On getting back home t'night my postie had left a cd and heavyweight vinyl of [url= http://www.roughtrade.com/albums/71538 ]Tunng - Turbines[/url] inside the door for me, along with an Aeropress coffee maker for my bro's birthday on monday - tiz' been a good night having a few malts and listening to Tunng and occasional forays in the new Boards Of Canada - Tomorrows Harvest album whilst speccing up a few nice touring build possibilities for a customer.

Might just sink back in the chair now wi the headphones, nice malt whisky and Tunng.

The wrong forks - colour was right - but I asked for 150mm for a 26" bike, not 140 on a 29-er.

No response from On-One yet - and no answer on the phones. 🙁

Shorter stem (70mm from 100mm) and Salsa fliplock to finetune my position - and a vulpine.cc merino t-shirt.

What I REALLY needed though, was the ability to change my disc pads proficiently. Now I have just a front brake for tomorrow's solstice night ride 🙁
