I found an old Leica film camera at a car boot sale in Kamloops in Canada last summer for $10. When I at the boot sale I was thinking hmmm Leica, I know they are expensive, went home and looked them up and nearly shit my pants… they were all prices between £1000-2000!!!!!

I eventually sold it to a Leica specialist in London for £880 with a lens and case (needed a refurbishment)

was one of these http://www.ebay.com/bhp/leica-m4-p

I also found some RAD fluro old sunnies at the same car boot sale for $4 which again when I have looked them up are around £80

These… little bit of a scary photo

Thanks lads, looks like its possible then.

Nooooo the point is not to use a tensioner as it looks crap…

Also shared, seems like a very informative non-biased article

The girl I like/seeing came and spent the day at my house (I live in a rented house). We spent the day exploring the huuuuuge garden (more a forest) with waterfalls, trees, ponds, benches made of skis and all sorts and it was super sunny about 22 degrees (live in France) and I smiled all day.

Still smiling in fact.

Correct me if I am wrong, but are you saying you have pais £89 to try on a helmet?

If you ‘polish’ your bike you have already gone too far and need a slap

Nope, moved there instead yaaay

Love it. Where is the first photo exactly? I thiiiink the 2nd one is over the opposite side of the valley from the descent from watendlath so you are on the descent from Honister pass to Grange? Can’t work out your first one though…

Cracking pics

Where abouts exactly are you, would be interested to know?

Also do you plan to use an architect? (I hope so :D )

Also interested to know why you might get booted out in 7yrs… Got to ask what is the point if that is the case?

ohhh tense… speculation… ohhhh

Slight digression but can I ask, if I were to stick a narrow/wide chainring on my year old drivetrain would that work straight out? (generally speaking) Or am I more than likely gong to have to replace the chain and hence the cassette too?

Yeahhhh but zippy, the guy sound like a roiggght bell end, no wonder they ran away from him.

YAAASSSSS I WON. But now I hate myself because I spent so much time on it!

Motivation, my bike lives at the end of my bed, it is pretty good motivation when it sits next to you looking at you, asking to be ridden :lol:

You going to try figure our what happened to that flight in Malaysia are you?

I live in France and The Archers is a fantastic reminder of Englishness haha, so it often gets listened to over here.

OK! Thought that might be the case! Davina McCall’s effort was pretty decent also to be fair, especially with the crappy weather she had!

Mither Tap – old nipple hill

Before you start – Take a selfie and tell everyone you are at the gym, otherwise your workout will be pointless!

What happens if I just leave it?

I don’t know if there is play in the frame or not because the bearings in my rear wheel are screwed therefore any play there is I have put down to that.

Hmm I did that, however when I ‘previewed’ it didn’t show. Cheers though

If someone would explain how I host a youtube video on here that would also be helpful 8)

I got some when CRC were selling them deed cheap, I think they were the 2012 versions? A set of these…

I would say i ride quite hard and I have them on a bike with 170mm front and 160m rear travel with some big 2.4” tyres so a ‘big’ bike if you like. They did both buckle within 6-8months I have had them trued and are running ok for now (I now ride in the alps on some pretty rough terrain).

The bearings in the rear have gone in the last month however Easton offer a free upgrade for their certain hubs (these 2012 versions included) as they significantly upgraded their bearings (their words) in 2013 revision which I am in the process of getting sorted!

Hope that helps

AHAHAHA

That really made me laugh rusty!

it’s fine, he is just taking it for a sunday stroll, little countryside jaunt

I would buy a pig simply to be able to do this…. once I acquire a bike with a pig cage on the side

Yes indeed Martin, everything I have put on that blog has been ridden straight from my door in the city. Perfect.

The city itself is not so huge but It is nice enough, however bike theft is RIFE you can not leave your bike for 5 seconds, even if its a shitty old banger! Worst in France I think, that is the only problem though.

looks like a squeaky one to me

LOL! The girl in the ‘Maybee Green Dark’ t-shirt definitely looks like she is letting one fly!

Legend – I’m a Geordie and that has REALLY cracked me up man! nice one

I went on a ride on saturday and I take quite a few photos just with my camera phone (its a Sony Xperia Z), it takes some damn good photos, I can’t get enough of these two, keep looking back at them. Mainly because there is just so much going on in the second one, with the snow, the city, the mountains, the clouds, the light, I took a series of photos and then stitched them together in Photoshop when I got home.

Its worth looking at that second one in… Full Size

Waller – I will be but I am in france, was just going to sell them here as i imagine posting will be £20 or so

Thanks for the responses lads.

I am just wanting rid of them, need the money so I think just selling them as they are is the best option as I wont get my money back on a service I don’t imagine.

Rumble – thats what I was wondering?

Banks – I have new forks and just want to see what I can do to sell these, obviously worth a good bit more in when the talas works but if i have to replace the cartridge its not worth it to sell them, just sell them as talas not working.

Any guesses on what they are worth like that? Everything else works fine. Essentially a set of 160mm float 36s? Tapered steerer and 20mm axle

Thanks for the info man

But I mean, who does that?! It is just a faff!

Have a look on amazon too, they are cheaper

Sounds good man! Hope we hear more good news like this soon
