1. Cierre cancelado
    He reescrito esta nota 10 veces porque las palabras no son lo mío y no se explicar la montaña rusa de emociones por la que estoy pasando.

    Por ahora se cancela el cierre. Siento las molestias.
    No voy a entrar a valorar los comentarios de algunas personas, cada uno es libre de opinar lo que quiera (siempre desde el respeto). Solo quería comentar, que la noticia de cierre no fue una cosa pensada en dos días sino en bastantes meses y llegó un momento en que era insostenible.
    También les quiero dar la razón aquellos que se quejan del abandono que sufría la web. Si, tenéis razón y es culpa exclusivamente mía.
    Y por último, esta situación cancela gracias a las múltiples personas que se han puesto en contacto conmigo insistiendo en revertir este cierre. Gracias.

    Gracias otra vez a todos.
    PD. Según tenga noticias las iré comentando de este modo.
  2. Tras 22 años de funcionamiento y muchas vivencias, lamentablemente, ha llegado el momento de decir adiós. Lo que empezó siendo un pequeño foro de "backup" de la web que muchos solíamos visitar, Solomountainbike, se convirtió en una web de referencia del ciclismo en general donde se compartían rutas, vivencias, fotos, kdds, etc.

    Gracias a todos los que contribuisteis moderando secciones, participando en los post, compartiendo vuestras aventuras y en general, haciéndonos participes de vuestras rutas en bicicleta.

    Ha sido un verdadero placer. Nos seguiremos viendo en los caminos/carreteras/watopia o donde sea siempre que se pueda ir en bici :)

    Un saludo

    PD. El cierre será el 5 de Abril de 2026.
    PD2. Actualización: Será el 15 de Abril y quizás se pueda revertir.
    PD3. He quitado toda la publicidad que, sinceramente, era excesiva.
    Dismiss Notice
Cierre cancelado Hasta siempre!

My DH bike build, collecting parts now ...

    Frustrating to realize that i had ordered 2mm too long spokes, and lbs dont have spokes that i need.
    Now i have 72pcs of DT swiss Champion spokes 258mm for sale, black color... too lazy to return them to online store. 72 pcs = 40€

    I suppose that's one of the pitfalls of building your own bike.

    Now everything is on a way, depending on a spanish custom office, I might have my bike ready next week.
    Did not buy Fox40 fork, went for something exotic, KOWA GF which should be here next week as well

    Do you want us all to go there and get your frame by an act of bullying? :pirat No barriers can stop us all.

    Hope it´s over soon.

    Im as flexible and ready to find solutions as anyone can be, used to live in peru and brazil, so i know how it is, but the fact that they refuse to take my money when i offered to pay taxes, thats the strange part here

    It really is. In Peru or Brazil, your money is the first thing to be sought and 1st only step I presume in resolving problems. ;-) This case of yours really intrigues us... Let's see how it is solved in next week´s chapter. This weekend you can ride another bike!

    Cheers.

    Wow got some very nice bikes there!
    I sell new, old stock and ex-demos for SC in the UK so my unit is always full of them.

    I will get some pics this week :)

    Hahaha. I have some more coming this week and Lapierre's ex-demo stock at the end of the month!
    I have a bad habit of buying some of the bikes! Really should stop that as My own garage and storage is getting cluttered.

    I might be interested in a zesty frame if you happen to come across one.

    What year, model and size?
    I sell all of Lapierres used & Ex-demo bikes for them and frequently get them so can certainly keep an eye out for you. Just an idea on price of a couple I have for sale/sold recently:
    2013 514 as new with warranty - Sold for £2299
    2013 XR729, graded 2 so excellent condition. RRP £3600, I am selling it for £2499.
