    I just built a set of wheels with the 719's, easy to build a good round wheel

    Highly recommended typical Mavic I guess

    Hope they work well with 2.25's unlike the 717's but will 2mm make that much differance

    I have both the Kaff and pompino

    Ignor the lables 725 etc the Kaff rides so well it is almost comical especially compared to my Shitespeed opps I mean litespeed

    I had a Argos custom Audax bike which I sold because the Kaff is a nicer riding bike

    Dunno where you live but I am in Devon if you want to try one

    lets be honest relationships are hassle at times, it is realy just how much hassle you are willing to accept.

    But it does sound like you are on the rebound and maybe you just want to be wanted ( it is only natural)

    BUT!!!

    Good luck with which ever direction you decide to go but listen to Munqe-chick she speaks alot of truth

    As someone who has dealt with BG in a professional capacity (nothing to do with servicing boilers) I can safely say they are a bunch of sharks. Not much more so than any big company, but sharks all the same.

    As above I worked for BG as a service engineer and I was bollocked on a regular basis for not selling "giving best advice" BG products

    Told em to stuff the job up there arse and collect the van after one "chat " too many

    They promote scare tactics at team meetings and preying on the trusting and unsuspecting customers which boosts the engineers quodos points which gives gift vouchers etc in return commission bascically

    I think the track you are on about runs the side of the golf club across coate water along the side of the motorway over the curly bridge and up to chiseldon

    IIRC most of it was sign posted to Marlborough (but I did move to Devon 5 years ago)

    The woods at the back of the Nationwide HQ were always a bit of a hoot but your best bet is to go out with Red Planet Bikes if they still do there tuesday night rides.

    I have just looked at the link from the above post well done guys

    For real riding sorry you have got to move

    please do not think I condone no insurance but think as a kid

    WTF would be your attitude

    And my lad WOULD have his car taken from him if he tried, believe me

    Is it really that hard to work out the difference? On a provisional he's going to be supervised by somebody supposedly responsible, and likely to drive carefully. After he's passed he'll be off on his own showing off to his mates. I presume he did tell his insurance (and pay the extra) when he passed?

    Yes you are right, but to be fair he has passed his test etc, but why bother with insurance with such pathetic penalties.

    Except I will kick his arse from here to eternaty and take his car from him and he knows I will ( saladdodger leave the irriot mode and enteres adult mode)
