F*** the budget

hmmmm Chromag Doctahawk, I really shouldn’t have looked at that

I can’t get another Curtis, had 2 already

Been looking at that one, its on the list

£2.5k all up

Willy, got my Santa Cruz Ltc tallboy up for sale, its a large with 36 fork, slackest, db inline with offset bushes, Full xx1, ZTR Flows on Chris King Hubs, ready to go now if someone can find a use for it.

Mail me on djh at cando4you dot com if anyone interested

Got a 26″ Curtis with slot dropouts frame weight is under 4lb, my 29er version is the first one Brian built and that came with ebb, still only weighs 4.7lb, both all 853, both made for me, as I wanted them, that’s what you pay for, a one off

Scaffold pole from ceiling and hooks over

Diagnosed gluten and wheat intolerant last year, proper careful food management, cook everything from base ingredients and I’ve managed to get my weight up from a very ill 9 stone to 12 stone 9lbs.
Didn’t feel cold at all this past winter, feel much stronger in myself.

Take your time, there are still lots of nice treats available

Lost my wife 2 years ago, when she was alive riding was a great release from the illness in our lives.
Went to Spain last year for a weeks mtb, didn’t enjoy it, ridden one of my mountain bikes probably 10 times since then, use my road bike now and then, life is good now, don’t have anything to ride away from anymore, considering selling all my mountain bikes.

Got some nice stuff if anyone interested?

Jean Todt is current boss of FIA, ex Ferrari team principle, Vettel will get half an hour on the naughty step at the most, total farce, should have a minimum of points deduction, possibly one race ban.

Only happen if he infringes again and gets anther 3 points on his licence

853 Curtis singlespeed, rigid, I have the original first 29er ever made, in the garage.
Maybe I’ll have to take a picture

Original thread

Moved away from where I grew up, couldn’t really say I had many friends at school, regularly suffered bullying, I couldn’t give a toss if I never heard from anyone at school, worst days of my life in hindsight

Trek Domane. Love mine and not so racy

Le Tours at one end of the valley and Les Houches at the other end are easily accessible.
Then you have the Mont Blanc tour which will be a good time too

I got mine from Seven cycles in US. Custom made. Have a look see as they will do whatever sweep you require

We’ve been using quick books for 12 years now, runs on mac or PC, can try before you buy too

BBC website came out unfavourable for Sam to be guvnor. 18% in favour only. He’s gonna be given a sh1t time by the media. Guaranteed

“It’ll go”. Many times said. Often it doesn’t

Discretion should be definitely done on a bike like this. Less is more. Let the bike be the statement not the accoutrements hanging off it

Got a 26″ custom 853 Curtis SS and the first 853 29er Curtis made.
So blooming comfortable for long days out. Wouldn’t sell either of them….. Ever

Bought a set of studio monitors and a digital analogue convertor, sweet sound with real depth, can be hard wired to DAC from PC/Mac or bluetooth, works from TV too.

Used to run this combo. Razor lasted about 2 rides and was cut to shreds. Gone to a trailboss, not one hole at all even after a week in Sierra Nevada

Friend was at Coldplay. She said it was mindblowingly good

Roisin Murphy and Foals on at the same time, pleased I’m at home so can catch both on iplayer

Roy Hodgson is convinced we’ve dominated 3 games, draw 2 win 1 isn’t domination where I come from

Curtis do a downhill hardtail. Now that is slack

Large puffin here in Weston Super Mare. Try before you buy as it needs to fine a new home

Took my hardtail quarterhorse last summer, was a blast on Super Morzine and PDS, went to Chamoniz too, it just got better as the days went on

1. Don’t buy Samuel Windsor, I’ve taken enough pairs apart to know they are one of the shonkiest built shoes available, such poor construction.
2. Buy to what you can afford, there are lots of manufacturers out there making good shoes at a very reasonable price.
3. If you really want leather soles go for a double layered with a welt construction, they are heavier and take longer to break in but if you grit the soles in properly you should get a good few years out of them.
4. Repair them before they are worn out, will cost less and help keep the original shape of the shoe.

It’s Oxford or Gibson style and this is to do with the lacing whether it’s stitched to the vamp or left as two independent flaps.

Brogue is the style of footwear, with the pattern cut into the leather

I went from a Spoon to a C17. Wish I could afford more of them for all my bikes

Scaffold pole with s hooks over the top hanging from roof timbers

Quite simply, awesome, wheel in the middle of sliders, built up 1 X 11, pikes, and King/carbon wheels.
Ridden mine all over the UK, and Alps this summer too, my go to bike

Was found wanting during a day in Calderdale, split 3 times, not impressed, gone to a WTB Trail Boss

Director of multi service business in south west. Been doing it for 30 years, I’m pretty good at it too as I get work sent from all over the planet.
I T numpty though

see below

Howies FTW

Bregante, the Puffin is the most recent, everything else has been bought, and enjoyed, don’t feel like selling them.
Both Curtis still have a special meaning as my now deceased wife helped pay for them, they’re going nowhere

Curtis XC9 is still there, as is the 26 853 SS version, Ritchey Swiss Cross, Kona Honky Tonk and Puffin

Swiss Cross is up for sale though, as is Puffin
