three:

cotic simple

il pompino

planet x sl carbon

( plus two for mrs b and the shed is full so my budget for an orange 5 has to extend to a bigger shed as well 🙁 )

yeah bike-art have a fleet of basic hardtails for about £12/hr iirc

look variable quality but dig around and you should find something half decent ( and shouldn’t be too badly trashed as its early in the season)

if you want top-end / full sus phone them and reserve at least 24hrs in advance and take your own pedals
can’t remember rates but i think they were reasonable

customer service not a strong point there though so be prepared for norfolk grumpiness and don’t take it personally 🙁

i have a large one (ahem) bought two years ago this week ultegra equipped tdf special offer
ive nothing to compare it to but been very happy with it . probably too posh for the kind of riding i do but sometimes its nice to ride something light and fast
recently flipped the stem for comfort and swapped the drops for midge bars -best move ever!
only criticism is of carbon frames in general – just doesn’t feel like the right material for a frame – kinda plasticky (not like real steel)

‘motorcycle diaries’ the true story of che guevara and his mate on an epic road trip thro south america great film and book

i’d say black
it feels more natural and saves the best bit til last

cures athletes foot

ive got all the excuses

in the compost bin – speeds up the composting process and legitamizes peeing in the garden

some boilers have an ‘anti-seize’ function whereby the pump will run for a few minutes every 24 hrs say just to stop it seizing up

definitely shouldn’t run permanently or when there is no demand

he plays on the right
that boy ronaldo made england look sh-te
that **** ronaldo is on the next madrid flight

not sick honest i’m a gas installer

more of a buy a bottle and drink it man meself

might have stored one for a day or two once

selective perception stoner but the first thing i noticed in that photo was the gas meter

impressive cellar!

if i had a bottle of anything in the house i’d be having a glass by now

but i’m being “good” this week 🙁

i have a lot of terrible habits didn’t realize this was one – but grape variety is probably the biggest factor in my choice of wine

like you im not a big fan of white wine but love the red stuff especially rioja

viognier (not sure about spelling) is a grape variety sometimes combined with others that imho makes a tasty white

viognier

walk the city walls

hairychested said it all

thread closed ? (til wednesday) 😀

im struggling to find a stockist where i can try em

thanks thats helpful sounds like a pair of size 10s for me

another vote for weber here – big enough for home small enough for camping trips and built to last forever

ah!

any good trails in that neck of the woods?

wells-next-the sea ?

big johns advice is good

hosepipe would be connected to mains so could overflow the tank

op was 4 hrs ago though and airlocks will often disappear by themselves given time

it is possible the cold supplies are tank fed not mains fed

do you have cold water from kitchen sink?

rode the red today – first loop only – second loop not due to open till summer ???
twas a laugh tho

we used to shout “get off and milk” as kids it too!

never really knew why – but it was the 70’s and cowhorn bars were in

anyone know how secure bristol yha is for bike storage? (sorry for hijack but im in a similar dilemma)

i love porridge 😀

but i hate tescos 😥

i usually park in the side streets on the far side of warwick road station
best approached from moss side direction
moss lane west bear right onto kings rd up to junction with warwick rd south and start looking
then follow the crowds under the station underpass past the cricket ground
15 mins walk to glory

come on you reds

stolen from centerparcs?
