Interesting, so it looks like there's a lot of spare space in the top, especially compared to the front. Cool stuff, that will be a wicked build, not to mention completely bloody UNMOVABLE once you're done building it.Eagerly awaiting that build log!
Not going to start it for a while. Need to plan and get the fittings in. So far my fittings bill is at £350

I'm not posting a pic yet because I don't want to tempt fate. I'm a bit superstitious, me.
I bought something yesterday. It's an old model and was quite low in numbers when it was made and tbh? I didn't even know something like it existed. However, it was an amazing price (hence why I am thinking too good to be true etc) so I almost bought it immediately. However, I then ran the exact same name through Ebay and it found another one only the page was in native German and it was £45 cheaper. So I bought it, but cautiously.
I watched the other more expensive one for about 40 mins, then it disappeared. Soo, what I am hoping is that yeah there was only one left but they had it added as two listings. And for some reason the English one cost more.
I've been left feedback and it has not been cancelled (yet) so fingers crossed in a few days I will be able to share it with y'all.
Wish me luck !

Well I have done it.. First console since the Gamecube.
I have been hovering back and forth between PS4 and Xbox one X. I eventually decided to get a PS4 Pro, but when I finally (after about ten hours of reading) went to order it it was out of stock. I then spent an hour trying to order one from Very, but it seems they want you to credit it so you can't actually just f*****g buy it.
By this stage (it's been going on since this morning) I was in a bad mood. I went on Ebay, first looked for a Pro but no luck (no stock and stupid prices) and then I happened across the Scorpio. £340, no controller no stand. I already have a controller, and I don't need a stand.
So I got this.
Will be hooked up to the 55" in the bedroom. I am getting too old to be sat in a PC chair for 8 hours at a time. I found that out last week. My ass was hurting for two days.

I dunno how people can sit 8 hours gaming in the first place... But why get FO4 if you have experienced all to offer on the PC?
btw, great thing about xbox if you have a good surround.. it supports Dolby Atmos. That is the only reason I havent sold my Xbox X. Netflix/movies support with Atmos is just stunning.
I don't even use it for gaming now with the exception of FF15. at least that was until I bought it on PC. The Xbox version had the worst ghosting I have ever seen.
Personally I would have been patient and gone for PSpro. Far better selection there.

Because I'm autistic and I like repetition and familiarity. This was why I stopped buying consoles. Or I like to play co op with my buddy. Fallout 3, FONV and FO4 are an ASD's dream tbh. The lone wanderer (yup) and all nice and repetitive, once you have completed it the first time.

Having seen the STA 26 recently with 700c wheels fitted I was inspired. I figure, "Hey, I can ride for about four times further, sitting down !".
I first considered the SE Lager, or the other one the same (just different colour) and putting on some cruiser bars. Then, whilst poking around on Ebay I found this.
2010 DC Shoes SE PK Ripper Fixie. It was £320, from a seller in Germany. I copied the exact listing name to see if there were any others and there was.. The same bike, only with a German listing. It was £280. So I bought it, literally within 2 hours of selling my PK Mike Buff. However, I noted that some people had left bad feedback saying "Waited five days order cancelled no stock". The £320 listing was taken down, though, so I at least had a shred of hope.
Today tracking was provided and it has now been collected by UPS for delivery on Weds. I am so excited I could myself. RRP was $1000. I paid 1/3 of that.
I did have some immediate buyer's remorse, but the more I thought about it the more I fell in love with it and for an entire week I didn't know if I would get it or not. It's got some nice parts, too.
I can't afford carbon mags, but I can afford the next best thing..
So I will be ordering those next week
This is the BMX that inspired me..

I love my bikes dude. They are my life tbh. I just sold two, and I am getting a bit old for riding a 20". I can actually sit down !!!
I just bought this lot.
Well happy. Bike is going to look beautiful with those on. Tyres are 33mm too, rather than 23. So I won't feel too scared riding on skinny wheels.

That was my past dude. It wasn't a case of buy a new bike, it was more "Whose bike are you riding this week?". You couldn't have anything nice there, it was horrible. You rode stolen bikes and yours got stolen, deal with it. Where I used to live? you couldn't even have a garden gnome or a potted plant. Some ahole would nick it.
So, SO glad I don't live there any more.
This is the first grown ups bike I have ever owned. Wow, took me long enough !

Sounds like where I grew up, where I lived was classed as the roughest area in the Medway towns it's where they put the rough families and many of them found they weren't that tough and wanted to move out, police never went there alone

Yup, totally. We had a pikey site over the back of the park and it had a one way "lane" going up to it. The police wouldn't go there either. The one time they tried to go up there to arrest some one they got a paving slab through the windscreen.
It's all fun and exciting when you are a kid. Not so much as an adult. I took it for 27 years, that was long enough.
