I dress up in her underwear and call myself Mary.

This is a really sad thread. That people’s lives can be decided on a relatively small budget decision is so wrong. I hope you both gt the resolution you deserve.

Modern cars Flashy 😉

Horse meat has been used for ages in a lot of continental sausages. Usually at the cheape end of the market.

Anyone eaten dog?

Yes, I felt ‘woof’ as hell afterwards.

Not been down cornwallis street since 6th form college socials. Revolving dancefloors and all. They were the days!?

Ha ha! College socials at Martini’s, I remember them well.

Biketreks also used to do a Sunday ride from the shop (Ambleside), don’t know if they still do them.

People buy a Dogma for exclusivity, they don’t want a similar bike sold through the local car engine oil retailer.
So, it’s brand bought by pretentious idiots who don’t really care about bikes then?

In a lot of cases, yes it is. That’s the point I was making. I think a lot of people on this thread are confusing pretensions for opinion. I don’t care if Pinarello are sold through the local Asda, but a lot of their customers do. If you remove the exclusivity or status of owning a Pinarello, perceived or otherwise, they are just another bike manufacturer with a high price and poor spec. Imagine Louis Vuitton being sold through Lidl, do you think you’d still have WAGS and wannabes lining up to have exactly the same bag as every other WAG or wannabe?

Are Yellow still distributing Pinarello then? I wonder if this is going to be like the Kona and GT Halfords deals where they offer different models to those sod via IBD’s.

Not been for a few years, but the Morrison Hotel was very good, and well located.

You are correct. I’ve just removed my Gusset EX24 BB from my Kona with a 73mm shell, it is as smooth as the day I put it in, despite the huge pool of water which was sitting in my bottom bucket shell, So I guess the seals o the tube work fine.

‘Andys Records’?
Bloody hell, I remember them

I also remember them being awful, even back in the day.

We won the Music Week ‘Best Independant’ award 6 years running, can’t have been that ‘awful’. Would love to know why you thought we were. 🙂

No doubt, but how much damage will it do to the brand long term. People buy a Dogma for exclusivity, they don’t want a similar bike sold through the local car engine oil retailer.

That’s a great idea Pinarello!

Said no one, ever.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Debenhams. Far too many sales/offers all the time

POSTED 11 HOURS AGO #

Nope, Debenhams are doing well, their strongest performance in some time.

There is a DW fitness by the DDH, maybe try there. If not, you can get a good workout fighting with the locals down Cornwallis street on a Friday night 🙂

Wallaby’s have been seen in the wild in South Cumbria as well.

Is it undamaged? That is an amazing bit of packing.

I hope not. They will close Fopps too. No

It’s just Fopp.

Just about to reluctantly sell my wife’s 9-3 turbo diesel. 140,000 relatively trouble free miles on the clock. the biggest bill in the last three years was £500 for an alternator, a week after mine went in my Volvo. Ouch! It’s quite a nippy car as well, much better acceleration than my 2.0l V50.

Thanks! Been meaning o get one for a while now.

XT Front mech arrived today. I moaned a couple of pages back about them not informing me it was originally out of stock. Well apparently it had pointed out a delivery delay when I put the mech in my shopping basket, but I hadn’t noticed 😳 Evans had the good grace to upgrade my delivery to ensure I got the mech in time for the weekend after it arrived with them from the supplier.

So to counteract Hora’s constant whining about Evans, they get a big thumbs up from me.

FFS, I didn’t mind the wait for my order, but they’ve only jus let me know they are out of stok of the main part of the order, the front mech.

Some comedy side burns.

The

ps it’s Armitstead! She really does get p155ed off when people miss out the ‘t

The ‘a’ was missing as well, I’m blamin he iPad for this one!

I’m interested but price will be the deciding factor for me. Reverbs are now available at a price where I would struggle to justify paying much extra for a dropper post.

I thought it was amazing. The Olympics isn’t about the money, and it should never be.

It’s about my three year old son watching the sport, turning to me, and saying “I’m going to do that Daddy”. And then setting up a steeplechase course from cushions, belting up and down the living room practising his ‘running skills’.

If even a handful of kids do that and then go on to replicate, and surpass, the achievements of this summer, then it’s been a success.

This. My four year old daughter pretends to be Lizzie Armisted when she goes out on her bike after we went to watch the women’s road race ( she also pretends to be Mark Cavendish’s ‘wife’, which I’m less enamoured with). One of the objectives of the games was to “inspire a generation”‘ it’s one of the main reasons London won the bid. How can that be a bad thing? It’s too early to measure ROI but as someone who visited the games, you will never be able to measure the feel good factor and optimism of everyone I encountered over the weekend we were there. And were the games elitist? The road race for instance, apart from Box Hill and the start/finish you could stand anywhere on the course and watch for free. We watched the men’s road race leave and return through Putney and people from all walks of life littered the course, happy to be part of the Olympics. Of course if you stubbornly refused to watch any of it, you would have missed this, but then you are hardly qualified to comment on the Olympics from an objective perspective.

Fantastic film, shit, I wish I didn’t have kids and was able to sleep past 7am.

I’ve never been as wet on a bike as I was last week riding Penmachno. Seriously good fun though.

Sales Initiative magazine has a CRM feature in the January issue, looking at several CRM systems at different price points. It includes both SalesForce.com and Dynamics along with other systems. It will be out at the end of Jan if you want me to send you a copy?

Yes, pics!

Ta very much, XT mech and USE shim purchased.

Just read the Pinkbike article, seeing Sam Hill race the BDS will be pretty cool!

Nice sentiment that. Looking forward to seeing Sam on CRC/Nukeproof this season.

I’ve decided I don’t really need another bike so I’m selling my Large Enduro SL frame I bought on the back of this thread. I’ve not even built it up yet so its brand new and unused. It comes with a Hope headset and new Truvativ Stylo S40 seatpost and unused Truvativ AKA 60mm stem. Let me know if you are interested.

I rode some trails around Barca years ago when I was staying with my girlfriend over there. They were ok but I wouldn’t fly my bike out for them. My guide was my GF’s brother and I don’t think he was the most knowledgeable of the area though.

Yep. Ordered a set of grips last Monday, dispatched today. In their defence they were less than 1/2 price and I am in no rush. It was a little tardy though.

Hi Stumpydemo, I may well be interested. Can you email me some details please? Address in profile.
