If they still made them i’d pick a KingDick adjustable but i don’t think they do and i double the quality is still there in what they do make so….

Well they’re the RR of podgers, still going strong.

Complete bike has been delivered…. Unfortunately I’m working away all week. Oh well, let’s hope for a bit of sunshine to trial it for the weekend.

Tim Barry – This November

A song about depression. Live version, bit sweary.

Just this week had one from Aspenn Furniture. Little nuts loves it, is well made and they deliver and assemble it.
No desk on ours, just drawers and hanging space but I think they do several designs and pretty sure he’ll make to suit as well.

Is Norman coming to sort things out?

Those names are a bit shite or am I missing some reference?

Pfft, you sound like one of those “butt hurt posters on Same Ten *****”

Ps: GX Eagle model with carbon bars launching tomorrow at £1199.99 with £299 intro discount.

Looks like it’ll be the 3rd time I’ll change my order :)

(Still hoping I’ll change it a 4th time when you add a dropper)

Hi Brant – have ordered a frame, thinking over a full build although I have a fair few parts ready to put on, would you consider a Frame+Fork type bundle?

I run a (steel) erection company.

I’ve worked on big erections and little ones too.

“your next erection is in safe hands” etc.

Stw, where the trails come alive.
You don’t grind your own beans?

Bringing this thread back as a bit of a psa, season 2 has started. Just about to dive in.

Anyone riding Winchester tomorrow then?

Yes, a couple of us coming up from Bournemouth tomorrow. We’re definitely in the “making up the numbers” ranks.

Had a bash at the offcamber race in Blandford a few weeks ago which was good fun but hella rooty!

Forecast for tomorrow actually looks alright, never ridden there before so no idea what it’ll be like.

Don’t know when you’re going, but if you’re planning to start from Sandbanks, keep an eye on the chain ferry news feed, It’s been closed today, but due to re-open again tomorrow afternoon. Also there’s a re-fit coming up next month, starting 29th Oct for 4-6 weeks.

Find someone who only wears an spd on their left leg.

Anyway kids high on haribo are probably a nightmare no primary school teacher is paid enough to have to deal with so maybe go with the school’s wishes next time.

I believe he stated many times the teacher said it was OK.

When you put on the brakes, did he fly right by?

Just about managed to log in via my phone. Nothing doing on the laptop. Have tried deleting cookies but Maurice Moss I am not. Site is such a ballache at the moment. Sorry.

Thanks for the input so far. Anyone else with any recommendations or ones to avoid?

Thanks speedstar, I’ll take a look. How big are you and how’s the fit? It says it can be washed with no detriment to the protective bit so I assume its part of the vest rather than a removable pad/s

I’m just back into zwift after a forced layoff bikes, and life in general. I broke/shattered T3 vertebrae after a OTB and into a tree in the local forest back in September. 8 weeks flat bed rest (op was too risky apparently) was the treatment, which is pretty savage to your muscles. I came out at the end of November with a spinal brace and just standing was an achievement.

Well Christmas came and so did my enthusiasm to get back on a bike, so into the house came the turbo and fired up Zwift. Just building up general strength again at the moment just 30mins or so at a time (1lap wattopia just!), but its so nice to back in a saddle, even in this straightjacket of a brace. Looking forward to pushing on.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To see the idiot!

*awkward silence at rubbish joke*

Knock knock
Who’s there?
Duh, the chicken.

Currently “enjoying” day 51 in hospital. As said above, deliveroo, Amazon, domino’s all good here.

I never use the mobile site, always request desktop version. Then it’s fine.

TJ moderates the helmet threads

Well he’s got his work cut out with the helmets on this thread

I’m just here so I can look back in future and say “I was there”

Knowledge.

What I’ve learned from experience or being shown over the years, makes my job far easier than the van full of tools I cart about with me.

From a brief Google the Hitachi one looks similar to the metabo one I purchased last month.
The metabo one is brilliant, so I’d imagine the Hitachi one would be fine too.

Edit just seen I read it wrong, not seen dewalt adaptor. I’ll check it out.

I saw 2:30 last night and woke up /was woken up at 6:30.

I’m trying the podcast type stuff, I’ll dig out your thread cantbike. I’m currently using radio iplayer and listening to the radio 4 comedies and other bits. Definitely looking to broaden my listening.

Fatmax with probably the best idea, although jellyfish in the cathater might upset the staff here.

I actually tried Netflix last night, I tried to think of a film to watch that I’d have no interest in, just some background drivel that would hopefully send me to sleep. I chose Pixels. Even worse than I could imagine, and ended up watching the whole bloody thing. Sods law.

Thanks for the well wishes.

I’m in a hospital bed, have been for 10 days now. I’m in a room of 3 on the ward. Both of the other 2 are old, 80 plus. The one opposite has a problem swallowing basically sounds like he’s drowning in his own phlegm, poor guy needs hoovering out every half an hour or so. The one next to me had a sleep most of the day and is merrily singing away now whilst demanding a cup of tea.

I’ve broken my back – unstable T3, but I’ve been lucky to have no spinal cord damage. I find out tomorrow if they are going to operate or not. A long road ahead of me which course we go down.

I struggle to sleep at the best of times, but particularly bad tonight oh how I’d love a good walk right now.

I am self employed with a family and I can’t help the financial worries rumbling around my head, even though I have fantastic family and friends around me telling me not to. Can’t help it though.

The nights have gotten very long this last week.

I can’t sleep either. What do we win

41 now and was due to be mortgage free at 48. However, I’m writing this from my hospital bed with a broken back. Being self employed all bets are off now.

Saw them a couple of years ago, having always missed them back in the day. Dreadful.

Yep, I’ll be there, the weak link in Team Hug as usual, in the 24hr team.
Posse of us getting there for Thursday, always a great event, really looking forward to it.

Don’t know much about depression or front lights I’m afraid, but have chucked into junkyard’s just giving.

Been to a couple of winter solstice’s there and was great to get among the stones, like Cougar says I didn’t realise you generally couldn’t get up close to them, I think that would be a tad disappointing.

In other news, there’s a woodhenge type thingummy behind the Worth Matravers car park by “The greatest pub in the world”(tm) “The Square and Compass” if you’re down that neck of the woods.
Looks a bit pony but at least you can sack it off and spend your money on a pasty and pint instead.

2 cyclists, 1 cup

The old town in the middle of Riga was pretty good.

I left site the other day in that there Londinium.

Gate man: You back tomorrow.

Me: No, probably not ’til Monday.

Gate Man: Safe.

Me: err, bye.

I’ve being saying safe to everyone since. (I have no clue)

What about a Whyte t129? I don’t have one but it looks like it ticks the boxes for most of your needs, bit short on travel though.
(I’m looking for the same sort of thing)

Pah, signs can change to km, pints can change to half litres, speeds to km/h. But the real change over will come when penis measurements are in mm.
