Oh and have you guys heard of (or have) 'Identiti' Bikes over there? Because i beleive they are pretty UK specific as i've never really seen any outside the UK? (just interested to know) |
Hi Andy I been here in whanga's for 11years and for about 3years I never new there where any trails till I got talkin to the LBS guys and Hello Johnny!!wat a suprize a world opened up for me,its a really good place for a casual rider like me as I ride urban/commuter/a bit of bmx/wanabe DH(too old to want to crack bones)/XC/single track and this place has got it all in moderation,I grew up in U.K (Norwich)I miss rideing to work in 2 foot snow flurries and -5 degree temp,so if you like hot summers welcome aboard.pm if you coming out,have you got pics of your bike as i havent heard of Identiti bikes but can identify maker if we see some pics as factories like Kenisis make frames for afew companies.
gul blimey me ol chum,toddle pip what.

hey i pm-ed in response to your pm before i read you reply on this topic. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/937307/
that was my identiti (lovely bike) although i sold it for a devinci wilson 3 as i was under the impression that it was mainly downhill orientated in new zealand and after searching google NZ i couldnt find anywhere that would supply that specific bike so i figured it was cheaper to buy it hear and ship it over. lovely bike although my first weekend out on it i knackered myself over 3 days then on the last run i broke my collar bone so now i'm out for months.
