DAVE O Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Picked up the new machine a couple of days ago and have been out in the sunshine this afternoon... Massive improvement on my 1994 Steel GT And no I haven't got a clue what it revs to Quote
carpetstu Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I wonder how that would fair agaist a Cateringvan! Quote
Terry Everall Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Looks quicker than a burgervan to me Quote
combatsapph Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Nice :-) Model? Hydraulic of Cable disc brakes? I picked up a few bits the other day, I'll have to post a pic once it's built:- Quote
Roman Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Still riding my 1995 GT Pantera rigid, went to Afan at the weekend great fun. Would love a new bike but can't justify the cost when it could be spent upgrading the Westie. Quote
JeffC Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 my bike , bought it 5 years ago was black , I stripped it and painted it the team colours and rebuilt with new bits Quote
langy Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I got myself a 'previously loved' Santa Cruz Blur LT and it's the dogs Quote

Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I had this up until last year when I sold it to fund the Westfield build. Now I'm riding a Full Sus Marin since Essex isn't really hilly enough to justify the DH bike Quote
DAVE O Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Nice :-) Model? Hydraulic of Cable disc brakes? I picked up a few bits the other day, I'll have to post a pic once it's built:- Scott Scale 40 - 2009 with XT and avid Hydraulic brakes. Weight is about half that of my GT ! Nearly went straight over the bars the first time I grabbed a fist full of brake lever Quote

Jed Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 .... what you need is a bike with pedigree. Something like a Merlin Oreas..... just a shame I never ride it. Purchased it for an alpine trek and only ridden 4 times in over 2 years since. Quote
Mark Stanton Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Those upgrades to the Rally Grifter seem to have worked well Quote
oldman Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Just curious!I've seen loads of posts on ere about mountain biking but non on road bikes....wots the connection between Westfields & mountain bikes Quote
