real cycles are the people to ask for this

+1 wordpress if you use a decent host you can install it on your server and use it as a proper web doamin so you don’t have to use the .wordpress.com

Lots of stuff on the wrodpress sit about how to do it etc, just done it for a mate and he is well pleased as he can uplad pics and write his news on and it looks okay…

dunno but it is my birthday 🙂

sadly I am not 11 but a bit beyond that

are there any preorder offers? i have long waited for something for my thumb to do…

nothing here either, must give them a ring…

sennen cove. dogs okay

that is all

My snow plans are now officially over…

Last years trip to Alpe D’Huez ended suddenly (literally) with 5 broken vertebrae…

Looks like my days on the snow are over, however, if anyone wants a cheap set of Ride MIG bindings let me know 🙂

i have felt down all week…

never met him…but…

he had something, he had an edge, how was different, he was not intimidated by the aliens, the spat with lorenzo at the press conference summed him up, when he pauses and says “i will be arrested” turns and wryly smiles at the audience…perfect..

I had it on on sunday, but was playing dollies with my daughter, saw the aftermath, saw the helmet and thought oh dear, but when i saw it was Sic suddenly i felt awful…my daughter at 2 1/2 sensed something and asked if i was okay and would the man be okay who fell off his motorbike…..

awful day, awful week, motogp will be a duller place now

RIP #58

a bike that fitted properly…priceless

his cupboard appears to back onto an entire waitrose store or something ..and why is everything wrapped in greaseproof paper?

coarse wet and dry and some elbow grease?

believe me it had crossed my mind! but i need to take 12mm off, so i reckon it’d be after the clocks go forward by the time i’d finished..

mainstream is the new niche

well, the post is in the “Bike Forum” so surely it must be a bike of sorts…

4in travel full suspension 30 speed 26″ wheels?

nowt to do with me but there’s a kinesis convert 2 with horizontal dropouts on the classifieds for under your budget…

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/darkside-frame-kinesis-decade-convert-2

well i went after a swift visit to the debenhams blue cross sale, so it was;

mantaray shirt (£18 reduced from £36
Gap straight legged wool trousers ((ith a carhatt belt)
dark brown skechers boots…

job done…

however the host was in a black suit, black shirt black tie (that lasted one hour!)

The hostess however had some sort of gown on that looked like something you would wear to a dinner dance.

However, by far the most common outfit for th emen was Clarkson chic jeans shirt suit jacket combo (with those funny brown suede loafers??

Hungover today so must have enjoyed it 🙂

Thanks for all the advise and amusing fashion tips…off to the garage to fettle me bike now in “streetwear” i believe

Skinny jeans?
Not if you’re hetro over 12 stone

there, that makes more sense

I know, even better news is some old work colleagues are going including someone I had to ‘let go’ a while back…

off to the rose website I think 🙂

good point….a suddenly ill child could mean..

chinos, really! do they still make them?

okay so clothes i haven’t got for a party for people i hardly know..worn in a way that i feel uncmfortable in..

there goes the new brakes budget

might just go in shorts and a t-shirt in protest

really looking forward to it now

shirt tucked in?

annoyingly slow 🙂

think the nerve am and xc frames stay the same, new paint jobs and more 2×10, their facebook page has a few pics of the nerve am, and when i emailed them about stock they said mid october so probably very soon…

13 years in, several roles, no industry qualifications, well paid…

yep thats me signed up for the institution…not sure how it happened tbh

just got a broken one on the classisfied as i had a broken trailtech Hid with good bulb and ballast.

However, the trailtech ones (same as Lumi used) have the lens and reflector built in, the L&M one has a seperate reflector and uses the clear glass in the can for the lens so the two are not intercangeable.

SO off to LED conversion world it is for me unless someone can sugges and L&M bulb supplier for less than £30??

so I have my LEd board, my optic, my driver, just struggling to find a heatsink without resorting to machine shops..

PLanning on using my old rush (trailtech) hid housing, so could do with a decent waterproof switch with an LED and rear mounted…

Done the usual searches but can’t find anything at rapid RS etc so would appreciate any tips and pointers for UK suppliers…

does anyone understand the canyon stock status on the website, nerves out of stock but expected Wk37?? why can’t i order one and get it then or are there no more till the 2012 bikes ??

ha ha unfortunately i need the iron to stand up 🙂

an its titanium don’t you know, probably Lynskey

indeed that was what i was hoping for, may be able to avoid a push fit BB if i’m lucky 🙂

Even Canyon have a couple of hundred off at the moment….

credit card is twitching…

“let’s just give this a lght touch”

“i don’t have the bandwidth for this right now”.

farley mount, crawley, alresford ox drove, the HCC trails are quite good, lots of stuff to explore

parcel monkey through quidco, and you can get £4 cash back as well (much later i’ll grant you but still get it back eventually!)

been off since march with 4 broken vertbrae as a result of a snowboarding incident..

rode the wifes hybrid round a camp site a few weeks ago and it felt okay if not brilliant and then rode my fixie round the car park which was surprisingly more comfortable..

Just waiting for a CT scan in september to make sure all my metal work has bone growing round it…

boring…

we did it in two and a bit days, camped at Washington first night, then YHA in Alfriston second day leaving a leisurely bimble into eastbourne for fish and chips on the sea front, then the train home….

Alfriston is a nice spot to stop, YHA is cheap and a pub in walking distance and secure bike storage…

Thorouighly enjoyed it, mainly because we had no plans and no dealines, if i was rushing the bit where my rack broke may have been more of a concern, but as it was it was a great weekend…plus we went wrong quite a few times on the navigation front

Think On One have no stock of the steel inbred, not sure if they are going to make more, they seem focussed don their carbon frames at the mo…

Always tur up on the classifieds or ebay now and again, just sold mine for £90

inbred 29er has rack mounts that can be used with the discs as they are on the chainstays..

oh and just to be clear the CB i was wearing was a SnoDome, so no rucksack part, which had a little less padding in it than things like my M.U.L.E and H.A.W.G

just to be clear i had nothing in my pack but the bladder. and it was the filler going through my spine as i felt it, plus where my vertebrae broke was high up between my shoulder bladed where the filler sits, i did land hard on it but once i am fixed i will be swapping my CB bladders for something else with no hard plastic. Not trying to scaremonger here but just making people aware of what could happen if you are unlucky like me…

I would look at ones without any large hard filling spouts…..

if you fall hard on a solid filler they can do serious damage….

i have two rods, ten screws and a cage in my spine to prove this…

we arranged a chopper bike tour on the synday we were there and it was excellent. Started at the bottom of the ramblas and went across the harbour down the beach, up to the bull ring, and then pn to the other sites. 3 beers included and we had a very informative guide…

The bikes hadn’t seen oil in a while and mine was an 8ft long low rider with shonky brakes but the locals did not seem to bat an eye lid at 12 40 year olds riding on the pavement…even had a race through a park…quite mad
