Hi,

I get the impression good manners on here suggest I should introduce myself before posting a begging message asking for help choosing a bike. So here goes;
My name is Chris. I ride XC (’05 Claud Butler Cape Wrath) and road (Giant Defy). I’m struggling with a hip injury after getting hit by a car last September on my Giant.
(now for the stuff you can pick at) I’m tall, overweight, was ginger, now balding – plenty of ammo there along with my bike choices surely?
Interesting fact 1 – I once met Diane-Louise Jordan of Blue Peter fame. Fact 2 – I’m hoping to complete the Three Peaks in June if the hip gets better.

That’s about it for now, so erm, hi!

Somebody say something?

Hi Chris, the obvious question looking at your post – what bike are you using for the 3 Peaks?

good manners on here

Fail.

Who is this Good Manners to whom he is referring? Is it some other n00b we should be hassling, or is it a diversion so we don’t hassle him. Either way, welcome and you can be leaving yer good manners at the door thank you .

Hi Fred………

Oh yes! Welcome. 😉

Good Manners is a tribute band to these chaps,

and given your admission to being a bit broad of beam and low in the water I think this fits rather nicely.

Welcome

overweight, was ginger, now balding.

my deepest sympathies.

Could be worse, you could be a small skinny lezza with bad hair and a heavy period.

Oh, and what looks like could become a massive spot on my forehead.

😯

Was ginger, now bald? At least things are looking up!

Emsz, I’m no Max Clifford but you need to work on your self promotion.

What’s your position on fat PE teachers?

I try not to position myself on PE teachers at all.

Do you have an opinion on sexy cephalopods?

it’s not ginger bad hair though is it?

No, rocket not ginger, although Flo seems to get enough attention….

Thanks for the welcome. Here’s to many hours of forum trawling instead of working and speaking to the wife! 😆

best thing that happened to me was when my work blocked this site.

If you’ve just found it now, my advice would be to back away fast before it sucks your time dry.

other than that, welcome!

[PS: Fat, balding, ginger, you don’t really expect us to believe you have a wife do you?]

[PPS: Is she fit? Any pics? 😉 ]
