Over the years I’ve probably listened to The Bootleg Series, Volume 4: Live 1966: The “Royal Albert Hall” Concert most.

If it wasn’t a headbutt, what was it?

accu, where did you take that pic? Looks nice.

Just spunked 150 quid on a 105 drivetrain minus the cranks, can’t be bad.

Ardent 2.4 front and Beaver rear on my swift suit me sir all year round.

theflatboy – should have said I live in the US so was internal postage. A good company to deal with though.

Hi, I’ve been following your story for the last couple of days – I’m so glad your little one seems to be doing better, as has been noted they are strong little buggers. By recognising how sick he was and getting him to the hossie you saved him, kudos to you my man.

Sleep is good, gives the body and mind time to reboot..

My thoughts are with you, I’ll keep looking out for your updates…

Dave

theflatboy – I used velomine for my last set of road wheels, a23s on Ultegra hubs with dt champion spokes, they’ve been perfect so far (9 months) very good vfm, a trustworthy company.

Various incarnations of the trusty Pompino

…in current guise

I did it, albeit at 30. Those on my course where a mixed bag of ages, from straight out of school, to old fuddy-duddies. I’ve never regretted it, been qualified 6 years now and like the job most of the time. I don’t think id do anything else now. There are many paths to take in nursing that there are careers within a career.

It’s hard, satisfying work but worth it at the end of the day.

Any questions just ask.

warpcow – like that pomp

True, it may be time for a frame change.

With a wife with post-natal depression, a new baby, household chores and freezing weather my cycling action has consisted of runs to the shops. I am itching to get back into the commuting routine with the occasional mtb explosion. Roll on warmer, sunnier weather……

Smartphone with internet access, a couple of magazines and some snacks…..

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep on saying it – they are the best value brakes in the world, ever…

Plenty of time to brush up on the photography skills then…

Seriously though, nice setup.

I’ve had Schwalbe Durano 25s on for a year of commuting and (touch wood) not one pu”@&ure yet.

Just to add to reports, my Swift EBB has been faultless.

Have 29er version on back of a SS, very grippy, minimal slippage when out of saddle, not the fastest rolling however I suppose it’s not intended to be. Would heartedly recommend.

32 hole would be sufficient.

You could use a regular hub (non-SS specific), easier and cheaper to experiment with gear ratios until you find what you like.

Shop around for the light 29er wheels. (merlin, crc, stw)

Crank length depends on many factors, height, inseam, whether you like to spin.

Shimano deore cranksets are great vfm, even 2nd hand.

Welcome to the obsession of bike building….

Every single person in that film irritates me intensely…..

Had a Beer components eccentric (which I had to return as it didn’t fit my CAAD10), it was very well engineered and appeared to be a high quality bit of kit.

They do BB30 and PF30 versions.

Quinns on Edge Lane gets my vote, very knowledgeable staff, won’t rip you off.

Agreed, the most consistently great player last year.

No Hearts player will ever win the Balon d’Or,

Merry Christmas to you all, safe journey seadog.

I know, it was very weird, I was dreaming about smoke, I’m usually completely out of it until my alarm goes off…

Thanks for the info wysiwyg.

lol, busted.

Its a 4s, my wife has the same phone, although I’m not sure she’d be keen on my tinkering. Batteries seem to be pretty reasonably priced on Amazo.

wysiwyg, I’m across the pond in NY so posting is possible, but could be a pita for you. Would buying a couple of spares on tinternet and having a go myself be feasible? I have virtually no electrical skills.

Deore.

Used to ride/work round there – extremely dangerous roundabout, RIP to all those killed. If ever there was justification for separated bike lanes it’s here.

No probs, just drop me an email….

If you wanted to ship them to me in NY, I’ll take them to the post office and pop them in a baggie for you, it’s just down the road.

You can Email me at davidsmith3000 at gmail dot com if you like.

If I were to put a stereophonic system in my wife’s Norwegian wood cabinet I Would be banished to shed seven, which would be unfair as it’s my perogative.

Very nice indeed, how do you find the centaur?

Do you have pic of the setup?

I have an unsightly ’emu’ type neck, what exercises (nexercises?) could I do to produce a thick muscular American football type jobbie?

dog has = dog’s

After messing around with bagless jobbies and cheapo bagged I finally splashed the cash on a Meile. Now, whilst hoovering, I find myself repeatedly thinkning;

“this just oozes quality”

They are solid, well designed items that will last for years – buy cheap, buy twice. Yes.

I’d have to buy campag wheels; one, I don’t have the money and two the spoke pattern gives me the willies.
