Great. Thanks for the info.

Hey all,

I'm thinking of buying this: https://www.gumtree.com/p/suzuki-motorbikes/suzuki-sv650-sv650n-naked-black-2003-k1-twin-caf-racer-excellent-condition/1392237974

In the current times I'm trying to avoid travelling so can anyone see anything obviously wrong with it. I've only ever brought new bikes so I'm a newbie to the used world.

The Hill is on iplayer at the moment. One of Sean Connery’s finest films.

It handles really well. I’ve tried a few other models but none have the same feel on both downhill and more technical riding that I enjoy.

I broke my Hardtail and want to replace it with something similar only in steel. I had a Whyte 905 which I loved so I'd like the geometry replicated only in steel.

Is anyone interested in doing it?

Has anyone had experience removing pebble dash. I’m thinking of removing it myself and then hiring a pro to do the brick repairs. We’ve been quoted 5-8k to do everything but that’s comes down to 3k if we remove the PD ourselves.

Do you have a link to the polish parquet?

After riding for 22 years I still feel most relaxed on a 650cc ish bike. I think people can be a bit quick to jump on the big bikes when the smaller ones perform perfectly well. I've been fortunate to own an array of big fast bikes (RC8, BMW 1000RR, Fireblade and currently a 1299 Panigale) but my 600 Hornet was the one I love the most.

Does anyone have a cheap commuter they want to be rid of? Someones tried to have a go at all three locks on my Ducati whilst parked in central. I think my best option is simply to buy another beater. I'm looking for something 500c-700c. I'm not fussed with looks I just need cheap and reliable. I'm thinking about another honda Hornet but I'd like a V-twin for that low end commuting life. If anyone knows of anything let me know.

My partner just tested positive. She’s a teacher so we knew it was inevitable.

What colour is it?

Thinking about investing in one of these: https://bikebox.london/

This seems the best option as I don't have direct access to the rear garden. My partner has given me a clear no when it comes storing bikes in the house.

Sold

I need to mount a set of mudguards to my Columbus Futura Gravel forks. The mounts are on the narrow rear-facing section of the fork.

No one seems to have them in stock until the end of January. So I am hoping someone has some laying around.

Something similar to this:

My friend captured it far better than I ever could.

What was your budget for this?

Wow, that is lovely. I’d live to hear how you went about doing it as I’d like to build something similar in my new garden.

Sweet lord jesus. Take my money.

I'm waiting for an adapter. At the moment the seat stays impede the rack arms.

Thanks. I was planning on using a 9100 crank but ended up thinking this looked a bit more in keeping with the vibe of the bike.

Almost finished my girlfriends new Omnium commuter. Pretty happy with how it turned out. I still need to do a few things, shorten hoses, cut steerer and convert it to tubeless. Hopefully it will be finished next week.

@Sumo thanks for the info

None of my friends are online. I have no idea what games are exclusive to each console. I last console I owned was a Super Nintendo!

I’m making my first tentative steps back into gaming. I know this is a contentious issue but what are the pro’s and cons of XBox vs PS5? I don’t have space for a PC.
