Considering 160mm forks are being mentioned, where a ride all day bike begins and ends is already in question.

A mega would do a grand job and is a similar style to a pitch (as you mentioned in the OP)

There’s a world of bikes out there, the prophet, five and Reign are all proven steeds, with all day ability and some in reserve for trips to the alps etc.

Rohloff~ reliability x3 (or cubed)

i) damned reliable hub

ii) eliminate drivetrain wear and pay for itself in the process

iii) dishless build makes for a stronger wheel too

To add to the mix, the only time I’ve ever seen a king, it had more play than a pac man arcade cabinet.

Live the dream, fight the nightmare!!

The question is why are they being so harsh?

^ 😀

Took me a while, but I see what you did there, wonder if Chipping Norton is still the place to be

Conspiracy, collusion, call it what you will, but it all boils down to the same thing, manipulation of the truth and misinformation to serve dishonest agendas.

Given the vintage of the shock, replacement would seem to be the better option.

This almost sounds like some kind of conspiracy…

(of course, the public wouldn’t believe that)

/\ 😆

This dude:

They love it, dirty little juice packets, you just have to make sure you don’t rub them too much, or they’ll get over excited and explode in a sticky corrosive mess.

Cougar, you are Edward Snowden and I claim my fighter jet interception, incarceration and 2nd nobel peace prize/ Gary Lineker lookalike badge

Udderly Ridiculous, anyone can see it’s a Mucci

Dilated pupils… that wee fella is still coming down from Glastonbury

Err, my curiosity got the better of me, one significant flaw in the reasoning is surely you’d pay him off to not raise any media attention?

Thats a fair point, however, it could be that by labelling Barry George ‘not innocent enough’ is a means of raising sufficient doubt to lead people to believe he may be guilty but there was simply insufficient evidence to make the charge stick.

I think the moon landing was legit

I have no intention of offending, however, given that Jill Dando had close links to both Cliff Richard and the Royal Family, and both have links to the Elm Guest House scandal, which also has links to Jimmy Savile (Thatcher n all), I certainly think it is information which should be widely available for folk to investigate themselves.

So, why were you…..

Not wanting to give too much away at this stage,

When its “information” that’s easily available to anyone who can google four words

Did you just want to sound important ?

Guided discovery innit… also of such monumental magnitude that better to discover in small chunks than be confronted by a daunting earth shattering asteroid of truth.

What, proving your blatant curiousity?

Get the cousins involved and it’ll all be dreamy, babe

Are you sure though… how do you know these tantalising snippets of monumental scandal which aren’t widely publicized if you don’t have some degree of interest… admit it, you’re curious 😉

Damn, you’re sharp this evening neal!!

Lets not forget the vocation of her fiance…

Aren’t they all ?

You gave the impression that all your previous ones were huge conspiracies.

Maybe I’m just a drama queen 😀 hmm, speaking of queens

Not wanting to give too much away at this stage, but this is a BIGGIE and there are 2 avenues you can pursue…

OK, you know me, there is perhaps more to this than meets the eye…

bonus points if anyone can link this with another story in the news today?

Lidl Mars bars

All fruit ever

Why didn’t they use explosives ?

Maybe the local market had sold out of Casios

Immediately I saw that, it reminded me of this after several years:

and I can see why too!!

I want to know if that horn at the end was from the other side?

At what point within those 74 years does one become a trillionaire?

if I’d lived the life of spanking infinite monies throughout as an international playboy and perhaps even utilizing that power and influence to change the world for the better, I reckon the extra years and inevitable debilitation would be a fair trade off

If however I received the trillions only in my final year, I might vouch for incontinence and infirmity.

You don’t beat around the bush though its not a shock to hear that, bearing in mind I’m fairly new to this, IGUSt work with what I can

They should just freeze the universe and be done with it… the slightest molecular movement has the potential to overthrow everything we hold dear.

What possible harm could come of a man pushing his bike through a sparsely populated shopping centre…

It might be the catalyst to people waking up and realising TV, retail therapy and cars are all bum, leading to the collapse of the consumer led oil economy and unleashing an army of fit and healthy free thinkers.

Next time think of the consequences… 🙄

Thanks for the offer, but I like to work alone~ besides, there might not be enough hearts to go round 😆

I think Ima shoot up a kindergarten

And watch the blood of the innocent rain down

And eat the beating heart of one of them.

It depends what you’ve got… I had Giardiasis in China once and it was NASTY; the cure is indeed antibiotics.

I’ve been to both the US and Vietnam… guess where people are friendlier?

No I believe that those that wish to bring sharia law to the world should die.

You are Melanie Phillips and I claim my IDF tattoo

GCHQ must be pissing themselves right now… everyone fighting amongst themselves rather than addressing the cause of all this nastiness.

Yea the americans were clearly the bad guys.

Definitely not a time to bring up the genocide of native Americans and the subsequent whitewash of popular history then I guess.

Oh, by the way, Bradley Mannings Court Martial is ongoing:

Must be near trolling hour:
