Will the Health Sec sack the person in charge as in the baby P case I wonder?

Pick it up, put it in a plastic bag and hang it on a branch next to the trail

.. the crap or the dog?

I’m very attached to my helmet!
;-))

Pity about the cricket team.
🙂

Good pics.

merino socks work for me.

Sorry to be a pedant nickc. 🙂

Whatever happened to Hugh Reed and the Velvet Underpants?

It’s Jane not Jean surely?

Hence … Sweet Jane.
😉

Still going, my god!

KINGTUT, you didn’t read the thread now did you? 😉

Same as TJ. I use an unramped Blackspire DH ring from CRC and the chain has never come off.

A medium PA would be spot on I reckon, especially if you are running gears. Mike is a great guy to deal with too. I don’t think there were alot of the first batch of Love/Hates made (maybe 100 or so) and they don’t seem to come up 2nd hand too often. Might be worth asking on the classifieds though.

I had a large orange one like cheesyfeet’s above, sold it and regretted it ever since.

New one’s are in ivory or orange.

They sold out ages ago I’m afraid.

New batch is coming late June/July (see the news section on the dialled bikes site).

The new one is singlespeed only. Mine is ordered.
🙂

I had a Middleburn spider shatter on me too but it wouldn’t put me off buying them again, the cost did that. 😉

I used to have an uno too and it was fine, did the job but tbh I had it ‘cos it looked good.

Is that singlespeedstu’s new bike?
😉

Druidh – That was a classic. I seem to remember it was the Alpine Bikes shop in Tiso’s in Inverness.

There must be a shortage of students, one college couldn’t find enough to fill their quiz show team.
😉

TJ It’s the same with the Highway code, how many of us read it after we’ve passed the test?

I’m thinking of having it tattooed on my arse, or maybe just printed on my cycling shorts. It would be the only way that some drivers will ever see it again.
🙁

Why is that a LOL?

My guess it’s the old chestnut of ‘Global warming’ being interpreted as the weather universally getting hotter.

Lets call it climate change dear boy!

Clink on where it says ‘yesterday’ in my post above and it should take you to the thread.
😉

I asked a similar question yesterday.

If you are anywhere near Glentress, The Hub have them as hire bikes.

I can recommend Ffordes as being helpful and not too pricey.

You’re right, they do seem needlessly complex.

I wonder if we would get good impartial advice in a shop like carphonewarehouse or will we get pushed towards whatever they get most commission from?

Thanks folks, lots of good thoughts there.

Druidh – that looks worth investigating.

She is pretty responsible, just forgetful sometimes. She had a decent mobile but it broke and she’s using an old handset we had lying around. She has her ‘image’ to think of!!

These do the job just fine.

Is that the frame you were riding when I met you on the Innocent Railway many moons ago?
😉

Are those Mary bars?

😉

I didn’t think people like you existed

I have an Audiolab 8000A you can have for £100 posted.
😉

They are absolutely brilliant!
😉

Nicer than the red too imho.

I think you lose half a point for having some formatting in the rant. However best one for a while.
😉

Maybe they’ll go for Tony Adams?
😉

Maybe not.

Would Martin O’Neill be tempted by the Russian’s roubles? I hope not.

They are £150 F&R posted on ebay from Merlin. Doesn’t say if they are made up or not but I suspect they are.

One ratio idea wouldn’t account for chain wear though.

I guess it must be a geared bike that was hacked. Maybe the owner had a an eno hub.

It’s interesting to see what some nutters pay for old tat.

D40 and D60 don’t have the onboard lens motor so can only do AF with AF lenses with a built in motor.

They’ll probably just use the money that the Chief Exec was going to get as a bonus.
