ta, I’ll try get a pic

If you reckon its asbestos, guess that qualifies as a FML moment 😆

Though was probably 4-5 hours doing it… and last I checked I don’t work in a factory with asbestos everyday

came off in one layer dry, exposing the wall behind which was not particularly damaged

the back [of the stuff that came off] was pink, looked like plaster

thought the fibres might help hold it together in the case of artex…

I’ve scraped it.. wearing a p3 mask.. but was somewhat disturbed by how easily it came off.. hopefully ive not caked the place in asbestos

Norco Threshold from evans looks decent too

Was looking at these wheels, but not sure now..

It seems difficult to get non-shimano road disc caliper without rotors…

If I went shimano br-cx77.. it’d be

£80 ish for 2x calipers
£55 ish for 2x CL rotors 140mm

seems quite a bit considering an Avid BB7 road would be about 100 quid and include the rotors. Maybe I’m splitting hairs or being too tight

Can’t see much in the way of road disc wheelsets for £100-250ish though

The Kinesis CX shimano wheels look just the ticket but not available for awhile

This may be of interest too

Pentax K-5, not much is going to come close for 350 quid (2nd hand), full weather sealed mag alloy body, image stabilisation built into camera

Regarded as many as one of the best aps-c cameras ever made

Salsa Colossal Ti…

frameset 1850

150 left for parts… so start selling stuff 😆

bump, still desperately trying to hold out for this, amidst various other deals flying about

frameset is still same price for pro carbon by the looks of things

so is it a shimano sourcing thing.. ?

also the sram pro carbon is 999

Is it available frame only?

probably not available frame only going by this earlier post…

It’s a Planet X model.
Frameset with forks
Cx clearances.
Lighter than Kaffenback.

0 problems with PX/On-One for me

most expensive item so far for me was some wheels, was very happy with them

Any more news ? 🙂

into IDM/ambient/fringes of drum and bass

cotic escapade
planet X kaffenback
planet X – new alloy disc road on its way
pinnacle pyrolite
salsa vaya (might be at top of budget though) and other salsa

I’ve got my eye on the escapade too

But there’s also a planet X alloy road disc on its way with big clearance and mudguard mounts etc

for the last Q

just fit the Tiagra STIs and make sure you use the Road version of the BB7.

was advice on another thread for a drop bar setup using a tiagra groupset

The Planet X RT-58 looks pretty hard to beat from a lot of angles…

If only it had mudguard eyelets 😆 … for out and out value for money though does anything come close?

8.8KG and Tiagra for 599…

Yes theres lots of things lighter. But to go sub 8/8.5 KG seems to require quite a lot of extra cash

also interested in OPs question…

my mind is also awash with ideas

Look good. Heard freehub is too soft and wears badly. Don’t know if that’s true of all samples though.

theres also the genesis,rose and cannondale disk road bikes

Max out an ISA (put 5760 into it, or whatever it is atm)

set aside at least 25k of it for house/flat deposit

25k… thats a 10% desposit on a 200k house + legal fees sorted

5k do stuff with.. travel, bike etc, save some perhaps

Your downloaded file may be corrupt

You can check the file you downloaded with an md5sum tool against the sum provided on the download site

/usr/sbin/lspci | egrep -i “(wire|net)”

try that

failing that type

which lspci

and it’ll tell you path to it (I’ve guessed the path to be /usr/sbin/).. assuming its installed.. I’d be surprised/horrified if it wasn’t

boot it, open a terminal

type

lspci | egrep -i “(wire|net)”

what does that say..

dunno.. there’s a lot of good deals at that mark

I might throw these into the mix

ribble 365
kinesis tk2
Pinnacle Dolomite Five

Was it primed, sanded an amount to key in?

How many coats of eggshell? Was the paint bubbly/was it mixed?

Although it might seem a PITA, that doesn’t look like it’ll take a huge amount of effort to fix

If you get oil based paint on your skin, it doesn’t wash off particularly well with just water (and you normally clean the brushes with white spirit after oil based paint)… given that I would of thought it might take quite a lot of moisture to affect it..

is the temperature fluctuating much?

Ah thanks for the info

I’ve been to northern croatia which was pretty awesome… which is why I was thinking of going to Montenegro or possibly some other part of the Balkans

someone on ‘ere must of been to this country or through it?

What you seeing in /var/log/messages

or /var/log/syslog

and /var/log/Xorg.log

(yes, I’ve been struggling with Optimus)

The one time I encountered Optimus.. I thought I don’t have time for this… and disabled it in the BIOS

Not the most helpful comment I know…

Oh god you’re using bumblebee,

And this was my reaction too 😆

What card you got? Nvidia/ATI/Intel?

lspci | grep -i VGA

ATI is a PITA
As above Nvidia much better for Linux

What does this command show at the moment?

glxinfo | grep rendering

Opengl is just the framework/spec IIRC and there are different implementations of that…

This might help… Ubuntu/Unity was too horrific for me.. and also I found myself needing to learn Red Hat based distros

+1 vredestein fortezza tricomp

Ah cool

Will watch with interest to see what approx weight comes in at…

Bloody bargain. But I still like the RT-57 with the non-compact chainset, nice Shimano wheels and classier frame. Is that really worth £200 extra though?

Dunno, but with a bike this light in the UK, do you need a triple?

yes would be interested to know a vague price or actual of course 😆

will it take a non-eyelet guard without too much hassle?

Ah cheers. Might as well fire off some questions 😆

Is it a Planet X branded bike? and will it be available with and without forks?

Presumably its going to come in lighter than the Kaffenback

was thinking of Kotor and Durmitor in particular

I’m having 2nd thoughts about building a different frame, the only difference it’ll make is weight or gaining discs. The brakes are pants so tiagra or disc will improve things

Guessing the current frame/fork come in at at least 2.5kg, kona/steel

I bought a load of tiagra parts from ribble a while ago on offer

I’ve got some half decent wheels already
