i thought it was some way of controlling rear brake feathering

strange

Harrison Ford on the franchise – what a minuscule part?

I’m disappointed by the lack of disappointment

Seems a lot of folk have their nose out of joint over this

Local businesses (who will have to stay closed), residents who need to get to work etc

Questions being asked over route choice (bottlenecks eg tigh turning left into Toys Lane Colley Gate)

And then the traffic disruption

Loving the orange colour

Shame you couldn’t have routed your rear brake line down the underneath of the DT?

Weight on a steel trails bike is not too important

@ me lazy

Yes RTD – 5 rigid

XL comes up tiny

ton – I’ll post the bike I was expecting to see when I saw your thread:

I enjoyed both bikes a lot. I preferred Stooge’s higher front (which suited my gangly proportions, so normal sized folk mileage will vary)

Both are great bikes, and the Stache is onehellova well made one

Don’t get hung up on short CS’s though. My current is a Jones with 19″ CS’s and it rides very nicely indeed

@ letmetalktomark

Thanks for coming in, and at ~6’3″ myself and more in the body than leg would be interested to see how much seat post you have…?

The Stache 5 (which I have FS ;) ) is much a much lighter bike overall, lower on the front, and more twitchy. I prefer the Stooge

Congrats

29 or 27.5?

I’m going to have to have an orange in 27.5

Come on, let’s see some pics

That orange is a win win

Hmmm, as I’m in no rush to get this wheel built up I might hold out for the Scraper’s to come back in stock, thanks

Great, I’ll go for it

Thanks for the replies :)

Trek’s sizing is a little curious – they give two sizes, one is called virtual, whatever that means

I found the ‘XL’ to come up small for an XL, and really a bit small for me at 6’3″

I’d say if you’re anywhere 5’10” upwards you need xl

PM if interested

Anyone want a XL 5 with 27.5 wheels??

+1 for Celestion Dittons

‘Proper’ Hi-Fi ‘speakers – when Hi-Fi used to be all about the music, not about ‘soundstage’ ‘detail’ and the rest

Dittons are foot tappers, and ‘speakers you can listen to for hours

I had a pair of B&W 802’s for a while – while they could do ‘Hi-Fi’ really well, with the potential for making fireworks, they were boring

Zu Druid

‘Full range’ 10″ dia ‘speakers, along with 101db efficiency means they go house shaking loud with flea power valve amps (my Leben valve amp is ~10wpc)

Very musical sound

Beware though, once you go full range you can never go back to multi-driver ‘speakers as you’ll always hear the separate drivers

Thanks for the comments (all of them :) )

I think TK Maxx has indeed stopped them

I can’y bring myself to buy anything from Sports Direct

I’ll look at HoFraser

Cheers

It’s been said (Lynch IIRC) that ‘Fire Walk With Me’ is critical to understanding the new series

yes

Thanks Si – I have Fuji camera’s. I’ll give them a call

Am also hoping to find an online arrangement where I can send the files and they post back

Is there any way to get it if you’re not on sky?

Thanks for clearing that JT

While you’re on – any nearer a Speedball sizing decision and if they’ll be more than just one size? :)

Quick question – presumably the MK3 is different to the Speedball?

Good tips there Kit, thanks

How are your drives arranged then? I’m presuming you have another drive with your OS etc on, and your 128 SSD is a dedicated drive for LR? And the USB is a dedicated drive for pics/library? And does this arrangement simplify things and make everything run smoother/faster?

Am I near or completely off? (My IT skills are about the same as my biking ones ;) )

Cheers

OK, I’ll stick with what I’ve got then and try the suggestions

It’s recommended 2 gig RAM min and 8 best

Also the 1:1 preview and looking through stuff in the library module, rather than the develop

If it’s quality you want then there are better places to visit.

Where like?

Flickr?

has about 800 ways he communicates with people

lol – all virtual? :)

OK, my post is a fail

I’ll come back when I can take a pic and am able to post it

Have been using imgur, but that seems to have stopped now

an armature’s attempt with Instagram

working on it…
