Insoles?

Fox Van R 140’s and Panaracer Cinder 2.35s

Please forgive the Temp saddle and pedals {as skint and couldn’t wait till funds were available}. Oh and those nasty silvery headset spacers – still trying to pluck up courage to cut forks to right length!

Cheers STW!

That’ll be a pedicure he needs…

Anyway just goes to show I’m right again on two fronts. Camping is stupid and tea is an evil concoction that should be avoided at ALL times.

Get well soon Drillski.

Mahoosive bowl of Jersey Royal new potatoes with nowt but butter and touch of salt. THE taste of summer…

Well that and cider but I’ll leave that till about half four.

Nothing personal, just had wee bee in my bonnet for a while about pub bike as a phrase. It’d take me longer to get my bike out the shed than to walk to my local, so I’m probably jealous I’ve no reason to justify another bike.

Are these shorts any good then? For riding I mean…

The frame on the left.

So you were covered by my original proviso Roger, and what you’re referring to is in fact a a mode of transport rather than a pub bike. A bike in other words?

There, that’s better we’ve put that to bed, it’s a bike for geting about on. Like we all used to before driving became possible as we turnd 17. It’s a bike…

Who actually rides a bike to the pub though? Apart from those living in rural areas who might have a bit of a trek to their local?

The only guys i see with bikes round here in pubs are sweat encrusted, b.o ridden, sandal-and-sock-wearing beard-bothering real-ale bores. And they’re made to sit in the snug so the smell doesn’t offend.

Murrayfield, March 17 1990.

ton – you got any more details about Courchevel, off there at start of July.

James – check out Pleisure in Courchevel, very reasonable prices compared to companies in larger resorts.

That’ll do for me, thanks chaps!

It does weigh more than mine, and as for lasting longer, that frame is my third frame on warranty. Her tyres needed pumped up when it was dusted off from the shed. She likes it, so no real need to change.

Morna says : “I like it and I am too tight to spend more than £80 on a bike”

She didn’t appreciate the “shite” comment Phildowling so watch out mate, a woman not to be messed with.

Bare minimum.

no need. sorry.

jamesca – you missed an r in referring! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! LOL!

I PITY THE FOOL

See? A nice quick pedantic debate is much better all round.

I think it should be others’

SFB I am certainly not about to enter into an afternoon of pedantic debate with you, was merely pointing out one possible reason for the STW author using the offensive word. Thank you.

If I’m not wrong that prize tit Rob Warner spouted “winningest” out when they realised Peat had won on Sunday during Freecaster’s broadcast? Maybe a wee piss-take of him PP? Would that placate you any?

Sorry to hijack, but what pipe cutters are folk recommending for steel steerers then? Plumber mate reckons his copper pipe cutter won’t look at steel steerers…

And not grippy in the wet either.

1. Heli-bike/Float Plane trip in Canada{this may be addressed in June!}
2. Mega avalanche
3. not crack a Commencal Meta

do it in a Fire Engine quite often, no-one cheers?

Thanks MisterP, but frame is at work and I’m at home so can’t do that. There’s no immediate rush, just bored really! Avoiding gardening duties more than anything else! Thanks again.

InaTrance? more like in a bubble/coma. You’re not a High Court Judge are you?{no winky smily but hopfully you can tell I’m only teasing}

No-one got an answer?

RR – just what I need, top jockey wheel is fine. Thanks for heads up.{mine lost some teeth when hitting a rock at the same time as mis-shift by pal – wee ring front/wee ring back}

which one ralph? There are several options on that page, I’m after the same{Tried to buy some of you remember?} and this would be an ideal solution…

This is depressing as ****. Me? I wish could go back to being 19.

On the plus side though I’m getting a new shed/man cave deliverd today so that’s a wee bit of excitement.

I’m off to Whitley Bay tomorrow morning dressed as Ian {the groomer/dad figure/actually the husband} Krankie with a mate dressed as Wee Jimmy as part of end of season 10’s tournament piss-up.

I’v got TWO new frames to build tonight, and then thrash next week!

She’ll need to go into Edinburgh methinks. Usual suspects apply – Co-Op, Velo Ecosse, Bike Chain, Alpine etc.

B and G cycles in Portobello don’t carry a massive range of gear, but they can order stuff in and the staff are unusually helpful for things like bike set-up etc…

Bobbyspangles! you are helpful with your first post then you burst the bubble of kindness by suggesting I’m mechanically inept! How very cruel.

Thanks!

Ignore this thread, not available apparently. Only high end mavic wheels are convertible. Thank you!!!

If he’s willing to go down the ex-hire route, The Hub at Glentress have some cracking Genesis{s}. Mate got a lovely steel framed Altitude for £500 from RRP £1200. RS Revs and decent bits on too?

9 Months? And you’v already got an Intense and now after a Prince Albert? I’d say you’r doing well my man, keep up the good work!!!

Some tit will be along shortly to say you should be pootling around on a butchers’ bike in order to learn the basics but sod them…

I’d rather wear those Olivia newton-johns efforts than **** RonHill Tracksters any day of the week.
