OOoer, carbon fiber & titanium almost worth as much as my Westie, well you did ask!

Very nice - like that alot.

I once built a pace bike up for a bloke I used to work with who had one leg - frame had square section tubing and back then 1995ish - cost a few quid was a metalic green colour and looked well when finished

That'll be a RC300.

I've got one in the garage covered in carbon and Ti

Nothing will come close to it on a fast fireroad

No not at all - he had a leg for every occasion - all specially made out of CF with different rates of 'spring' he could go abit on the bike

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

Road bikes - you ride from A - B as quickly as possible, in a group of 40 totally ignoring the scenery.  The bike is just a means of A-B travel.  You must ride in an inconsiderate manner to other road users (two abreast?).

Mountain bikes - more of a solitary or small group activity.  You enjoy exploring and trying to get the most out of the bike - you love adding "techy" stuffy to it without really caring what it looks like.  And you don't care how long the ride takes, as long as it's fun.

I can certainly see the link between Westfields and mountain bikes :-)

Right, I'm off to hide before the cycling short brigade descend for vengeance!

See wot you mean but wot about about a bunch of Wessies blatting & totally ignoring the scenery

My son bought a new mountain bike bike so I borrowed his old one.      as it was better than my own bike.

For sale. £50 Original Raleigh pursuit, 10 gears,  everything  works, collect  from Nottingham

I paid £40 for the seat! It could do with a little TLC, like new gaiters  on the brakes levers, tyres are  OK. Nice light bike for everyday use.
