    Long tday me Dolphins fan (it’s not been a good 33 years) so I also support whoever’s playing the Patriots as well. Deflategate and Trump make it more so.

    The Centaurus is an insane engine, see this video for how the sleeve valves work and think of all that up & down and round & round motion at high rpm 8O

    I believe that an Australian Sea Fury shot down a Mig-15 during the Korean war.

    It was a Royal Navy Sea Fury flown by Lt. Peter Carmichael. The Sea Fury was influenced by the FW190 but have a look at some of the other Hawker projects around the same time with the last generation of big piston aero engines. The aerodynamics of the aircraft mean that while the Mustang wing is extensively modified for air racing the Sea Fury is already close to perfect. And finally, one of my favourite Sea Fury videos:

    It’s named after the Rolls RB211 engine, the B in RB211 standing for Barnoldswick. Of course using carbon fibre in the RB211 bankrupt RR.

    See who’s playing the 9:30 club on U street, also the Air and Space Museum on the Mall and the new one out at Dulles. If you’re in Pennsylvania, skiing at White Tail?

    It depresses me how much of my memory seems to be taken up with 80s pop music which I didn’t even particularly like at the time.

    So the question is… what do i do for him to make things better ? I know from all of our perspectives, Brechfa is fine on a nice FS bike… but imagine trying it on a 24″ rigid LOL

    Mine arrived yesterday, really pleased with my stuff, phenomenal value and Christmas gifts for a couple of cycling relatives sorted. LBS quality at less than ALDI prices.

    Went in on the office full fat Friday sausage and egg butty order. Got my money back with the sandwich as the butty shop were doing a Black Friday offer and two of the people on the order got theirs free . :D

    My wife has a Pendleton, albeit a different model, and it’s a pretty good bike. Proper components rather than being a BSO, not super heavy and handles ok. I’d also go with the Black Friday route or BC membership discount.

    I thought of getting one, in the end I used the cost to justify getting a GoPro, as it gives me the fisheye lens, and better resolution and equivalent low light pertto my current body.

    My friend is meeting an old school fried for Dinner in a posh restaurant. It turns out the old school friend is a woman, and has grown up to be rather hot. So he feels that he needs to be in control at the meal / post meal drinks despite this not being a date as such, but a couple of singelton years has led him to deleberately under develop his control mechanism – mentally or physically.

    To copy a classic STW thread of the past,

    get the pull my finger gag in early

    e awesome RB211 engine that staff there had involvement with back in the day.

    Let’s just hope that innovating in carbon fibre doesn’t do to Hope what it did to Rolls-Royce back in 1971.

    Love the bike though.

    @Kirky, The bikes is a 56cm if that’s any use to you. First disclaimer, I’ve not had a road bike before so I’ve not even tried to make comparisons. I like the one finger braking and the control on corners. I’m also a big fat bloater so the extra stopping is good on descents, ymmv. I run mine on 28mms and I’m surprised at the comfort on rougher surfaces. It seems to transfer power well and there seems to be some good deals around. This years models hasn’t changed a great deal
