Just got back – knackered! Main bits are well drained but pretty boggy off piste – resulting in a few over the bar moments!

Cheers Johni, pretty much made my mind up to have a blast out there anyway!

errr. man-minge

That is f***ing nasty, frigging a cat FFS

My parents did this about ten years ago with a family friend. No estate agents needed but would defo involve a solicitor just to be on the safe side

If you look at v10’s link it says ‘the most common items decorated are shown in our retail price list’ I clicked on it expecting bike frame etc etc. Nope. Shotguns, Rifles, Handguns, and Bows. Good ‘ol US of A

Lol at the camel and the chicken dog!

Thanks fo the info, doesn’t sound too much of a hassle then

Ta

I feel your pain. No matter how many miles I put in, I’m gwetting fitter, but I’m sure the belly is growing!

Thanks for that Stoner but will have to see if he would deliver to Manchester, as it only mentions local pick up. Had a look on London FGSS, but nobody wants to post up here

Cheers spev will look into that also

good call, forgot about them. After just a rear if poss, and on one only do pairs, but may go down that route anyway.

try and milk him for details then firestarter and the STW lynch mob can descend

Cool, I’ll dig out your email and give you a shout later tonight.

Best bet is someone who has given up on ebay, just search for weight equipment near where you live. Otherwise bench, dumbells and some extra plates are £80ish from argos. Thats all you need.

Man up and use free weights – they are gimmickless but by far the best.

Mr Trout, I think I expressed interest but was peppered at the time! If there is going to be a 2nd production run let me know please. Chars

Joe

Freshen up, freshen up, freshen up for the punani

ARrrrrggggh!!!!

Thriller album

Exactly the same protection through paypal that you would have if they were more established *I think*

I have just started selling on the bay and have zero feedback at the moment – obviously I know I’m honest but others don’t. I guess it is somewhat moreof a gamble than someone with a track record. My solution was to offer cash on collection, that way I can’t take your money and run. If the seller is offering this option and you are worried (and close enough) perhaps pick up?

I had shinsplints and am praying they don’t return. No idea if your shoes are the issue, but I found the only cure was prolonged rest.

takisawa2 – you are a hero

Thanks guys, already stripped the threads on one set of cranks. I figured I needed a thin walled socket – anyone know where they sell them? Trial and error is out as I have already failed 3 times and it’s getting boring!

I bought a wheel off ton unseen the other day. It was a bargain, arrived the next day, and was literally like new. This time he might have got it a bit wrong, but I doubt it was intentional.

Well I’ll see if they go for it, he works from home most days so could be an added complication! Strangely my mum’s boss was all for me getting a bike on her scheme. Guess it depends how anal the people running the scheme are

Bonus, cheers guys. Looks like dad’s getting himself a shiny new bike. That I may borrow on occasion.

MY EYES MY EYES

Do you scoot that one? Looks like a zero speed to me

That Jackie lee has a head like an ugly farmer. Thumbs up for emilia fahlin tho!

nice!

I worked in a butchers shop when I was younger, and loved it. You quickly acclimatise to the blood and guts aspect until you don’t even notice it.

Just ordered one from wiggle. Tried a 1/4 14mm and a 3/8 15mm both to no avail!

Cheers JoB, for some reason my toolkit comes with a crank puller, but not the bit to undo the nut. Which is a pain. LBS tomorrow then.

Garmin edge 605 /705

Definitely going to need some of them ‘covered in mud’ photos 🙂

Me posh and wasted:

Only cycling related one I have I am only wearing a helmet. You don’t want to see that.

Bad idea

Ok cheers, I’ll get on it tommorrow

Ah cheers grumm, does it come with end plugs as mine have had it?

Good: stiffened up front end considerably.
Bad: have to tighten rear after every ride (sometimes during, although this could be that mine is just b*ggered.
