pete600 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I like the look of that where did you get it from. I have just left my cannondale flash 4 back in the UK and now back on my road bike. I like the speed of a road bike but you cant beat getting away from it all on a MTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ad61 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 I bought the "Stumpy" from Sport Bicycle in Bangkok; first, they didn't bring it in, they had only the Epic model which is more an XC bike; a few month after my request, they send me a mail telling me that they finally decided to import some; I'm not sure if they still have any in stock, shoot them an e-mail (you can find them in the Specialized web site). Cheers. By the way, the Fuel Ex5 has been sold over the week end. I like the look of that where did you get it from.

GuestHouse Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm in the process of reassembling a 1980s 753 Raleigh TI team frame (Made to measure at Ilkeston by Gerald O'Donovan) and fully kitted out with Campagnolo Super Record..... You're going to love the photos almost as much as I'm going to love riding it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuestHouse Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm afraid you are going to have to wait, unless of course I do one of those 'build threads' like guys do when they are building their wife a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuestHouse Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That's a lot of bikes, Ian, do you not suffer from the problem of when you are riding one you wish you were riding the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naam Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 how many horse powers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalPoster Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) how many horse powers? Depends on the rider. A relatively in-shape road rider will generally output an average of about 200 to 300 watts on long recreational rides, maybe about 4 times that in a flat-out sprint. And 746 watts equals 1 horsepower. Edited April 10, 2012 by OriginalPoster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianf Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 That's a lot of bikes, Ian, do you not suffer from the problem of when you are riding one you wish you were riding the other? There are classic bikes for show only; track bikes for the velodrome; MTB for racing skidding around; A time trial bike and so on. I bought a lot of track bikes to help Thai riders on the velodrome, so there's about 7 of those. Incidentally, I've just published a booklet on riding the velodrome in Chiang Mai, in English and Thai. Fairly basic but it may help people get started. I can post you one for small donation or email you if you PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode Track, TT and Road events in my youth, I rode the national track championships three years in the 80s and held a 1st cat license for 7 years. Some of my favourite memories if racing are competing in the track leagues at Welyn Garden City, Reading, Leicester and Scunthorpe - really happy memories. In June of this year I'll be riding my first track event for 25 years at Quibell Park in Scunthorpe UK - I'm introducing my daughter to track racing, she's going to be riding one of my old Raleighs - I'm really looking forward to it.

Sounds goo. If you end up back in Thailand, come here to Chiang Mai and have a bash on the track! Anyone else want to experience track riding? Drop me a PM if so.

GuestHouse Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Here's a shot of one of my track bikes - I have two identical. I used to set one machine up for sprint events and the other for distance events, the label you can see on the top tube is were I used to make note of the gear ratio so that I could easily select the right machine during a track event.

We do have regular track sessions here at the Chiang Mai velodrome and you would be welcome to come along and ride or help out. The peeps who come here are young Thais and old farangs, quite a mix really and we do some good sessions. PM me .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
