mmel,
that’s the jobbie, cheers

To all of you/us I can only say I am humbled and privileged to hear your stories. As silly as STW sometimes can be, I think everyone who reads this thread has nothing but compassion and (yes) love for all.

Yikes, would also look great on the new 456 ti that i’ve pre-ordered. I see February as being very spendy !

I f you could see me jumping about like David Lee Roth on E, and probably going to do myself an injury ..
just love Bon era DC, and most of the subsequent stuff

Dez
No question, just juvenile excitement.. at last on I thingymuummy

nobody ? i’m disappointed. Surely some AC/DC fans here ?

dropping the kids off at the pool..

+1 from me. Ordered a new 456 Ti, from the advert, implied it came with a headset. Sent a request asking for a 1.5 crown race, was told no headset actually included, but they would send one free anyway ! Thanks to Jamie at O-O.

Thanks Messiah. I’m in Hong Kong, and don’t know anyone with an on one to try unfortunately. Anybody else assist please ?

If you were between sizes, say 16″ and 18″, which size would you go for ? trying to write in the third person, so as to avoid clicking pre-order ! Thnx

Samuri +1. As Dame Alice would say, ‘he could have been killed’…

Damn the lot of you ! This is for sale in Hong Kong,
anybody know anything about it ? Should I ? Works
out at about 70 GBP

Thanks,

Oh, GRIT spreader, with all these lance accusations, I thought you said *hit spreader !! :D

I read somewhere that if you have one JC book then it’s OK, two is dubious, three is just unforgiveable. Never read one myself though.

That’s terrible. Up the local park, look for a drunk yoof and give him a good kicking / reprimand ..!?

THIN LIZZY – any of the girls want a little more Irish in them ?!

Sorry to reopen this thread… Just wondering, does any other company, other than Trek make a QR skewer that will fit the ABP axle ? Trawled the usual online sites, cannot find anything that will fit. Only reason I ask is that I’d like a pretty colour one rather then that offered by Trek! Thnx in advance

Jamie, yeah I realise, not getting indignant or anything. LOL at Glupton as well

Hang on, I opened the thread, and although I’m no fan of football, I don’t hate it. I just thought Dame Alice was out of order calling for a long term ban for a player from another team for such a trivial incident.

seadog, i agree, but Ashley Williams couldn’t hit the a*se of a donkey with a banjo, so to say he deliberately did it is just nonsense

LOL at Mike… a suggestion, mount a wi-fi monitor and watch on that from the i-pad ?

Nobody said ‘shi*****g dog’ yet ?

Holy Hell, Billy if that’s your commuter ……. and you want a change, what are you going to get ?

It’s a Celebrity KnobOut :oops:

how much are FB asking for a frame only (HKD), if you don’t mind I ask? Hope to see you (and the yeti !!) on Chi Ma Wan

Stew, lovely bike. Is it from Flying Ball, might (must !) pop in later if so …

Dear Santa, I’d like adrenalinedaddys cotic rocket from the other thread please

Oh, and one more thing, should I use thread lock? Thnx again

Oh, ok. Are they all M5 size though?

Same place as that last geezer, ….. Panama wasn’t it ? :D

My Dad sold his house with Dawsons (Gorseinon) in a week, this week, he seemed pretty pleased. Don’t know if they’re in Cardiff though.

dose ? anyboby know ? Nah, thankfully not :D
bloody itchy tho’

I’ve worked shifts for over 20 years. I find, if you can wangle a system, that commuting is easier, and week days off are great for vacant trails. It’s all about finding a routine that suits. IMHO.

Some years ago in the Hong Kong equivilant of Time Out, there was a review of the Michael Caine remake of the Quiet American. It read,
“have you ever met one?”
Made me smirk anyway.

I went to Ilfracombe once on a boat trip from Swonzeee, loads of scardey cat English types !! :D

nice idea for a post,
loving some of these, just what i need, for me
1 wife laughing
2 dogs playing
3 Thin Lizzy
4 bikes in every guise
5 nope, that’s it, i’m sad!!

thanks for the links chaps. not the original post i had in mind, but equally as useful. gonna give it a shot myself. just out of interest, anyone know what a dealer would charge for a full service ?

another +1 for xtr shifters. just bought two sets to replace slx and xt, amazed by the difference. bit dangerous though, as i think i’m becoming a bit of an xtr shiman-whore !

Message sent. Originally from Swansea, always ride in Clyne when I get home. Good luck with the struggle.
