I'm not enough of an expert to know how many truly different BMX bikes there are, but I had a race bike and a dirt jump bike at 15 & 16, and naively assumed I could ride street/skate park/half pipe on the dirt jump bike, although I had toyed with a separate entry for flatland. I'm surprised that nobody has insisted on adding a 29er to the collection yet.
ah you need 96er and 69er (childish giggle) hmm what else. . . have we covered tall bikes?

ok, i had thought of that as well, il go in on tuesday :)

i suppose i could sell you a set or 2 (il have a rummage tommorrow) i need to keep a few sets. . . the shitty ones click. . . so you wont want them the rest have been repacked or are new

i have alot. . . what you looking for i have some m540s m520s and some shitty ones . . .

You certainly missed tourers and cargo bikes.

Oh, and a Pashley Princess for her indoors.
oh and mitre teaser missed out moultons. . . you need a small wheeled full sus made in england for commuting and showing you have 10 k to spend on random shizzle :D

In general, if you have somebody else in the house who will question whether you need another bike, then it as well to go into the relationship with a sufficient number that extra ones can pass unnoticed. It helps if you stick to one or two basic colour schemes. If you have 10 black bikes and add a yellow one, it will stand out. If you have 4 black bikes and add another black one, you can probably bluff it out.

In the absence of domestic constraints, the total number will depend on which types of riding you do. For example, if you ride exclusively for the purpose of track racing you probably only need five bikes:

1: Race sprint bike
2: Race pursuit bike
3: Track training bike
4: Summer road bike (can also be used on the rollers for warm ups)
5: Winter road bike

Not everybody is so narrowly focused, though, so you might need to add

6: Road race bike
7: Road TT bike

and then there's the winter to think about

8: CX bike
9: Second CX bike for swaps

but if you're going to ride CX, you might as well do some MTB races for skills improvement

10: XC Race MTB
11: XC Training MTB

That was fun, but now there are other challenges opening up

12: Full-Sus enduro bike
13: SS MTB

And you SS MTB is nice, but it's not quite right on the local six pack, so

14: Dirt jump bike

And you did OK in the MTB class at the BMX track, but those little wheeled bikes seem to be even better

15: BMX race bike
16: BMX jump bike

but your BMX jump bike is good on the stairs and rails, but there are things in the urban landscape you could session if you only had a

17: 20" trials bike

which is all very well, but that hippity hoppity stuff doesn't really flow, so it's not helping you MTB riding as much as it should, so maybe what you need is

18: 26" trials bike

Now that you're going out and playing on natural stuff, picking lines that flow together, perhaps you need to up the ante by hitting them faster

19: Freeride bike

Of course, if you're going to go fast, you have to go faster than everybody else, which means racing

20: DH race bike

and there's no pointing driving all that way to races and then not competing in all the races

21: BSX/4X bike

Obviously, I've pared the collection down to the bare essentials by sticking to sports use and eliminating spares except for CX. Some people also think they are missing out on the full experience if they don't also have a tandem or three
that made me smile

ah, fail xD

bingo, just incase someone does need to take apart the front fork from a moulton. . .

twas right it front of me! but i totally missed it!

Every single Park patch i have used has leaked within a week (most lasted a few days).
They. are. gash.

I persevered for a long time, but eventually gave up on them. In fact, I don't even have to** carry patches now that i bought some Conti tyre**s.
hang on a sec i thought it was the other way round with contis. . .

lol, well done ed

I'm just taking a stab in the dark here, but i think it might be a Bianchi?
nah its a planet x badged up a bianchi, fuking imposters

why do i have a feeling they are your own, thus you are selling them? ^

its called the ebay finds thread, its stickied ;)

Ah! perfect, why didnt i think of that! ty jim i shall be using this tip!

Hi,
er doubt any of you hvae overhauled a moultons front suspension? or have any links,
ive taken the fork and stripped it down as much as i know how, im stuck with trying to get into the suspension, is it even possible?

yes, the red one has been completed now and im half way through building th blue one! oh and having a pump which can reach 1000 psi to pump up one of those tyres would take days, you would want low pressure high volume (i.e. large cylinder!)

air rifle

Just did this with an old flite ti. £3 worth of leather, a £2 tube of bostic impact adhesive, about 10 mins of work and I have a saddle that looks new (and is super suede haha)

:)
im looking on ebay right now and suede is about £20 :S where did you get the leather?

personally i think the colours on that bag are the best ive seen for a while . . . wtf german tourist!?

^ +1 to that my favourite patches

chances are that if its smaller, due to the smaller volume you could hit about 1000 psi. . . if you meant just shorten it you would still be able to hit about 300 psi due to the design
