If you do the required maintenace of the pivots (ie getting out twith the grease gun and putting some grease in) the pivots will be sweet after two or 3 winters, remember that Turners use Bushes not sealed cartridge ball bearings

Whats up with the horrible green..??
Does anyone else think it's strange that both Santa Cruz, and Turner are advertising their new big boys in both a similar colour green?

I am ahead of the fashion curve again. I just had my purple ano Pulstar hub rebuilt.
and Ive got some purple ano skewers (well one).
I really like that purple ano headset. You can get cranks too.
mmm puuuuuuuuuuuuuurple. Its a flavour.

the thing that really spun my wheels was the "carbon Drive bike" Its a Gates aramid belt drive (think about your uncle's Harley... a lot of their bikes are belt driven).
This is perfect technology for pushbikes: Light, simple, efficicient and compatible with the rest of the bicycles systems (hubs, wheels, frames.
I want one. I particularly want the Spot Brand rigid Ti version. oh yes.
