Damn these bloody Commencals...

I've just said yes to a Meta 4X VIP frame - that means 3 x VIPs in my stable - a Supernormal VIP, a Supreme DH VIP, and now, a Meta 4X VIP...

Can a man have too many VIPs? Or is the N+1 equation indisputable?

I don't know Neil. If you just waited, saved a little, you could afford one good bike, like a Cove.

I know I know, maybe one day, just one day soon, I might be gay enough to buy a baby blue or other equally gah-hey (i.e. beige?) colour Cove

Meta, Supreme, yaaaaawwwwwnnnnnn and don't get me started on super normal. It's like their marketing dept just painted the walls grey and thought, how boring can we name them. At least our Coves have dirty names

True, but a bit odd trying to explain to insurers, that a Handjob, hustler and stiffee are actually model names, and I am not messing around.

I get the oddest looks when on the handjob, good job I do not care.

Somebody, for gods sake, do a West Side Story photoshop with the Commencal boys vs the Cove boys

I had to be told up the uplift driver at Cwmcarn what a "shocker" was

Presumably it's connected with being 'up the uplift driver'?

And you say you're not gay enough for a pixie blue Cove?

I don't think I'm ready to be stood in the Welsh car parks with other blokes all talking about Hand Jobs just yet, not unlike your good self...

Oh arse, it wasn't freudian (at least I hope it wasn't) it was just very late. Shamed.

I feel the need for a CwmCarn Cove / Commencal Uplift Shootout Extravaganza.

Rules: No more than 140mm / 5.7 inches of travel. HT's and FS's. I'll take my Stiffee and my Hustler.

That should bed in the Alfine nicely

Mwhaha, i'd be in for a bit of that.

Perhaps we should have some sort of handicap system going though as 'us real men what ride 100mm' may be a little undergunned against the skill enhancement characteristics of the armour wearing pansies as mentioned above.

[EDIT] and 'fan if you don't bloody well glow I want my money back!!

I'd happily do this but I'd be on a Dialled Alpine I've already beaten mk1fan down to the fireroad so wouldn't mind having another pop but on the hardtail against the Hustler.

Mmmmmm, I may loose some man points here, but I don't own anything with less than 6"....

[mk1fan]

Cove / Commencal / Dialled shootout!

Those with more than the specified travel will have a time penalty. Or be forced to ride without pedals!!

Or chains, eh Neil?

[atom111]

mk1fan - I'd still have beat you with no pedals
