    Nice work Shaggy. Fine looking frame that.

    That Titchmarsh is lovely – almost makes me want to get a rohloff!

    That twitch arse

    (Heh autocorrect left in for teh Lols)

    Looks sweet

    Went yesterday. Really enjoyed it. And being in the velodrome was great. Now very tempted to ride round the velodrome and go on a frame building course. The Automatic Cycles bike ^ was my favourite, just looks proper.

    I think I need to go to the show next year (I said that last year).

    Thanks Mal-ec and Whippersnapper. It was quite a mental weekend. It had been down to the wire- the paint was still wet on both bikes but they seemed to go down well. I love the 29+ (dubbed Action Boy) but the road/gravel/allroad/cx bike was a bunch harder to make and seemed less appealing to the people there. Nice that Chris King (THE CHRIS KING!) and the guys from Columbus were in to it though.

    Just drooled all over my tablet.
