tis right good, needs a burr grind though.

Aeropress and one of those mini battery powered milk whisks?

having been surrounded by horses for as long as I can remember I consider them little more than giant organic vibrators to ether keep young girls away from boys or older ladies pacified.

I find overtaking them high side with a Pro2 hub at full whirr to be the safest course of action.

If the nag is so skitty that the rider is not in control then the rider shouldn’t be on that horse in a local where they are likely to encounter the general public. back to school with the halfwitted beastial dry humper!

bloody things, only good for stewing.

do less?

oh, update:

civil registry

register at town hall in madrid (but two years registration is required, without that you need "According to documents as seen" from the BC, see below)

GET – full UK hague Apostille on birth certificate (£27.00)
GET – above document translated – by the ministry foreign affairs: http://www.maec.es

or (UK translation of birth certificate – £80-£150 for UK solicitor notarization)
GET UK translation & then signed by a (spanish speaking) Notary (get them to confirm that it was translated in UK) then Apostille by UK FCO (£27.00)

* the UK Notary I spoke to said we could do the translation and they would sign it, even though they don’t read Spanish!?! then we’d send them off to be Apostilled both original & translation in one go (2x£27), my biggest fear there would be that all would be sorted then some spanish uber-bureaucrat would announce that everything must stop as there is only a single Apostille stamp on my original birth certificate not two, but that couldn’t happen… ..could it?

GET – Proof of UK residency for +2 years (household bills etc)
GET – Non Standard document from the British Consulate known as "According to documents as seen" (80 euros – approx)

GET – UK town hall to do the 21 days publication of Banns
GET – Banns translated by the British consulate – (75 euro approx)

All documents only valid for 3 months from UK issue in Spain (regardless of UK or international document status!)

I hate all this, there’d better be some descent tax incentives after all this 😆

cheers beejam! (STW really does appear to be the fountain of all knowledge!)

here’s what I’ve just gathered, if it helps you?

I spoke to a really helpful lass called Bernadette at the B.C.

what Gary says "hang off the back, stay off the brakes and trust the bike not to kill you" is true about most Orange bikes, at least thats my "happy place" 😀

I’ve just realised its you Hora! ok, before you start to disassemble the engine block,
…have you tied any balloons to the Ariel? 😆

just out of interest what tyres did you have on the TranceX?

the cable routing? why do they do that? still ignoring that tis a lovely looking frame, v. nice lines, does it weigh much?

it sounds like a universal joint, on my old truck I had the same symptoms and checked it by clambering underneath and seeing if there was any lateral play in the joints, that was pretty easy to do as it was high off the ground and crawling around under it didn’t require a jack, there also weren’t any trays or things in the way?

who?

nope it works fine here

they are doing some free upgrades at the moment, but personally I’d probably go for frame only with a maxle or the very lovely AM.

come on, lets see some more pictures, oh and please tell me you’ve not put those bar ends on! 😆

Thats strange, I demoed one and found it very easy to pedal and also found that you could pump the bike off the smallest of things and gain extra speed? Even on the climbs it was fine and I rode the thing up a god awfully steep hill (Burderop hill, Barbary Castle, Chiseldon), that said I did engage the propedal/lock.

I’d say that the iffy cornering would definitely be down to the tyres, again I found that the five cornered really well.

I couldn’t comment on the suspension sensitivity as I normally ride a HT and if I’m honest any squash on the back end seems, erm, squashy? could it be that the shock wasn’t set up right?

what were the TranceX2 and the GT hard tail like?

this is a shit thread!

me too, but alas commitments (as originally stated)

ah but is that mangle A++ rated?

and correct me if I’m worng but isn’t that just one of them Yorkshire niche things! 😀

must.
not.
bite.

no problems, msn’s a nightmare, I copied the image from the msn link and then used photobucket!

here you go:

new by the looks of the site, they’ve updated it I do believe.

I can nearer confirm or deny the rumors that snipers may be deployed 😀

sounds like they’d need you more than you’d need them, limited liability partner or no go?

do you need any snipers? just to keep them all moving?
I’m a pretty keen shot and I can lay down for ages! 😀
