I see what you did there Drac, chapeau!

I saw this earlier today. I don’t get how this relevant to the book? It’s almost like they have got the wrong picture on the cover.

I’m to the west of Salisbury and south of Warminster. There isn’t much in the way of singletrack but there plenty of bridleways to explore.

I have a pair of Endura overshoes. Good in the cold. In the wet they do eventually let water in but my feet have stayed warm in the past.

You just sprayed it over the jacket?

I’ve got one, it’s very very nice. Perhaps a bit heavy though.

See rule 34.

I recently shot a LAW 66 rocket launcher. I missed unfortunately.

I had a three series coupe when Miss Beaker was a couple of years old. Her seat was a pain to move between cars admittedly but it was workable. What’s the harm in seeing how you get on before buying a new car?

I had similar with my Maverick shock. It was a slower leak than yours but I put it off for ages and kept topping it up. I eventually sent it off and it came back working like a brand new shock and it changed the feel of the bike. Don’t put it off, get it serviced.

Friend of mine had an Overfinch. Sounded like a Spitfire engine.

I was up there a couple of weeks ago. The marked trails were pretty easy to follow. As ever with Swinley you need a local for all the best stuff.

Crouchingpig, you’re a star! I’ve used your code and I can’t thank you enough. 10 speed here I come!

Miss Beaker has just started riding a bike with gears (21 of them!) and has no problems. She has only used gears 1 to 7 so far but it has opened up her eyes to getting out further on a bike. The shimano Revoshift shifter she uses has such a light action. I hope to get her up to Swinley this week!

I’m a shade under six foot with a 32″ inside leg measurement. I rode a 19″ frame (a Kilauea) and it was perfect for me. It was also one of the finest handling bikes I’ve owned.

Four new bikes
10+ frames
Indy Fab Deluxe

I’ve got one in the garage if that helps?

If it’s any help I’ve been on STW since about 2003.

Quite happy with my Raceface Turbine so far.

Last day of the season tomorrow….. How have you all done?

Love mine as well! Well worth the outlay!

Ideally enjoyed my trip up there today. This is the first time I’ve ridden it since it all went one way and I thought it was ok. It was quite nice to put the bike back in the car with a little dust on it for a change….. Back in a couple of weeks I think!

It need an STW link… I’m thinking “Backdoor Components”, “Picolax Parts” or “Shed Beard”

A friend of mine was supposed to be collecting her new road bike from them at the weekend and got to the shop to find it had closed. She drove thirty mins to get there and had no idea that they had closed down. She then had a day of faffing around trying to spend her cycle to work voucher elsewhere. It is a shame to see them go but they had tailed off a fair bit from their 90’s heyday. As mentioned above Cadence are well worth a visit.

Any more than seven in a day and you’ll die…. or so I was told.

I was about to write a similar post. …… I feel an afternoon in the workshop is in order.

Thank you for all your replies!

Yes Dan, or at least in a couple of weeks I will be.

I’m back out there in a couple of weeks Dan, give me a shout and we can grab a mediocre brew at the EFI.

I used to work in that shop! Back when it was at the mini roundabout. There is some riding on the western edge of the town but not a huge amount. It’s not a bad small market town otherwise.

Didn’t notice that! Sorry all!

Every Christmas I insist upon ‘vodka margarine’ on my Christmas pudding instead of brandy butter.

@JoB… is that your Saffron on their website?

The lack of mountain biking in Andover was why I ended up with a road bike….

How easy is the purchase process for one of these? How much do you end up paying for a frame?

This quote is from Tour de France winner Fausto Coppi. When asked for the three most important tips he could give to someone wanting to improve in cycling, his reply was, “Ride the bike, ride the bike, ride the bike!”

That’s the one mrmo. Somehow it doesn’t look as pretty as I remember it.

You’ll have to give them to me. They are very likely to explode if ridden off a curb…… They’ll be fine around a trail centre unless you are a total loon.

I remember seeing the beryllium framed bike they made in Mountain Bike Action. It only cost $26000 (yes 26k)……

Hey Crush- I’m at your location. Ping me an email and we’ll get a brew organised. Email in profile.
