Post by pip155 »

Hi all just found this forum whilst looking for some info for a 5sl conventional fork conversion on 5eb R6 track bike. Im from up north east England & had my 5eb track bike for 5 years now & still love it. Still shows some younger bikes up.

Im up Middlesbrough area. Been riding bikes since I was 8, starting on a ty80 (don't we all) after a few years messing around on trials bikes started doing mx. After 10 years of competing locally & numerous injuries & a house purchase decided it was time to retire from bikes. That lasted all of a year then bought an r6 5eb, then an R1 5vy, then started road racing a 5eb about 4 years ago, kept hold of R1 but it wasn't getting used so sold it to fund racing (sad day when that went I tell thee). Still loving the 5eb but maybe a move to a newer one next year in on the cards, but will wait & see how things pan out.

Welcome to the forum pip, as Paul said, the guys are at cadwell for a few days so the forum will be quiet, when they are all back all hell will break loose and it will be business as normal.

This is a great site, the guys have shed loads of knowledge and like helping each other out. Any questions just ask

So welcome

Stephen :)
