Where's the carbon on an Edge?

Not that I would do a dream build to please the @Dogs of the world. :-D

With Trickstuff Direttissima brakes, an Intend BC Edge fork and Santa Cruz Reserve rims with Onyx Vesper hubs.

With a Pinion, obvs.

@Howard: what will you do when you can't recommend a Calibre Bossnut to everyone looking for a first mountain bike?

Belated spring equinox/summer solstice ride, Surrey Hills:

https://www.lfgss.com/events/5229/

This will be a belated spring equinox and summer solstice ride combined.

Let's have it!

Flat pedals are the answer. Will never ride clipped in again offroad.

Nice one. Be great to have you all on a ride.

Alrighty. Hope to see you there.

You're welcome to join. Just let me know here.

Fuck, sorry to hear that. Hate broken ribs.
Hope you heal up fast!

Yeah, Swinley's great on a gravel biek.

Well, response has been underwhelming from others. I understand though considering what's been going on. If you want to meet myself and a couple of mates for a ride on the 5th message me. We'll be going out

Alrighty then!

So, anyone fancy a ride on the 4th or 5th of July? Trails are fucking full of peeps now.

I can show you some fun routes.

Yeah, if it's free it might be worth it. I was just considering you were going to pay for it.
I'd just check all the components, especially the frame bearings or brushing, and the shock and fork are in decent order before spending any money on upgrades.

But post the spec up here and we can identify any worthwhile upgrades

Depends on the reason for buying it. Being 26" upgrading is made difficult by the almost totally defunct wheelsize. Obtaining new, quality forks for that wheelsize will be almost impossible. New quality wheels and rims will be almost impossible to come by. The geometry will be old skool and modern 27.5" hardtails will faster and more fun.

Also, unless it's mint the fork and shock will need servicing before doing any upgrades. And the frame bearings. I'd never go back to 26" now. It'd be like riding square wheels.

I'm not arguing for or against identity politics in any form, just that reactionary forces have become really adept at inverting left-wing paradigms and using them against progressive politics.

Well, we'll see how lock down regs ease (or not). If they relax further to allow people to travel in a car together I know someone who can give you a lift.

Then again rail travel is significantly socially distanced these days. I've been travelling for work and I usually get entire carriages to myself.

"Or look at the term "Identity politics", which was coined back in the
70s (ffs) by activists wanting to establish a common language shared
by people with different experiences and is now used as an insult by
bigots, cunts and edgelords who feel that has been too successful."

But also that it is used as a propaganda/divide and rule tactic by the reactionary international; see how well Trump & Co. (Murdoch/Fox News, Mercer/Bannon, Cummings, etc) have taken this viewpoint and turned it into a political weapon to their advantage.
My point actually reinforces what you said.

Who's up for a ride soon?
