Just moved into my first house (w00t!) and this is my garden. I can't be fucked with maintaining a lawn so I'm thinking a pump track might be in order, it's big enough I reckon. Give me some inspiration for when I finally get round to digging! Mini hip over the planter corner would be fun.

They look awesome on certain trails bikes but I reckon the railed aitken or eccd look better.

That place looks awesome. My dads house with the empty field fell through so I never got to dig my own circle of hips in the end  our little jump spot we started in a different woods has shite drainage as well so its never dry. Need to find a new place! My new house has a garden that's probably big enough for a pump track so when im settled in I may get to work on one ready for summer.

Yeah that colour is fucking awesome.

I finally got round to doing a job I've been putting off for absolutely ages (probably almost a year now). Changed my broken rear brake/STI lever on my road bike, put an Ultegra front mech on and set it up then changed the bar tape. Surprisingly all went without any problems at all apart from the gear cable being fiddly as fuck to get through the lever. It's a christmas miracle! The bar tape is a bit messy though so I'll re-wrap it when I get some more electrical tape. Doesn't look too bad for my first attempt ever.

Yeah I think they're about £60 + an extra tenner if you want chrome.

So who the fuck makes 8" rise bars in chrome and a decent width these days? I can't find any anywhere without paying through the nose. I may have to settle for raw.

Yeah I'm thinking a 30t would be right. Raw tree sprockets look nice though haha

Anyone know what the cheapest replacement cassette driver I could get for my Model C is? Was gonna buy tee's 33t tree sprocket but I think it'll make my gearing stupidly hard to ride with the current driver considering it's 27t sprocket at the minute. Or, how would a Model C with 33t up front be? I want to make it a bit harder and faster but a 6t jump might be a bit much.
