking at various sites to see if there are any reviews. Looking at DT Swiss wheels is next on the to do list.

My thoughts exactly. Spares would be good as I could just grab a set and take off rather than waste at least half a day faffing about with tyres.

Thanks. Not forgotten. No problem there. Got any specifics on Nukeproof?

Thanks for the replies but that's not what I asked. Not interested in these tyres are great or I should have tried harder. If you have a suggestion on WHEELS then that's great.

A bit of background. Sometimes these days I can't really be bothered driving for an hour or two getting wet & cold and then driving home again. It's an age thing. So I often just have a wee tootle around near home. It's mostly on track with some road. Sometimes I use my wifes bike (Still for...

Another blue sky day

'Back yet again to dice with death! Incidentally I’ve often stayed there in the past. Once for three days in the winter. Now that’s really living on the edge! I

For those who know the Loch Pattack area the shoogly bridge is no more [If you don’t know the bridge see my pics in Aug. 2022] The aforesaid bridge has been replaced by something that would probably take a tank so any overweight bikers should be OK

Interested if you're going to produce some of these. Any idea of the possible cost including P. & P. I'm in the UK

Some of the best mountaineering in the world in my neck of the woods. If you're into winter mountaineering/climbing then I would suggest The Ben ( Ben Nevis) in full on winter conditions might be entertaining for you. If not try the world class downhill track although better not from the top if...

Can't wait for Winter. Dig out the crampons and the ice axes. Bugger all that mud, freezing cold rain and endless faff of cleaning. Brings back bad memories (very distant) of cross country running and hypothermia 🥶🥶changing in a muddy field. Mind you Winter mountaineering is usually the pits...

Bike / Product Year: 2018 Manufacturer: Merida Model: EOne Sixty 800 Size Med Asking Price: £1400 Location Central Scotland Description Not getting used. At present fitted with “gravel” tyres for my better half but she’s lost all interest. Not had a lot of use as the dreaded Covid...

The hazards of mountain biking number two. There are basically three ways of onward progress. 1) Cross the shoogly (VERY) bridge. Not advisable with a heavy E bike 2) There is a long section of signal track but it ends in a bog. No thanks 3) Cross the ford. Didn’t bike across as it’s loose...

The hazards of mountain biking number one. The hazard for today was just a bit unusual…….

Freshly washed after crossing the Allt Sheicheachan burn to get to the Allt Sheicheachan bothy. Try saying that when you’ve had a skinful!

Battery check time.......preferably before you start! Maybe I'll just have a dip in the loch or perhaps not as the car temperature showed 3 on the way.:eek::eek:

Being an extremely old git and a total wuss I tend to bimble along and try not to fall off. Due to total incompetence however I managed a total splat. Knee and elbow now not happy and daily dressings are required:mad:. New MIPS helmet didn’t get a scratch! So which parts do you find normally...
