Congratulation on the young one , more fun than biking.Lessen the hours at work, might not be easy financially but cut your sloth accordingly and all that, old guy I worked with told me that when I had kids, “24 hrs in a day son 8 for work 8 for bed and 8 for you”, never quite got to that probably 9 work 7 bed and 8 me. So glad I did as managed to play rugby ,cycle socialize and see lots of the 3 children over the last 20 years. Hope you manage to crack it.

I`d love to lease , but to have someone walk round it with a clipboard and pen after Mrs S has used it for two years could leave the family bankrupt! Shame as its never her fault :-)

Another putting machine off the sister-in-law could be breaking point, had 3 so far in last 10 years and I do not play golf!

That much thought goes into it she obviously forgets :-)

Oh i`m also nearly down to the bottom row of leather wallets in my wallet drawer!

Might struggle without his van!!

Will he have time to knock one out in those 250 mile days?

Jaws and Planet of Apes 1968

Was he not just chasing a Staffy?

Snapped my 2003 Trek liquid 30 right there and right through top tube 2″ in front of seat, I bought it second hand and Trek would not honor the lifetime warranty, only valid with the original buyer, what a load of crap, anyways I turned two 7075 Aluminium hollow inserts and lined the frame up , then got a mate to weld up burning into the insert as well as the frame. rode it hard on everything Lake District for another few years with little more than a few creaks!! I eventually stripped it and rebuilt a xs MTB for my son with the parts and scrapped the frame only because I did not want it to fail on someone else.

doris I get home at 4.35 so finish about 4.55 :-)

49 years old and last few months started to look forward to getting home from work , just making a coffee and sit and do nothing for half an hour, and actually enjoy it, would of previously rushed some job or task in!!

Sent an email Harry.

Hi Harry got one of these ,Marin Bayview Trail 24 excellent condition I know its not new but you could always have a look if we could tie in with no obligation to buy. I would rather it went to someone off here than any old ebayer, let me know if you are interested.I have a load of photos on my phone ready to list it but just not got round to it.
Here it is.

Scoring in front of Kop at 17 yrs old, how good a feeling must that be!!

mountainman does the wife`s nose actually work?

esselgruntfuttock, it is a smell you will never forget!

3-0 Liverpool , Mane and Origi will be too good up top for Leeds :-) hopefully.

This time every year, load the loft with poison and off they go to drink and die, in a barn with a small beck running through garden so prevention is a thankless task,mate had them dead under the floor and the smell is absolutely awful!! Best of luck!!

Mike Peters, done it for the last 30 years so think I can manage another 30 :-)

I’m so close to buying a Dune… I’ve always wanted to try a fat bike and the value seems pretty good.

I need to stop looking at this thread!
One in the classifieds looks good value for money if you live anywhere near Derbyshire so you can do a cash deal after viewing.

Lessons before could well spoil the trip, if all his friends are non-skiers then they will all be in the same group due to their ability, if he becomes fairly competent he may be up a group with those who have been before and if they are really good they can end up with a group of 2 or so with an instructor and miss all the laughs.
A good set of gloves and a cheaper pair in the pocket is always a good idea if they get wet before lunch.
Best holidays ever he will love it.

Good jacket.

10K waterproof, was £160+, Austria could still be cold if you get a bad week.
Buy the best you can get, a cold and wet kid is going o have an awful holiday, a dry and warm kid is going to be addicted forever, good gloves are an absolute must,tee shirts and hoodies or tracksuits will leave him damp underneath, only my opinion and looking at all the above not the right one, sent my kids away with the above in mind and they`ve all had a blast!

Best mate became a full on racing roadie about 5 yrs back, we still speak.

Don`t wish i still had this as i still have it, Spent hours trying to clock it :-)

Get it bought now , he will soon be choosing :-)

Hi Goldigger , i saw that its now another £100 off at Leisure Lakes and mines sat here untouched,lol Im 510″ bought a medium 17.5″, i need to ride it it`s a beauty! interest free credit , cheaper than a good mobile a month, get it bought!!

Simple but brilliant , think it is still at my mums with perished bumpers :-)

Morning mrlebowski, I’m confused ,did you read the thread title?

They can be great fun one day and a nightmare the next getting you into all sorts of trouble, and probably best if you don`t let strangers stroke it when you are out and about!

You`ve just done it sirromj, “thanks for all your answers really appreciate them” :-)
I just think you wouldn`t ask someone a question and just walk off in a normal situation.

Crazy Taxi, lost hours and hours to it :-)

He’s 6, I’d be more concerned that he was happy and enjoying school at that age, school’s probably worried that he’s not going to be focused for the sex education and careers talks next week!!

Pretty sure i`ve had to use a 2mm out on the road for the lockring on a Sram Red BB30 cranks?

Monday to Friday excellent, a glass at following times 7.00,7.30, 10.00, 12.30, 3.00 , 5.00, sadly once i`m home i start grazing on crap for the night, Sat/Sun all over place,can forget to drink for hrs.

You`re bordering on teetotal :-)

People who start a topic with a question and then never write on it again once people have took time to answer, oh and people that write on threads that they have no interest in whatsoever instead of moving on

I’d be happy with the Cooper S , not greedy

Dads Renault 18 way back, was an absolute lottery what lights came on the back in the rain , you’d indicate and the brake lights come on , brake and the reversing light came on , lad at work had a Megane only problem I ever remember was sun roof passing water which he fixed with works 2″ sellotape !!

Thanks to the mod who moved it to the correct forum ,there would have been some bargains with a stronger pound looking at the guides!!

Sputnik , that is a belter!!
