This baby...



Scott Genius MC10

The Evo withdrawal symptoms are fading fast. Riding back from Rochdale on her today

 

That sir, looks well

Next time I'm over your gaff, I must check to see if it's any lighter than my CF addition to the family

 

if I knew anything about bikes

Are you having the missus in the support vehicle on the way or is it Sticky versus the world?

No response from H-B yet or are you trying to keep it a secret?

 

I was informed yesterday while he was waiting for the shop to prep it....

Very nice machine..... Gallons of carbon fibre, full XTR and flappy paddle dual control shifters (which are a tw*t to use - but I'm sure he'll get used to them... unless he falls off first).

Doubtless I'll be getting the full Rochdale return debrief...

 

The best bit....

 

Very but I thought you were skint

 

I am NOW

Just got in from the Rochdaleothon.

Somewhere ITRO 60 miles breaking the ****** in. Other than a sore **** (Careful Apple, HB knows what I mean, Err...... what I'm trying to say is that the worst part of adapting to a new ride is the seat, I think ) everything has gone too smooth for words. Not missed a beat in the gear changes, remote lockout for the sussy works a treat (flick a lever and it turns in to a rigid bike for climbing / sprinting)
The only downside was the fact that we went past 12 pubs, and stopped for a pint at each one *hic*

 

This is mine, easier to pedal.

 

Paul, who's that young, clean shaven good looking guy on the Bike?

 

Errr it's me about two years ago when i had shaved my beard off.

The bike still looks the same though....Vance and Hines full race system, stage 3 Dynojet kit,Ohlins rear adjustable shock, 145 bhp at the wheel and weighs 185kgs fully fuelled.

Fat rider!

 

So that's why you fell off....

Nowt to do with the flappy paddles.....

 

You gotta lurve the plappy faddles. Confuses the hell out of anyone who has a play on the bike

"How the ferk do I change gear?"

 

You change gear with your left foot......0-60 in 2.9 seconds,Standing quarter in 10.9, 0-100 in 5.5 seconds, i've seen 175 mph on the road. All good clean fun.

 

And I thought my hand made holdsworth was a nice bike

Thats in a whole different league all together If i scratched the top coat off mine it would be black and yellow

vely nice Andy

 

According to the MTB press, some ppl even remove the auxiliary downchange thumb levers. How the hell do you do a decent downchange under braking....?? Bottom of a hill, staring at a one in three incline, still in top gear...

 

Gotta be honest....

Fancy one of these next....



Or maybe....

 

Now that's more like it, proper bikes

 

Complete with bizarre sideways gear changing action.....

 

Not as bizarre as the fact that it doesn't come with any pedals

 

And you used to work in a bike shop, mate.....

It allows the punter to choose their own stuff, ie flatties or SPDs like Crank Bros egg beaters and so on ('cept those are for MTBs, but you get the pic).

 

Yes I did and I can't believe you punters still fall for that old twaddle

[rubbing hands in an Arkwright way mode on]That's £3500 for the bike then sir, oh you want some pedals as well, well now you wouldn't want anything less than the best for that bike I'm sure, how about these for £200, can we throw them in with the bike if you pay cash sir, oh no no no we couldn't possibly do that I'm afraid, we've got bills to pay you know, wages, rent, heating, electric, it all adds up you know, I'm sure you wouldn't want to work for free now would you, yes yes visa is fine sir[rubbing hands in an Arkwright way mode off]

 

That Scott is nigh on £6k mate.....

And for that price, I'd expect some nice twirly pedals AND some new air in the tyres.....

Even the Isaac is over £3500.

 

Blimey, you could buy a car for less than that oh hold on a sec, I did

 

Did it come with pedals...??

 

yeah it did actually 3 of em in fact but only the left and right one seem to work properly, the 1 in the middle is bloody useless

 

You need to upgrade to XTR....

 

Isn't it called something else on stiffbacks?
Thought XTR was MTB only?
Aleovera or something?

 

Nice bike sticky, I'm just getting back into using mine after a long sabatical, beer and food induced
CANNONDALE JEKYLL 4000SL, titanium/carbon lefty, full xtr, tubeless wheels, hope mini disc brakes, full lockout.
Goes well on canal towpaths

Dura Ace.....

 

Sounds like a condom for batteries
