Lucky I'm not sensitive about my 'restrained' riding style

I'd be checking your Walker frame though if I was you, 'someone' might saw halfway through one of the legs while you're in the back of the van trying to find where you've spat your dentures this time

Sorry Bill,

I think it would be more appropriate if it was Mr Pot and Mrs Kettle.

And be careful as Mrs Kettle gets a bit flustered when you mention the Black…

And I'm back to Plan A - build a KX125/KDX175 hybrid.

The KX frame has a flogged out rocker hole (and it would be a total prick to repair, as the hole is obscured by other frame tubes, and someone has had a crappy go at fixing it before now). Its also previously broken on the front down tube, and that repair is structurally sound but ugly as sin.
The KX crank is also damaged on the drive end.
Shock will probably be KDX with the KX's cannister.

So... KX forks and swing arm into the good KDX175 frame. Not sure whether to make it a 125 or a 175 though. My heart says 125, but my head points out that while Vinduros are non-competitive and have no classes, the sensible thing is to make it a 175.

I'll be keeping all of the 'left over' bits, so bth bikes can be returned to stock if someone finds the motivation to do so.

[vandy010]

Yep!
stick to vinduro Nathan.
we don't want a repeat of last time now do we?

[Davey Crocket]

He'd just remembered he had forgotten to check his tire pressures.

[Nathan S]

That couldn't possibly have been me!
For a start, the rider is wearing vaguely current (at the time) riding gear, and has an apparently new bike.

But the real reason is that he fell off while at the front of the pack.

[YZ250H]

I don't care what he says.  That is definitely Nathan in that picture and I am saving that photo for future use
