Christian?

Arrriiiiiiiight.

They all count JY!

I remember my first euro evening at OT like it was yesterday – as a 9 year old V Spartak Varna in 84? Chips, cigar smoke in the air, the odd swear word I didn’t understand. A whole new world for me. My dad got a bollocking on our return as he’d remembered his own gloves but forgot mine. I squeezed my two hands into one of his gloves for most of the game.

Didn’t get a ticket for the next round (!!) but did manage to see Maradonna play for Boca a few times in the mid nineties in La Bonbonera with the old boy. He paid, I called it payback for not getting us in to the Barca game more than a decade earlier.

Happy days. She’ll remember it in years to come Binners!

I feel ya pain brother. As I sit waiting for mini beagle number 2 to stir before giving her a bottle while Mrs beagle gets some sleep. It’s hitting me now that 2 kids is going to be way different prospect than just the one we have been used to for 3 years.

It’s helped to have a few things (riding trips/days) in the diary despite them being ages away. Just fit in what I can, be more organised and not deliberate on getting out.

I like my own space too and a bit of tranquility. I’ve pretty much written that off for now. Which reminds me, I need to fit a lock on the bathroom door at the weekend.

Love those guys. Met them on the State of Euphoria Tour in my early teens at the Apollo in Ardwick. Bermuda shorts on, the lot!
I’m a relative shortass now and was back then. Still taller than Dan Spitz. Bless him.

Foundation. That’s on you route – Northern Quarter

Bit on the trendy side mind.

Edi. Couple of bike shops nearby too!!

Good stuff!!!

Lovely. Like the Bokeh but have always craved a definition. They are all lovely bikes and very excited about the development of Mason. They’ll definitely be one for me in the near future.

If anyone is reading this thread and is pondering swapping a resolution or definition for a Bokeh….I’m keeping my eye out for a 52cm. All the second hand ones around have been 56cm or more!! If not the only consolation would be by the time I can afford a new definition, Dom would have gone flat mount on the rear. I have some flat mount shimano ready and waiting.

The Ti one will be a treat eh? Wowza!

turned out to be a bourbon the father in law had left on the kitchen island. Good lad Mike.

Cheers All !!! Edit – Palm drink looks interesting. I pass a tescos on the way home too!!

Whatever real ale is at the front of the shelf when I get back from hospital (to celebrate mini beagle number 2 arriving safely this afternoon) :wink:

Hey thepodge.

I’m 5’9″ and have a brand new Medium Genesis Datum frame and forks for sale.

Make me an offer!

Read Chad’s blog for a start:

http://bikes-in-a-barn.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

He owns this shop: http://redbarnbicycles.com

I’d call/email for a chat too. He’s a super friendly bloke and will give you some insider info I’m sure!

Surprised someone hasn’t chimed in who is building a Mason Bokeh up. And yes, they’ll both be a hoot!

Got to this late as I had a spare, sorry! I have kit sat around waiting a Mason build. Got to sell the Datum frame first. I had been hoping to score a Definition second hand when someone fancies a move to a Bokeh. I think I’ll be very lucky with that!!

Thanks Jules – YHM. Cheers

I’d seen the Mac-ride and remember reading a bit on here Jam bo. Cheers for the response. Do you know the reasons? Trouble is, you can’t ask the kids to stop growing while these things are sorted! These early years are so precious.

Oh and the Tamiya Boomerang too.

I came on to post about Strickland and Derby Arms. We enjoy the Cavendish in Cartmel too. All a bit south from Grasmere!

Bivvy and Fresh pizza. Awesome! Thanks for that!

The problem I’m having with the we-ride is that the headtube has to be pretty lengthy. I have a transition klunker for kid carrying duties using the we-ride which I need to replace with a slack steel 29er – with more gearing!. Very difficult to find a candidate which doesn’t have a short head tube – especially the upper part.

Threads searched!

Quite like the lines of this. http://www.diy.com/departments/command-post-6×4-playhouse-assembly-required/537191_BQ.prd?ecamp=Seapla&ppc_type=shopping&ds_kids=92700014019293806&gclid=CM-ottXz2NACFQ0z0wodwSgN7Q&dclid=CLXt5dbz2NACFZPjGwodDXkPpA

Painted properly. Obviously. Not sure about the roof. Tomorrow will be drawing it all out. Thanks for he ideas all and tips Sadex. I wonder about materials in a shady corner of the plot!

I’ll post up designs when done. Part of me feels like buying a kit and hacking/adding to it as I want, I suppose that’s just lazy really and design up what I think will be best.

Cheers

Knackered thermocouple ?? (not qualified btw!)

Happens on a bi monthly basis. Link takes you to marzocchi warranty department 8O

Thanks for the heads up. Gonna grab my backstreet friend and get loud.

And blow some doors of hinges and all that.

Ideally listen to this tinkereing with bike in garage with a coffee. Probably be surrounded by three year olds in the swimming pool. I player it is then.

On a related topic – how’s the bottom half of the descent through the Golf Course which spits you out on tBridleway 158? At SJ973872?

Has it broken up yet?

I know it looks like a work place lock up, but I’d be checking there is actually something lockable under that foam! Isn’t the latest trick to mask over the lock up bar somehow?!!

Mikewsmith – exactly. I like the fact they state ‘ride everything’. Vast majority of my road kit is Morvelo and it’s great stuff.

I think the RCC and it’s application tosh is as far removed from the inclusive nature of the mtb/cycling scene I’ve known for the last 30 years.

Oooh. Lovely. Ta Bruce! Much room to spare?

Cheers Senor. How do they hold up off road? Thinking surly knard 700×41, but they look big!!

Woah, woah

Go easy on me :-)

I’ve given up on magura after being a fanboy for years. Clamp made of cheese on last version of louise – ok possibly deliberately so to avoid other damage, but at least make spares readily available and somewhere/someone who can be assed in the UK to deal with getting spares in. Cost me an extortionate amount to sort not to mention time. Also another design fault at the lever on another model. Shame IMO as they used to be sooo good and reliable.

Mason Bokeh? Looks very very nice!

Had mine pinned after 2 weeks, but was told initially that it should heal up itself. When the specialist saw it he was in no doubt whatsoever. Six screws and a plate back in Feb. I’m almost symmetrical and no pain at all. Unless my little 2.5 YO girl doesn’t kneel directly on it – nearly threw her across the lounge in fully automated response fashion!

As I was to be operated on, I was told not to wear the £33 Procare clavicle figure of eight I purchased so have it fully boxed and as new for £18 posted to any poor bugger on this thread :P

Likewise sofa boy!

Milkie… Like your style 1210s for beats on a ride!!

Ride Sierra Nevada. Shawn is a top bloke – get in contact as he and Csilla have kids and they would tee up something. Granada is pretty close and a lovely place to see.

Could be a bit hot though.

Oh and the trails are awesome!

I’m not too far away. Ta for that.

Anyone with any knowledge of Focus – buying frame only. Seem pricey when you look at the completes.

Tempting, but half the problem for me is trying one for size! Bad enough with the brands. Also I always seem to fall between sizes. Looks nice though.

Cheers Bikebouy. What would you place in a similar category? Any recommendations?

Aye.
