Jeepers Benji. I had not seen Threads because I didn't get to watch TV until about 1991. And there I was thinking Years and Years was terrifying. Are you available for motivational speeches, pre-concert warm ups, and other uplifting scenarios? Jeez.

May I be the first to say, "How much for a chainset?" You could get a bike for that.

Next ST team meeting... I will find a 8 dozen puppies, and we will bury Benji in cute puppies. That will cheer him up.

Hannah must have pretty powerful pits, they've burned a hole right through that top.

Lovely crankset, but a bit pricey for me.....

Despite the cost stopping me from ever experiencing them in the real world, them cranks don't alf look stunning! (As do the pedals and stem, and much other expensive things....)

How well does sintered titanium hold up to the rigours of drivetrain use?

Is the spring included with the Jade X shock now?

@footflaps it's been a long week.
@IHN I'm on a water meter, I try not to wash too often.

£1440 for just one additive-Ti component doesn't seem like great vaue compared to an Atherton frame whcih has multiple lugs and linkages all made using the same method, and a load of carbon tubes chucked in.

The airbnb looks ace, definitely a possibility for early summer 2023.

I watched Threads as a teenager, totally terrifying. Apparently after it was shown across Europe (and a similar film in the States) it led to treatys etc to stop it happening. A few world leaders need to watch it now.

Bloody changing towels for £90!!! It isn't a fashion accessory, put it on, get changed, take it off. Don't continue to wear it afterwards, no you shouldn't be walking to the shops in one.

I got a boggo changing towel off ebay for £15, it's job is to stop people seeing my arse crack whilst getting out of my riding kit and into a pair of jeans.

Could Kid Jensen have been any cooler? LoL! Good to see some classy miming from Magazine there on "Sharks from both sides" as one of my mates once thought the lyrics were.
Oh and bike stuff.

I'd put a 15 quid steely NX ring on that crankset cos it would last longer.

@Chipps' place is just down the road from Mas Forge, where I spent many a childhood summer holiday. It's a lovely area and one I'm definitely planning on returning to.

Ah, being the highly suggestible type I pointed my better half towards Chipps' bnb and now we're going in August.
