    I am sure it will be fine, there will be so many relatives around that she will be glad i am out for a day. the hard part will be gettign all the training in between now and then!

    also is that wind break still in one piece after the QE trip ? thought you may have need to replace it!

    if i make it i will be on an orange Tranny so should also be an easy spot, let’s hpoe there are no other orange bikes or it could all get a bit hard to find people.

    Celearic mash is really nice, make it as normal mash add in some cooked onion strips and then a little bit of light chedder melted on the top, nice with anything i find.

    you could do that as a side or you could cook up some cod/white fish and mix that in as big chunks for a brandad of a kind would be nice.

    Yours for only £107 on Merlin I saw this morning.
    However they do look nice.
    Which I thought was a lot till I looked at the prices of flat pedals.

    should be there, may stick on the 16t for the rear if there is lots of road, the mud tires drag quite a bit so may be rather slow!

    FM – sounds like you watched the show on Mexico City on BBC1 last night!

    sounds like you need a project, which should probably revolve around getting your garage door removed and having a wall put in, then drylining and insulating your garage and then putting in heating, carpet, a bar and a pool table……

    then hosting an infamous ride night every Thursday

    These look good as I suffer terribly fro cold hands, does anyone k now wher you canbuy them from, google only brings up amazon and they have no stock?

    Cheers for the info IR, may be worth a bit more research on the gates stuff but it does look good and i think that may be worth pursueing, i think a belt drive SS would look rather smart all in.
    A guy i ride with has a sirius and it is a really nice frame and rides well.

    was wondering when this would pop up,
    not a big enough Lordswood hitter to start the thread myself.
    unless you count hitting trees of course.
    should be there will let you know if not.

    i was looking at this last night, looks really nice, was primarliy interested because of the belt drive compatability,
    A quick goole search shows not many places selling the belt drives.
    anyone know of anywhere with prices for all the parts you would need?
    Assumming you would run singlespeed do you just need a chainring, sprocket and the belt?

    As above, run 120 fox on my tranny, rides brilliantly, would definitely recomend going with 120 over 100, doesnt affect climbing and you get the bonus of the extra travel on the way down. 😀

    I have been riding ti flys for about 3 years, loved them, I find them really comfy, however people who ride my bike either hate it or like it, I would ride one for a few hours to see If you get on with it.
    They are nice and light have a nice amount of flex at the edges and are great for long distance riding I find.
    They are quite hard on the nose of the saddle and there is hardly any padding, so quite different from tne bel air.
    Hope that helps.

    I bought a pair of singular steel rigids and they are fantastic, springy fairly light and don’t flex too much, had a pair of p2 before and they were just as good, both available cheap and if tou can get them second hand cheaper
    Have really enjoyed it so definitely worth a go

    Thats awesome, I remember that when they bought it out.
    Although who has the patience to buy and store this stuff then sell it on 15-20 yrs later?
    NuTz would have ridden it into the ground.

    impressive, looks like you should be able to do a fair bit on one of those.
    will hope to see you out on one locally very soon!

    Revolver is horrible, but really enjoy a very dark place, although it kills you! Angels is great for longer intervals , highly enjoyable stuff which makes turbo almost fun.

    was only kidding, the layer of mud we will bring with us will have enough insulating properties of it’s own!
    anything you need bringing up, can pop over before ride if you need anything.

    sounds good, will see you there.

    we could send you a 10min text warning, get the beers opened, heaters on 😉
