Lovely. Enjoy it!

Aaaahhhhh….I wish you hadn't posted that! No! Too expensive!

I ride much better at night as I can't see the scary bits on the track. Much less random braking!

Thanks guys. Will crack it open next weekend (and will presumably find out where all the mud has gone to round our way!).

Not 36, not in IT but I do tick one a half boxes on MrNutt's post.

Owned P7, Inbred, Soul.

All are great and hard to fault but the most fun = Soul.

Looks like 20cm for London

XC-Steve – that's cool, but your wife's response is just brilliant!

Kit – go for it!

Wonderful! Such service – thanks.

Well……..!! I was just thinking red and green against white…hmmmmm….!

Nice. Like the red hubs.

It doesn't look very snowy though….you're just having a day off aren't you?! :wink:

Absolutely – occasional nightriding, but Sundays are good. A regualr route of mine, that.

Was in Whippendell yesterday, buddy. I'm HP7 – just up by Little Chalfont. Used to be Chorleywood (with the black rabbits on the common).

My 2.5 litre SWB Landy. 45-ish was about as much as she would go (when the clutch / starter / cooling system was working!). Great fun though. I'm considering extracting her from the shed she's been in for the last 5 years and bringing the old girl back to life.

Ti29er – can't offer you any words of wisdom, other than what the others have said above, as we don't have a dog at present, but when the time comes happy to join you on a ride to help you get over it (I think you're round my way somewhere – near Jct 18).

Cheers Ononeorange

Cotic Soda

Enjoy it. Glad you got it all sorted out.

Ace! What a great wife! You'll enjoy it.

Good-Bye Lenin – forgot that one, hilarious!

Shocker. Sorry to hear – as said above, keep strong for his GF and family.

Cheers ta – thought I'd get some "on the ground" info rather than relying on websites being updated.

I really enjoyed it, and I've really enjoyed a lot of German cinema in recent years – Sophie Scholl, the Edukators, Downfall, etc

Either the wrong end of Oldham in the early 1990's or Newton Heath in Manchester (around the same time).

Sounds odd – I have the same setup and it went on fine. It could be a tight spot on the chainring perhaps – happens as it never goes on truly centred. On a geared bike you don't notuice as the tension takes it out.

Loosen the chainring bolts slightly, rotate the cranks (with chain attached to rear sprocket) and tap the chainring gently with a rubber mallet. When the tight spots have gone – it's centred.

Great news and great attitude! Really, really pleased to hear it. Keep it up!

If my Juicy 3 is anything to go by, Lidl value is more like it!

Thanks everyone. I will pour myself a large Christmas whisky and go to the frame with spare Mono Mini again….not sure what went wrong before.

Don't let a SO move in! They come over all funny about bikes in the shower, kitchen etc.

Yep – the only quiet-ish days of the whole year. Keep putting off doing the absolute mountain of filing that has built up since 31st December 2008. Really-must-do-it-today.

Worst thing is how long the journey takes in and out – tyrains hit and miss, but at least they're not packed.

Had it a couple of times. Hurts insanely!

My GP didn't take my balloon-sized toe seriously, even while I was chewing his desk in pain, suggested the old classic of "rest" (amazingly, I didn't get "it's probably a virus going around"!!). I actually thought I'd broken it but couldn't for the life of me work out how. So I researched it on the net and changed my diet radically – as above, no tea / coffeee/ booze, cut out prawns and shellfish and red meat (diet does get a little dull), but what I think really helped was downing loads of water – when I started on that it went in about 24 hours. Could have been concidence, but when I feel the first twinges now, I hit the water big-time and it goes away.

Robbie Williams (does he count?).

And +1 for Bruce Springsteen ("tedious shouty").

Went out yesterday morning after dropping Mrs Ononeorange in Rickmansworth (clever last-minute bike in back of car manoeuvre) then along canal to Denham and up over Shire Lane to Chenies and along the ridge back home. Wonderful singlespeed ride – didn't see a soul and the mud was still frozen. Perfect. Well, would have been perfect if my front pads hadn't worn through completely and if I'd remembered my gloves!

Love it! A proper winter at last with proper snow and stuff. It makes riding the bike more fun (the 6+ inches of mud and gloop are frozen under the snow), the only improvment would have been if the trains to work had stopped running, but never mind.

Personally I really like the look of them but never seen one in the flesh – can therefore make no objective comments, but am fascinated at the amount of posting generated – at least they get a response! Nice to see something really quite different. Enjoy your bike, bad luck on the skewer. If I make it along the South Downs in 2010 I'll say hello.

…………..and the answer is………..

Tadaaa the extnesion lead (or the connector). Pushed the tv back and used the little bit of coaxial that was there and it's a superb picture.

Right. Now to eliminate connector or cable (or just leave TV where it is!).

Mrs Ononeorange says a million thanks to STW!

Cheers everyone. I was obsessed it was the aerial.

Couldn't see any large coils – we've added an impressive 20m thpugh running it around the room (we moved the TV position). Thinking about it, I'll move the TV back and try without the extension in caes that's faulty – see if we can eliminate what we've changed.

Yes retuned freeview and TV.

Thanks for the thoughts!

Lots of people playing on the hill overlooking old Amersham. And it's big.

Just a thought – as Tijuana said it wasn't the money but the principle (I think), how about Ti Man gives the money to a charity of TT's choice? That way honour is served and the spirit of the Classifieds lives on, hopefully everyone's happy-ish.

What oddjob said. You can't get involved with her job; you need to make sure you support her totally at home, so she can just deal with the situation at work.

It's a difficult time to be thinking of changing jobs I know, but help her see that she could.

Got a couple of bikes, but am now thinking about tyre choice as…..the rear on the s/s in indeed a Speed King. Presumably they have previous?

AndyP – In a cakeular context, broccoli would merely be a crinkly-leaved interloper, seeking to be only the devil’s messenger (and frankly would make any cake rather chewy. And possibly green, too).

I stick to my views that the path to cake hell is lined with the three C’s of doom – courgette, celery and cucumber. Cast them out before it is too late and follow in the certain footsteps of carrots! etc etc.
