Title: My new 20" ride (NuSkool with old skool signature)
Post by: Flemdog on April 19, 2006, 10:11 AM
Never posted a bike on here before, but as you can see I'm a sucker for Graphites...!

The Adjudicator has finally landed…! ha ha, well it's my new 20" ride to play pro once again this year and dint a few attitudes in our sport, time to make racin' good viewing again, almost like the "return of the flatsters" as the likes of Dylan Clayton, Alex Dick, Nigel Page to name a few will be returning too to cause mayhem in pro this season...! ;)

Ha ha, I do intend to put some clips stickers on the top tube with a red "X" across it, for every clipped in pro who strays in my path, (thats another reason why I chose a 22 1/4" top tube, arf!) 8)

PS, Do you like my plate number (my age!)

Did you buy the skyways off Shaun Calvert?

I sold him a pair last year.

No doubt he made a profit on them  ;D

no profit, ha... yes they was yours... I was asking about your bike and it's size and if you where interested in selling it (fell in love with it at Chorley lasy year) what was the top tube anyway?

IS THAT TOP TUBE LONG ENOUGH TO FIT ALL THOSE RED X 'S ON 
I THINK YOU SHOULD USE THE DOWN TUBE AS WELL . WHEN IT'S FULL I THINK IT WOULD FEATURE IN RIDE MAG :LolLolLolLol:

Wow it rides like a dream! Went to Crewe last night for a coule of hours, I'd forgotten how much faster and easier twenties are!!!
 (still Buzzin!) It felt like a dormant part of the brain had re opened (it's been three years since my last twenty)... how much more fun are they....!

PS, I cooked a set of brake blocks last night, need to find some suitable Tuff style pads (even the old Kool stop continentals), can anyone suggest where I can get these from?

Flem, Alans has the new style Skyway pads for 14 a pair.  Doesn't look like much actual pad on them though, so don't know how long they'd last.

That is a beast of a bike. I would chicken out as I waited on the start hill if someone was lining up with something like that.   :crazy2:Lovely.
