Neil-NA Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 2006. I've been in contact with Windwave, used to send my forks there direct, but they only deal with dealers now :-( they are 2006 QR not 20mm bolt through. Ok i will speak to the mods 1st then get in contact and get you a price. I'm after a bike but don't know anything about them at all , What could i get thats fairly decent for around the £3-400 mark . just for me to get abit fitter thats all . Theres lots to choose from around that price, it will see you with a decent entry level bike, try to ignore what you read in magazines and some of the 'big bike forums' as most are biased. For that money i would go for a Kona fire mountain, alloy frame disc brakes etc, again this is a biased view as i have ridden and raced Kona most my life. Ideally you need to atleast sit on the bike and get a feel for it, the geometry and size of the bike is far morew important than the initial spec of it. If you see any bikes any where then let me know and i will tell you if its much cop or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a big thing about that car being cloned though, a guy called Chris from Yorkshire bought the cloned car. Was a gorgeous car, i spent many an evening drag racing against that in my pulsar.
