No, £199 straight form the Buy Direct Ebay store

Buy Direct

I have seen Timberland boots in the Covent Garden store too….

Cheer guys – looks like I made the right choice – it’s sitting under my desk right now, cant wait to plug it in. Bloody bargain @ £199 too!

It has. If you’re quite into your hifi why the hell would you want to use a PC as the source, unless you’ve got a £500+ sound card and all your music is uncompressed

Not quite £500 but its getting there a top end studio card would be pointless in my setup as I am running to an external DAC (Naim).

From my tests nothing really competes to a well put together PC as a digital source for the front end of a Hifi. I put my up against a Nain Unitiserve (£2k audio streamer/ripper) and it sounded better to everyone including the shop owner. I was surprised myself as I had convinced myself I wanted the Unitiserve.

iphone is the only one I would call simple. Even my mum can use them!

Sounds a bit geeky but I am quite into my hifi and windows does a better job than macs. (I am sure that will cause an argument….)

I just felt I have been paying through the teeth for Mac stuff with no advantage and having to live with the draw backs – though I do dislike anything pre Win 7.

Also
Acer 1.2tb WHS £200
Mini mac Snow Leopard Server 1tb £880

We already have a mac’s – I am better off with a PC!

Well…other than store, backup and *serve* media – I have no idea what other facilities it can do, or what I would want it to do.

LightsOut sounds like a good plan indeed! – cheers

American Classic’s

I use this…its a portable app too – no install required

Grow your own sourdough yeast! Seriously tasty.

Last few weeks I have just swtiched to sammy slick, they seem decent so far, 200miles and no sign of wear and just fine offroad. Puncture strip too. They are slicker than they look in the pic too. Light and fast

Unless there is a disaster, I’ll be a repeat customer n these.

Oktoberfest – just had mine there – best weekend I have ever had.

If money is no object you want to get them built up with SAPIM CX-Rays. Amazing spokes

Personally I prefeer the passive kind, some of which work better than active, I currently use Etymotic HF2 with custom mould, the world just goes away when you wear them. Amazing.

It’s genius I have made over £400 so far.

Yes you can log in from different places, but not necessarily at the same time. Though on the iphone if you enable offline mode would can listen to downloaded tracks on your phone and stream on a pc at the same time.

You also get better sound quality and the ability to use a sonos if that concerns your.

Worth it? To me yes absolutely.

Cheers guys – great list.

So those who are not educated are worth less?

If I am hiring someone for a £40 – £50k position on my team. I will rarely interview unless they have a degree. There is a lot of choice on the job market.

The debt’s written off after 25 years, isn’t it? Run up the max and live with a slightly reduced income (x% of what you earn that’s over £y) until you’re 46.

Choose a course with good prospects and get a decent paying job. Hold hold back go for the max

OK I paid a lot less, but it would have been well worth it and easily paid off once in proper employment.

Langster steel?

Can you guys really feel flex in your stems

I have never noticed flex in a stem, but I have noticed a stem being stiffer than another….

I have researched this a lot and found no viable alternatives…

Good job well worth it

I have a clutch hub, made my true percion in california, the instant engagement is just awesome, same as riding fixed.

Not sure what King use but if its the same kind of setup, go for ir.

Speak to Steve at Wheelroom – very helpful guy.

I have had a set – no probs at all.

I just had these made for Specialized SS – they are awesome! 30miles a day commuting – no worries. Light and strong.

Royce track 120mm rear silver
Royce ultralight front silver
Cadence aero black f28 28r
Sapim cx ray silver
Nipples (alu front brass rear)
Rim tape

I must say the only issue I have with Russia/China is the hassle & cost if the frame breaks…I am sure the quality will be fine, but frames do occasionally go wrong.

Hmmm decisions!

A friend of mine went from an over weight truck driver to a rapid road rider in 9 months – I rode the London to Paris with him an he kicked my ass!

Cheers guys – great feedback, just what I wanted to see.

Borough Market – but not on a Saturday Afternoon.
The kids always love Camden Market.

You need a solicitor – its likely their insurance company will put you in touch with an independent one.

I recently used Irwin Michell – great service.

Luckily I was just cruising down the street! I managed to keep it under control when it went.

Specialized said ‘yes we have seen this bore with the cheap cranks!’

Not sure how much of a fuss to kick up as I am going to replace them with something much better. They have done 7000miles.

I have a 2009 Kona Major Jake 56cm up for sale. About 250 road mile on it…as I switched back to my singlespeed.

The specialized site said 120mm…is this normal? Didn't know that spacing existed.

Other than beach crusiers and BMXs, I bought my first singlespeed mtb about 10 years ago when my girlfriend started riding so she could keep up with me. My god it was the best riding decision I have ever made, I absolutely love riding them now and only own one geared bike which is for sale as I never ride it. (Bought it last year since everyone gives me crap for riding SS).

I cannot explain why I like it so much, the simplicity, not even having to think about gears – crunches and slips, a directness you don't get with gears. For me it's just awesome, I never seem to be behind the geared riders and I even happily did the Southdowns in 2 days last weekend on one no worries.

Yes I ride with discs and suspension.

The one and only time I have struggled was a 120 miles one day trip on a SS road bike.

I am very curious to try a internal hub though.

DMR revolver is the best budget hub I have used.
