Album was greenday – dookie
Single not entirely sure

Sorry for the slight hijack, was about to ask something similar. would it be big enough for bivvying/bothying? Am also thinking of a small rack for a drybag? Any thoughts

Aberdeen beach

South bank:

do you have nhs24 where you live. I had a similar problem but phoned them and they pointed me in the direction of getting an emergency appointment. 1.15 today and not really looking forward to it.

Get a suspension fork instead. I dont ride rigid though i have, and I can keep up with the club i ride with and i have no gears.

Or brains but that is another story. 😀

try here, no idea of price Crisp

Consensual Cross-fertilisation– is this dogging by another name?

And i hate “value added”

The lecht rocks: yes tyrebagger surprisingly dry and also, grippy, though maybe i was just having a good day.

What: Cotic simple ss
Where: kirkhill this morning and a bit of tyrbagger woods thrown in for good measure. got shown some trails i hadn’t been on before. now drinking beer waiting for dinner to cook.
Not a bad snday all in all.

At the moment very windy. loads of good biking on deeside, and also some not too far out of town. Looks lovely when the sun shines, less so when it is all grey, but the clocks go forward soon and evening riding without lights always cheers me up. Drop us an email also if you are heading up.

It just makes me smile, I get a lot of pleasure out of churning out the same gear up down and along. Maybe its coz i’m thrawn, can’t explain it better than that. I like the fact that i don’t hit my derailleur off rocks and bend it. (i did have a geared bike for a while but it became SS) I don’t ride rigid though i might get a fork to use when the suspension is getting serviced/through the winter. And quite close to me there are some hills called the cairngorms which are excellent for experiencing the disadvantages of singlespeeding.

surf wax- the stuff i have smels a bit like refreshers
and camel/marlboro cigarette smoke but only when outside in france.

I do like a stimulaing debate. This more fun than… well actually my missus is looking over my shoulder so i can’t tell oyu about that.

I was going for that idea with the alfine but went to majestic wine shop and spent all m money on ale.

DJglover, is that a penis? How thoughtful of you. 😆

With my legs. 🙂
Gear, single good
gears plural bad

Maybe it has run off with mrs singlespeeddan’s passport as it is awol also. Try down the back of the sofa, thats where mine was. 😕

Tried to help, i am obviously a technophobe too

Park allen key set
Chain tool
some cereal bars
some spare links for the chain on my bike
small spanner for adjusting chain tensioners
water
waterproof depending on weather.
arm warmers and windproof gilet if i’m not wearing it/them
car keys attached to the little hook.
1 toe clip strap for some unfathomable reason
and up until recently my ssuk race number.
once did a ride without checking the main compartment of my bag but wondered why it was heavy. Discovered the cable lock at the end of the ride. Doh
things i usually forget
camera
chain tool/or spare links.

I am also interested in this, can you post any routes when you get back?

Me and mrs singlespeeddan will be there. Provided i remember to register.

What is this ‘dust’ and ‘dry’ that you speak of?
Cotic simples, now also available in mud brown it seems. 😕

primark are doing luminous yellow waterproof (ithink) shell jackets
for a bout 14 quid? Probably not very breathable though.

Biking last summer

Some fancy dress action.
Ska

why is my knee clicking sometimes. Didnt do it before the crash.

And going back to university.

Only if you are a proper ned. So watch it or I’ll stick the heid on ye!
😀

On the way home the other night went round a corner in the wet and dark a bit too fast, (always forget how fast a road bike is) and front wheel slipped out from under me. Mainly bruised knees but did slide along on me helmet, shoulder and face.Could have ben a lot worse as ther are often lorries and forklifts coming and going as it is near the docks.

Mrs singelspeeddan got one of these for a smidge under 600. Forks need to be changedfor lighter springs but it seems pretty sound generally and a good frame. They are prety short on the tt. If you can get one of last years models from somewhere the spec is very good for te money.

singlespeeddan – is this you?

Gears! With my reputation! How very dare you!
😀

Mr agreable-what frame and fork is that? Nice looking bike BTW.

I am very fond of my simple.

we got an agreement in principle from our lender. Tis basically told us how much we could borrow and started looking for a house within that price range. Make sure oyu speak to at least a couple of mortgage advisors before you decide on one as some are willing to help than others.

merino jumpers in aldi at the moment for about £12/14

looked alright.

Me and bike on Bennachie

The hotel with the wast array of whiskies is the craigellachie hotel. Not to put you off but this was a picture fome craigellachie a few days ago

Posted in another thread

cold i bet.

2, Road bike which needs some fettling and a cotic which may develop a hub gear for really long rides

also had both. See the show me your singlespeed thread for pics.

The inbred was a bit flexier around the bottom bracket but mine was getting on a bit by that point and also i am quite big so that probably didn’t help. the head and seat tube angles are slacker on the inbred so i feel that the simple climbs better. However the price of a simple frame is almost the same as most of a fully rigid inbred so as they say, you pays your money and you takes your choice. you wouldn’t be dissappointed with either IMO.

old one

new one

not maintenance as such but setting up spd shoes and cleats hacks me off. I only mention this as its what i’m trying to do right this second.
