Well I've stripped the Knolly, only thing left on there is the headset and KS Lev dropper. As soon as I get the Banshee I'll list it up for sale with all those parts. Getting excited! Good job I live alone, a female would probably get quite angry.. The bikes gonna be nice but that coffee machine looks nicerer, what make is it Seb, i'm interested in what an expert uses

It's a Rancilio Silvia. Marketed as a 'prosumer' machine, but one of the more low end ones, still set me back £600 with the coffee grinder. Makes a damn good cup of coffee though!

I have a Gaggia, an old one, about ten years old, had it from new, never been serviced, never broken down and it still pumps out a good un, i wonder though how much better yours would be though, do us a favour mate bring it to my house and make us one when your up Scotland way so i can compare

I'll pop up after work tomorrow Honestly though, without getting too much into the 'art' of making espresso, it's more about the quality of your grinder over the machine. With the machine as long as the water is around 92*C and pushed through the ground coffee (a fine grind, a little coarser than talc powder) at around 9bar (130psi), with your tamp correct then you'll get a decent cup. If you're actually wanting to learn more, let me know and I'll PM you some more info etc.

Started at a new office for the first time in 26 years today and it came out in conversation that I average 5 to 6 large black coffees a day. They made me feel like some drug frenzied freak.
So interested to know how many you get through and what you consider to be toooooo many.
I would love a decent machine rather than the kettle or tsssimo we have but don't want to enjoy it too much and drink anymore.

I get through about 6 espresso a day, usually mixed in with other stuff.
A great way to enjoy coffee without shelling out for a machine is start going down the pourover route, look at things like the Chemex, V60 or have a look at the Aeropress, great tiny bit of kit you could pop in the bag along with a little stove to heat some water out on the trails.

Looks ace, great fit to the parts you've transferred. Will your fox x2 shock fit on here or are you selling the frame with shock. Either way looks mint.
The best thing is you can't tell it's massive frame like you could a bit more with the knolly,
We are expecting a ride review,

Thanks all! It's an amazing bike, the chain is going in the bin though, snapped and binned me right into a tree. My helmet has a fair dent in it now so that needs replacing.
Anyway, ride report:
It's lovely, the suspension feels plush yet at the same time has an amazing 'pop' to it. I've been charging straight over clumps of roots I'd previously have taken an alternate line through. It hops and skips through berms, blasting out through them! the Knolly always felt pretty stiff, I never felt like I could feel the suspension working. The Rune is totally different. It's a totally different animal, I only managed a couple of runs but it already feels amazing. I'm hoping my reverb comes through tomorrow so I can get that fitted and up to Cannock Saturday, don't fancy manually moving the post!
I'll give a better report once I've got more time on the bike and a new helmet!

You must get that Bell for 55 quid!?
