Finally finished the final build of my Hemlock now, there is absolutely nothing left that i want to change! Trouble is, i'm going to get board! Still keep looking at the classifieds for bargains i dont need, got a hardtail i hardly use, got a road(ish) bike i hardly use aswell! What am i supposed to do with my spare time now???

Don't worry, you are not alone. I built a Cervelo S1 with full 6700 Ultegra (£2.5K bike) last week and am already wondering what next. New forks for the Ti Altitude probably...

Hey Mick, I have five Intense bikes now, two Marin frames that are awaiting building and an old P3 that needs building. Could pop round and give me a hand if you want?

Spend your time being totally obsessed with keeping your bike clean. Buy a dealer pack of gear inners and outers and get a small parts cleaner. After every ride no matter how small wet dry clean or dirty TOTALLY strip down your bike clean and rebuild. That should keep your itchy credit card at bay.

As tempting as it is to come and help you all with your maintanance, i wouldn't want to deprive you all of the satisfaction of doing it yourself! Curly - you want to try riding atleast one of them! We realy need to sort that night ride before the summer comes!

My van snapped a gear cable and its £120 for another one! I am not allowed to use the works van for personal use and I have no other form of transport. Will try for next week?
