All good advice 👍 I’ve lived here 30 years, and stewartc of this parish is another old hand. Mui Wo park is a laugh if you’re looking to ride, Jacky at Friendly bike shop is a dude. YouTube gweilo mtb, my pals, give you an idea.

let me know, I’m sure we can arrange something

Greatest is impossible to pinpoint, so many variables – value ? ride quality ? looks ?

that said, my 456ti evo with the tapered head tube is still my favourite and still ridden

I don’t think actual age is the key factor. Lifestyle and life changes,  more non bike time ? I changed jobs at 53 and couldn’t commute any longer, and don’t get nearly as many miles. If I was still commuting I think I’d be still as fit ? (58 now)

Bohemian Rhapsody ?

Rod Stewart – Young Turks

Yeah, sorry hadn’t considered that 😊

I’ve often thought that band logos would be cool 😎 for example the classic Motörhead’s motif or Iron Maiden ?

I used to commute through the country park to HK airport. Got chased 40 metres by a king cobra 😳 it was not big but recently hatched and hungry. I don’t like snakes!

As above would drive me mad but since it’s a serious question ..
Mike Olfield Tubular Bells
possibly

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread 🙏 Easter weekend listening will be great 👍

Thank you all ! Baker yes. Downey I can’t get past ! Wow 😎

All the above are wonderful suggestions 🙏 perhaps my Lizzy fascination is blinding me.

Joyce ! Good call 👍 neil Peart yup !

‘Crap music you love’ …
Whitesnake .. any tune they did

I know Sting is a premier league twunt but Ghosts in the Machine and Synchronicity sound great

Thin Lizzy. Reading 1976 or Hammersmith 1978.

Thanks 👍

Yup, next to the strap retaining screw from my Fenix 3 🙄😡

Interested ! Was he the guy who started a pic heavy thread just before the great STW site crash ? I could never recover that thread which was excellent.
Watching this with interest

Big in Japan. I cannot hear anything other than my school mate singing ‘big in ja-pants’

January 2019 for me. Six months off work due to the installed scaffolding . It gets better, slowly. Good luck

Cheers OP ! First pair of Five Tens ordered ! Less VAT and one week delivery to Hong Kong in one week.
Happy

Thin Lizzy with Robertson anywhere or anytime 👍

Late to the show ！ the cheap straps are great, those tiny pins though ! Anyone know the size and/or source ? Thnx

I’ve just swapped older Reba race and newer SID between bikes. I will opine no, no better! Both good but I’d not spend expecting a huge difference

I’ve one tattoo, the Thin Lizzy Chinatown dragon face. I’m a welsh boy who has been in HK for 25 years. Carry on

OP I also commented on your original post. I’m one year and two weeks post surgery for similar.
It gets better 👍 slowly

I asked this a long while ago when I was commuting in Hong Kong. I tried a few of the available masks, unfortunately they are just useless.
There must be a feasible market for them but I’ve not found one.
Frustrating I know

OP may I ask, how did you get the old post out ?

JR
Check out 28bike.com they pop up regularly second hand 😜
JM

It’s good stuff if you can find it ! Was flagged as four quid a stage in the Borehamwood store late last year when I visited my sister. Counter insisted it was four quid all up !

I’ve similar era Revs which are air sprung and still pretty good. Is changing to air still an option ? Just curious !

To the OP good luck 👍 you are on the worst rollercoaster imaginable. Your boy needs help and support but so do you.
I wish you all, all the best 🙏

Oh he existed. He was crucified by the Romans. He was a dude, whatever you believe. Give me a a better role model, ever ?

Got to agree with most of the above, they aren’t pet dogs. Mate had two, in Hong Kong 🙄 they were mental. A python ate one of them, that was a big snake.

Mountain bikes, mountain biking and mountain bikers are all pish boring 😜

Swansea ? City is a dump but Mumbles is awesome, take the MTB and explore

@csb .. I’m gonna guess at Big Buddha descent ?!

As the other HK meMyers will attest, the feral water buffalo deposit their waste in planetary amounts ! If that shit dries on you or your bike …!

Get well iain !
It’s long haul but you’ll get there. All the scaffolding came out of my shoulder this week after a messy crash in January.
Feeling great ! As above do the physio try to think positively. My bikes are all spotless 😁
