Transit connect is available as a van/car?

Yes it is.

I had a berlingo, original type with the full length electric canvas roof very practical and interesting though always smelled damp.

If i was going to go for a similar one again the ford transit connect would be on my list as would the Honda FRV.

fwiw, one of my rear king hubs is over 8 years old on the original bearings.
cleaned regularly of course.
any 8 year old hub owners out there ? name and shame your manufacturer ……

SRAM 9.0SL Front and Rear Hubs with optional disc carrier, still on original bearings and freehub.

Ikea Stuff has no service gaps down the back so in some cases can be more difficult in regards to the worktops they are lightly larger in depth to allow them to prevent spills down your cupboard doors, washing machines wont stand any prouder than a normal kitchen.

whats spare cash?

Thats a bit of how long is a peice of string question its the same as asking how much is a Car it needs to be quite large….

You can go down the cheap route and change your doors and worktops and sink and it may only cost you a few hundred pound plus fitting. Or you can replace the whole thing which case your probably looking at 1-2k for a cheap one plus fitting.

The site is bloody awful slow to load and waffles on about how innovative a product it is while saying very little about the product they are selling.

The product itself looks like a good idea and there's room to run a battery pack underneath it but it doesn't look that waterproof.

Ive got a modern flat with metal studs so there's nothing to screw into, my solution was to fix a metal plate on the other side of the wall then put 4 screws through from the plate on the TV side to the plate on the other side of the wall. This wont work for everyone, im lucky enough to have a built in wardrobe on the other side of the wall.

I was at duxford yesterday and was stood under the vulcan they have there wondering where the flying one was and now i know.

"hes only a tenor"

Checkout the Rock lobster team tig sl on merlin, suits me just fine at 15st

I would say the most appropriate response would be some sort of critical mass style ride outside his house, if he has problems overtaking 4 cyclists lets see how he gets on with a few hundred clogging up his precious country lanes.

Quick and Dirty (the pics and bike)

My Hubs let the stealth side down too lol

That is cool and ive just realized had i not been such a lazy arse and gone for a ride i could have run into him while he was lost in peterborough lol

God you lot really are bored, i find it amusing when people say it. Not because i find the advert amusing (because i do) but in a you sad bastard kind of way.

Somewhere there is a football stadium missing its lights lol

Ive got to say i was a bit so so about the other trout light but this is serious want :twisted:

Have you got any pics markyd, id be interested to see the finished result especially where the canti bosses were removed.

About time, have they been holding them up because theyre finishing off the hubs? :wink:

Hopster has a point many of the big bike brands including specialized and kona have there manufacturing done by merida.

Thanks for all your advice guys, okay second question is it best to keep this quiet from the dealer?

Ive been using pedros ones for years and they have been excellent

Im interested, tell me more. Are we looking at a % saving if we get so many people?

Dont blame you hadge they were a great proportioned looking car.

I wasnt sneering it was a genuine question, i was hoping a forum know it all would tell me the answer.

103 years and weve only managed an extra 12mph?

There are specific levers for bars dia comp among others do them but you could use avid speed dial levers as i have before and simply adjust the leverage point.

Thomson layback post ordered from chain reaction on sunday….

Has not arrived yet :(

Ive had one of these since i did my training, solid and dependable with a 4 sided grip

Cant say ive ever been a fan of the spokey ones, or the park professional ones ive tried them both and have always gone back to the one in the link above.

Buy the cheapest one you can find with tax and mot, let her drive it for a month and if shes still taken with them then sell it and get a decent one. If shes not then sell it anyway.

(Oh for extra fun sabotage it when shes not looking and your not going to be around to help her out.)

Buy a whirlpool one from IKEA and get a 5 year warrenty. Theres only whirlpool at the moment but theres an electolux range available from them soon.

Love it, like a few other people i got into it by watching the season one weekend virgin 1 had a while back, now ive never missed an episode. Adam Baldwin plays Casey excellently, the perfect straight man.

This looks like a good solution for splitting a bike in half for transport.

I was under the impression that Middleburn were developing an outboard BB crankset.

When? there certainly taking there time over it, there will be a new standard by the time they finish.

Okay thanks, stumpy i just wanted a couple of days away on the extra cheap and thetford is a few hours away on the bike, so 3 days will be too much.

I was under the impression there was quite a bit of unmarked stuff too.

The only other answer is to build your bike to the car have a custom frame built with those separating lugs?

Give the guys at the works service dept a call, as a recall they can pretty much do anything from engine upgrades, shooting brake conversions to full bond conversions on DB5s. Give them a call and ask about carrying bikes and see what they come up with.

Well it wasn’t a problem till i went over to a set of air forks now the back end feels a bit dead and heavy, i dont really want to give up and go back to an aluminum frame so if i can find something a bit lighter that would be great.

So far ive shortlisted-
Pipedream Sirius
Charge Duster
Rock lobster 853
Kinesis Decade Virsa

Shoefiti cant really go any lighter on the tubes and tyres im running.
Hairychested im recovering from a particularly nasty bout of food poisoning so not an issue lol.

We have large covered bike parking within a secure gated car park, showers, changing rooms and lockers are also provided. The ironic thing is i only live 15mins away so mostly i use a juncker try not to ride too fast so i dont need to change.

If your not a complete fashion whore get the standard macbook its just had a spec bump and will do pretty much everything a new unibody one will do. The unibody one is pretty though :twisted:

My current macbook has been going since they came out 3 years i think now, its on its 2nd hd and is currently awaiting a new battery. I had my keyboard and bezel replaced last year Apple honored the warranty even though it finished a year before.
