just saying what i read…..

this will probably go some way to explaining why most of the bikehuts are shutting and the staff being laid off….

these 2 depends on what size for the special offer felt 😆

hope ones? 😉

seperate pans?! and just seal the fillet before putting in the oven to get the desired color/firmness…simples!

i saw the evoc one at the recent bike show and it was very cool….£250 and weighed 7kilos…took road or even a dh bike.ive got them coming in at some point

panfried scallops with a balsamic reduction and a nice salad to start(get them really fresh!)

id concur with beef,if wellingtons a bit complex do fillet steak panfried then finished in the oven and roast veg with a red wine reduction gravy

buy a dessert….like gu choc pots…oh and get a good bottle of wine(spend over a tenner)

good luck!

hes related to god,surely hed be able to work out a microwave?

sorry called the importer and your right they used to be handmade,now theyre all made in the far east.except the tubs are still handstitched! 😉

the vredsteins are marvelous…handmade also which i think does make a difference.ive been riding all winter on fiamante duo comps and not had a puncture…very grippy and hard wearing….
simples….

this? brill light…ive got two on my commuter 8)

more just a bed but lovely all the same…..in my gf's folks garden..http://www.cottageguide.co.uk/lindsaylodge/

we sell tons of it and its growing with us…i see very few warranty things really but when we do get it endura are great and either replace or repair.

their aftersales is pretty good on the whole(speaking as a dealer)if your lbs isnt looking after you go to another! (me?! :lol:)

all the reviews i read seem to be very complimentary…
i do a bit of dakine stuff which seems very well made but a bit too "lifestylee" for your average rider…endura does crossover well.

what other brands are there out their to compete? ( i dropped altura before you say!)

thanks for the kind words gordon! 😆

theirs a quote being done right now hilldodger!

many thanks

chris

try me…ask for joe.were a tech shop! we'll be competitive with pricing:lol:

the new lezyne one is really nice…http://www.lezyne.com/index.php/products/bags-packs/micro-caddy-s-1.html and ive got some coming in this week! 😆

bike looks sweet denis! good job 😆

we charge £25 but if you buy a bike(any bike) ill refund it.simples!

they do cost even a smallish shop a fair bit to run a demo fleet….but if i got a even a slight wiff that you were what you are ie a tyre kicker..id be very strict with the charge..on the other hand i have waived it…like most things it hinges on customers attitude! 😆

ive got a mate whos proper trying to be someat else….he come into a lot of cash recently and is slowly morphing into a country laird…shooting/dubarry boots/stags head in his dundee flat/range rover vogue…this is a guy who used to be a laff! he still snowboards but i can see that kit clashing with all the tweed…

very interesting though watching him lose his grip… 🙄

yep id agree,go to the next spesh dealer…..give em a chance before you hit the return button on the pc… 😆

how you getting on? any closer in getting open? 😆

ive just built a real sweet intense tracer that would be a good bet! or i concur with the orange 5 idea… 😆

yep wrong forum metcalf…your not welcome with your road bike ways! 🙄

ive got one and its great! i got it to replace a much loved event jacket thats had its day..
the only criticism is the lycra inner sleeve thingies…theyre a bit annoying…but very waterproof and warm

id sell that in the shop for around 600ish…depends on the nick

were £16 each end….if youve ever tried to bleed avids you'd understand the price…hopes are a doddle! 😆 thats new fluid though!

the chorus shorts pretty good too….http://www.cycle-world.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b146s147p8218

dont look back only forward….and go,its sounds great! 😆

ooh! that is very cool…im a porsche man but that is very nice!

go for an iphone…if nothing else it'll give you loads of subject matter for the forum! 😆

whys it always the decent good guys that have to leave us? ive onyl lost a few people i know who were close to me but ive heard and met a lot of folk who've lost really decent people….seems very wrong!

condolences to the family and his mates…..

theyre not available yet that'll be why…i think theyre due in the next month (were a dealer and have them on order)
