V12s, just so you can say you have better pedals than V8s.

I think white will look nice on an olive green bike
Stavs, i take it all back. Drove a corsa C SRi diesel yesterday. Really good car 
I have always said the corsa C is shit, but the SRi is a brilliant hatchback

They'll seize up the moment they get a spash of water on them. Get the V12s, it's worth it.

yer hopes are nice. Not as secure at clamping imo as the shimano's but that is due to their lighter weight etc.
Although if this is only for cross country etc they will be spot on, look the part too. However you end up in a viscious circle of buying seatclamps, skewers, barends etc all for colour co-ordination

I have been using the V12's for about 2 years now, I punish them every week and they stand up to it!
I found the V8's on my mates bike a pain in the arse and my feet slipped off a fair bit.

Nant y arian has 3 stages. I did the biggest today (about 25mile)
Alot of technical downhill stuff and even a water splash through a river. It was all built by Continental tyres.
Machyllneth has 4 stages. Mach 1, Mach 2, Mach 3 and Cli-Mach. All ranging from easy to seriously technical downhill shit.
Well worth a visit, today was incredible, even in the rain
