It weighs 23 lb by my scales, sounds about right :o

Thats a Medium they are quite small, i’m 5′ 7″ and it’s perfect.

I’ll weigh it later, i got to take my son to Karate now :roll:

The cable routing is the best way i think, i tried about 37 ways, i think the stops are too close to the headtube. If it goes the other side of the stem the bends are really sharp.

It’s a PZ racing cage and it is on right, thats the kitchen extension the double garage is next to it out the picture.

Saddle is spot on just the drive slopes up :roll:

Mega :D going out on it tommorow, been wanting one for ages, i think i prefer hardtails myself.
I sold my Scott Spark frame to get one.

I just got up after a night shift, i wear ear plugs and wouldn’t be able to sleep without them.
I generally only get 4-5 hrs sleep total on a good day 8O

You now it makes sense :D

Although a 3k road bike is a lot of bike. I’d go for something classic like a Colnago master or a handbuilt steel, then it won’t be out of date in 2 weeks :roll:

Buy a guitar, leave it close to hand, whenever bored pick it up and knock out a riff :D

She’ll be surrounded by lots of men in lycra :roll:

If i was you i’d do open it’s more laid back, masters is very fast :o

4 string here and i’m only learning, i got an Ibanez GSR 200. I’d say get to grips with 4 before tackling 5.
I’m sure most music can be played on 4 anyway.

She knows she’s deppresed she thinks moving will help, but she and my son know nobody where she wants to go.
Her main family and parents are 40 miles in the other direction!! so she’ll be 80 miles from them. Her mom and dad are both ill too.
I work nights at present so it’s difficult for me to have him mid week.

Just read that mothers maternity leave is to be reduced to 6 mths and fathers increased and they get the extra money.

Fathers currently get 2 weeks which is shocking.

I have a court order but till 6pm on the Sunday night, Sunday over night and the school run was by mutual consent.

I just looked at it.

She’s angry at the world and everyone, she told me last night i’m the only one that understands her :roll:

Don’t see how i can stop her. I do have money, and if i thought i could get residency i’d try, anyone done this?

Thanks for the support, i do feel that fathers are very overlooked in these sorts of cases.
However i have no answers.
40 miles is an awful long way to a 6yr old, i will not be able to have him on the Sunday night and take him to school.
Therefore i lose a night with him, one night is a lot to me and my son.

I need to see what occurs, and get legal advice.

Best thread title ever, not as big as mine though :roll:

Merlin loveliness, considering a Campagnolo Record groupset, oh then i’ll need new wheels…..

Yes sure, i’d like one myself with all that chrominess going on.

I used to race bikes like it 20 yrs ago, it’ll make you go faster anyway cus it’s a Colnago, the extra pound won’t matter :D

Buy a proper one, mine is really good should last a while, was only £60.

Don’t know how i managed without it now 8)

Cheers folks, quietish would be nice really and maybe high up for a view :roll:

Cheers guys, i feel better already, i been strumming Kaiser songs too.

And am going to Butlins tomorow on an adult weekend :lol:

No some bits of me are really hard 8O

Rad to the power of sick :lol:

He’s super funny.

It’s now stopped snowing here and only now has my step daughter been sent home :roll:

Don’t get it, it’s only 2″ of snow.

2 inches in Cannock, just took my son to school.

Going back to bed now :D

Doing this myself, staying in Mayfair, so by the Palace. Don’t fancy Madam Tussaurds my 6 yr old son would be bored.

Going to go on Thames cruise and Natural History museum.

Not going shopping!! Is th Tower of London any good?

Suggestions please, sorry to hijack.

Snowing in Cannock!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi i been playing for just over a year now, and at 39yrs old it’s a struggle, but i stuck with it and can now play some funky tunes.

I made the mistake of trying to run before i could walk, and had to backtrack, LEARN SIMPLE MAJOR CHORDS FIRST, i tried the barre chord route to start and got in a muddle.

By learning open major chords you’ll be knocking out easy tunes in no time.

Electro acoustic guitars are a good compromise, i got a Crafter FX55O EQ and love it.

Can you only be handed drinks in an official place usually? the pits?

I got my brother coming too.

Oh, but this drink thing is a worry, an hour full on is tough without a drink, if it rains i can drink that 8O

Then pic of this is in the ‘forgot new bike pic!!’ thread.

This is in the process of being built, please feel free to dis my garage…

Was going to go down if i can get my new bike built, i have never raced there before, it sounds good.

I turn 40 in April so i’ll be a vet too, i think the race starts earlier so thats a bonus!!

Seems i have the old bigger 6mm hose, might need new brakes……

Or i can fashion some new brackets.

Thanks for your replies.
