Not explored yet. But there’s meant to be some ok bridleways around terrington area.

Love it when they hurl the scanned shopping down the conveyor oblivious to you still struggling to get the first bag open.

Aye, nice looking frame that Bowman.
Not insinuating you are a hefty rider but One thing to consider with the Aithein is the designers have a rider weight limit on then. Think its 15 odd stone.

Think sigmasport have the aitheins for about £580 at the moment. Paid the full £650 for mine. Which was still a good price for a stunning frame.

Interesting that the red/orange frame has the matching colour graphic on the fork, whilst the green one is white.

Often wondered that myself as well.
Speaking of the forks. The front end of these bikes are incredibly agile. Took a couple of hours to get used to it from my previous bike.

Shonky picture of mine. Note the reduction of 2 spacers and a flipped stem now 😆

And changed the bottle cages to these. Look loads better

Mentioned on a couple of posts now that I rate my Aithein highly. Comfort isnt an issue. Done a 70 mile hilly ride into the NY moors no problem. Stick a good quality carbon post in and not rock hard tyres and jobs a good un.

Down

whats yer missus cooking for tea.
dunno, Alaska.

Jamaica…………………no she was very willing.

Just do what most hen/stag parties do and come here to York.

If you do go to Hebden Bridge. There’s a great walk up the buttress to heptonstall. Cracking couple of pubs there. White lion has a good ale choice. Be fun walking down again when half cut haha.

Klovn. Mentally funny Danish film.

Fettling, going blind. This isn’t really about bike parts is it 😆

Some of the reviews are great

I thought I would have a laugh at a mate’s expense. He brought his missus round for a meal and I gave them the natural yoghurt recipe from the book. I would have liked to put my hand on the back of her head while she ate it, purely out of habit, but thought better of it,

Anyway, she asked if she could take some home. I said yes, as I thought it was because she liked it so much. I mean, I didn’t know she had thrush! I knew he had had the snip because he told me.

So now, ten months later, they’re divorced. He’s still in rehab, and she’s managed to get a council house on account of her being a single mother. She’s now a devout Catholic too.

So I recommend the book be placed in the waiting rooms in sperm banks

Chocolate chip elevenses bars are great. For a semi instant boost I like jelly beans (veggie, so suit me well). You could probably make a sarnie from peanut butter and bananas and cut into handy to eat squares.

17m for me before I start to get twitchy. So much for living in the north. Damn you vale of York grrrrrrr

Get him to take out insurance as normal and add you as a named driver. Will make some difference. Did it for my lass a couple of years back. Saved her about £95 on her premium. Was going to be about £300 without me being on her policy.

The guy who plays the boss in the IT Crowd, but only in that character

Matt Berry. That would be hilarious 🙂

Worth seeing one in the flesh. The paint finish is really nice. Like the dice on the rear brake mount as well. Nice touch.

Found out my frame size. Its the 50cm one.

Forgot what size frame it is bud. Will have a look tomorrow for you. Other stuff for you though. 5’8″ with approx 31″ inside leg. Reach about 25 inches.

Hahahaha that green Aithein is actually mine. Was built by York Cycleworks. Stem was like that after they inputted my previous bikes fit details. Rode it once and got them to reduced the spacers, install a longer and flipped stem. Couldnt stand it looking like that. Looks great now though.

Rook and Gaskill is brill for beer as well. All handpulls are £2.80. They also do a resonably priced burger from 6pm.

Brigantes at the top of Micklegate is good for food and beer. Good range of real ales and mainland Europe beers. Ordered food off menu a few times (beer battered halloumi with chips and mushy peas is really nice)

If you are considering the Aithein, then just get it. I got mine last year in the sic green colour. Its got Chorus groupset and Shamal wheels. Weight just shy of 16lbs. Rides fantastic. Nice fat carbon seatpost helps loads.

Would 5/6mm steel sheet be too heavy for the carcasses. Would be handy to bolt a vice onto then.

Edit, just modelled a 1800x600x6 thk MS plate into inventor. Comes out at 51kg

Did this a few years back. PC optical cable connected to a Beresford caiman dac. This is then connected to my trusty old arcam alpha 7 amp. Then got some wharfdale diamond 9.1 speakers bi wired. Sounds really good.

Really do like beer battered halloumi with chips and mushy peas. Local pub does it a treat.
Bit of a curve ball, but made a banana curry a couple of times. Sounds gopping, but is really nice. Lastnights was a corker.

Rosedale Chimney. Dont live a million miles away so can easily do it on a day ride. Never got round to it yet.

Did anyone get the deore cranks and can confirm if they come with the bb or not?

Hope not as just bought one with a BB included for £49.99 one week before this sale haha.
Ordered the Agu bib tights for £29.99 on this sale though. Nice bargain that as wanted a new set to replace my old Alexa ones.

How do.

Regarding the engine on the octavia question. I’ve currently got a 64 plate 1.4tfsi octavia saloon in elegance spec. Engine is a corker. Its 140bhp with a good 0-60 time of around 8 seconds. Short trip to work I can easily get 40mpg. Longer runs can get 50 or higher no problem. Only got 1400 miles so nowhere near run in as well. Plus can fit my C456 in the back without taking the front wheel off.

Deore 2×10 chainset for £35. Not bad that. Assuming it comes with BB as well.

Still waiting for me boots

Pair in 10 hole solovair boots for me.

Same here, the worse (of many) thing about using the turbo. Never an issue on the road

Snap. Same problem with my. Numb nads and knee pain on the turbo. Same bike totally fine on the road.

Number 3

Well that was more like it. CV sent to them Tuesday, interview arranged for today. Was going great, good rapport with interviewer. Asked about salary etc. Got me to meet the MD. He got a brief version of why im looking for work. Said he wants to look after me the right way, and said the salary offer will be in the post this weekend. Boom job done haha. Feel chuffed at the moment.

Bit of an update on yesterdays interviews.

Number one, for large international company was intially sent for mechanical cad technician job on circa £33k. Turns out its reading electrical schematics to design electrical switchgear cabinets, and salary was much less than £33k. Cheers Mr Recruitment agency for a wasted trip.

Number two, was a permanent job for a consultancy. Turned out it was 3 months maximum using software I have not mentioned on my CV. Once again, another waste of a time.

Interview three tomorrow is more up my street though. So should be good hopefully.

We used to be minimum of 20% back in the day when it was more buoyant. 15 years ago we were pretty much the market leaders in our field. To many years of bad management has left a broken company.
