Norco 250 with Deity stem, bars, seat, 4130 crank/BB, scott grips, bomber 66's, atomlab pimp 160mm rear disc, halflink chain, 28T front, 14T rear...

150 for the bike, then spent 90 on the bombers (after breaking 2 sets of DJ1s and selling them on ebay for 65) and 15 on the brake!

it is indeed a 400, they go like fook for a wee bike, and easilly keep up with bigger bikes in real world road riding. wanna buy it? it's for sale lol

Nc30 is prob the best handling bike ever made I've had all models of Vfr400 and the nc30 is by far the best I'll try find a pic of my last one nothing will stand up to one on twisty bits few airbox mods and jetting and the thing will be awesome my old one would do 140 mph easy

25-07-11, 02:13 AM
I had one, but sold it as mother got very worried (17 at the time lol) didnt even get to use it on the road :cry:
I'm now 21 and my maniac days are behind me lol so shes fine about it now, bought it for 350, left it in my garage and sold it for 700 which funded getting my car on the road.

29-07-11, 03:10 PM
quite into my bikes, used to be right into mountain biking and bmx but more recently its all about having an engine!

my first motorbike, race tuned rm80, went like stink
http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a438/grooge/rm80.jpg

after that i got a dt125, spent a lot of time riding it and unlike the 80 it was super reliable
http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a438/grooge/dirtbike.jpg

then i swapped it with a mate for a car and bought myself a kmx200. still got it but ive stripped the sump plug on it :roll:
http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a438/grooge/kmx200.jpg

start of the summer i wanted more power so got a drz400. got knobblies on at the moment but they're really worn and i've since decided its too big and heavy for me offroad, i can only just touch the ground on it when the bikes at a slight angle! so i'm going to fit supermoto wheels i think
http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a438/grooge/drz400.jpg


mountain bikes i've got at the moment are

99 kona nunu, hope hubs, headset, mavic rims, avid speed dial brakes, z5 or z1 bombers depending, xt mechs. had this since 2001 and will never sell it. raced in scottish and british champs on it
http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a438/grooge/konaracebike.jpg

got a 99 stinky i've built up using spare parts i had. not got a current photo but this is what it looked like when i bought it. hope to take it up to ft william for the dh course in the next couple of weeks
http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a438/grooge/IMGP1078.jpg

got a commencal absolut jump bike, specialized allez for the road, specialized fuse 3 bmx, hoffman rythm bmx and this skyway TA that i was going to restore but now going to sell i think.

mines a 600 lol

Im only 5"7 / 5"8 i think, cbr is one of the taller bikes apparently but you spend most your time sitting on it not holding it up

Saw a bird turn up at box hill on an r1 the other week, she must have only been about 5"2, had to hang off it to get her foot down, had track stickers on it though! fair play!

29-07-11, 06:38 PM
Mmmm, '90s dales, always wanted a 'volvo cannondale' ashton bike, dont know what model it was but with hs33's and their trademark 'headshok' forks, it looked cooler than a penguins joy department:d

grooge
30-07-11, 04:49 PM
managed to persuade my dad into getting a team volvo cannondale f3000sl frame and headshok forks a couple years ago. its lovely to ride, maybe not the highest spec'd bike out, mostly xt/slx components but we've decided theres no point in going any better, riding through the winter up here he'll have to replace the whole drivetrain and again after race season, forks will need serviced a couple of times etc it soon adds up! especially if you run more than one bike. hes got a carbon scott cr1, a bianchi mtb and to keep them from gathering dust he uses my brothers trek and scott mtb's aswell! and thats just the bikes he rides, he has others, hes completely bike daft!!
