The answer is obvious when you consider the questions from the right perspective (that is the from the point of view of my backside); what I need is a new bike of course.
My current stable only has one hardtail mountainbike in it and if I am to ride off road non-stop for 24 hours then I am going to need something to ease the pain that is inevitably going to occur in the shape of a bouncy full suspension bike.
This is where my friend (and hopefully co-racer) comes in. He is desperate to sell his Cannondale to me for a respectable price so that he can upgrade to something that will better fit his skills, dodgy neck and improved financial status.
Clearly the stars are aligned on this one* as we will be passing his house in our car at Easter as well so MK had better get working on those excuses...
* The evidence that this is meant to be is overwhelming:
- I like the bike
- It is the right size
- I have a reason to buy it this year having not been that interested in mountainbikes for a while
- We are going to be nearby in our car at the right time
- It is going to be cheap
What about this - we live in Denmark where the highest point is less than 200 meters above sea level - how can that possibly justify another montain bike?
ReplyDeleteNow then, how was it that I moderate these comments???
ReplyDeleteHow about the fact that last time you had a full suspension bike, you just moaned about it all of the time, and then didn't pass it on to me! Consider the purchase of some new t-shirts for your 'scruffy' brother instead?
ReplyDeleteTim has been having imaginary conversations with auntie Kafrun on his new 'black phone' for the last 2 days. They normally go along the lines of 'Hello auntie Kafrun, I'm so sorry about, speak to you later, Bye!'
There's still a Diamond Back in the factory.
ReplyDeleteShall I send it over or bring it at Easter?
Why on earth do es anyone think that you would moderate anything - not a trait you're noted for.

I can see my 'new' birthday bike being a turd hand well abused softtail MB - hey ho!G
ReplyDeleteHow much did you want for the old bike?
ReplyDeleteThanks for email

The diamond back in the factory is George's, the one I owned years ago was donated to Ben's friends son. The mountain bike I have is a hard tail, not soft tail. It can be for sale if anyone is interested...
ReplyDeletea hard tail not a soft tail, the mind boggles as well as the bicycle.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is definitely of the hard tail variety,
ReplyDeleteWould this form of perambulation suit him?
I want to ensure that he is well exercised at such a significant age.
