I have always want a business name with ‘superleggera’ in it. Although I think Touring having something to say about it.

It is simple. Do not give them the keys. There, free legal advice.

Welcome.

*Can do 4 bikes/2 people and stuff in a 206.* – you both take a spare with you just in case njee :wink:

Inside or on back. Rarely up top, but just because I just dont trust myslelf not to absent mindedly zoom into a height restriction…..

However, FWIW I think those expensive Thule top thingys are the least faff option for 2 + bikes.

Prices have stagnated, they can only go up

The return of the property speculatordreamer…

In which case yes, I think its a good time to buy, and I am.

Fixed rates for 5 yrs went up a few weeks ago.

Prices have stagnated, they can only go up. I am talking significant variations not the 1% monthly variation evyerone goes on about.
As soon as prices go up the difference in cost in upsizing is magnified. So now is good time to upsize bad time to downsize.
I just fixed at 3.5% for 5yrs, I dont see a real downside to that.

Dead right its a faff, but you have spent ‘000s on camera, ‘000s on ‘puter and software and a photo capable printer, so instead spend an hour traipsing into town to spend 20 getting someone else to do it.

At the same time you could pay someone to ride the bike you spent ‘0000s buying to save you that effort as well.

House prices round me are going up, dramatically. The different price layers have been affected differently but in general house prices are not going to drop significantly again.

Yes

What’s new about that then? That kind of self aggrandisement happens all the time in teh world, in fact it worked for Thrust SSC – they were the first to ‘officially’ break the sound barrier on land, but not the first to actually do it (see Budweiser Rocket/Stan Barrett).

+1 crikey, lashed or not.

You haven’t learned your internet lesson, just swapped chatting to ‘girls’ for middle aged middle england bike geeks.

The problem is not you and her, it is YOU and your head. We all have demons and you are going to have to face them.
Some sock pulling required.
You f*****d it up, its not the end of the world and you can sort it out. Just take a deep breath when you wake up tomorrow, face the world positively and take some action.

Google – top tips for positive mental attitude, and its all possible fella.

Sorry, but there you go I am still a child myself…

’ello ‘ello

*sorry too tempting*

My daughter is 8 and on the smaller side. She rides a 24″ Hotrock full susser. She isnt a massively confident rider (thinks the FSR is to soften the bump from the kerb) and had the choice of her old 20″ hotrock and the 24″. She abandoned the 20″ immediately.

Ergo – get a 24″. They come up on Gumtree fairly regularly for between £40 and £120 (the price are entirely random).

i’m in.

introduce me as your legal advisergimp who will be handling your estate after your imminent death. I’ll turn up wearing a Onesie.

com’on, get with the plan :wink:

I’ve spoken to them on the phone. Instead of a cancelled contract, I’ve ended up with an hour’s personal training on Monday.

How the hell did that happen?

They are trained in sales technique – you are not trained in resisting sales technique

Or walk into the women’s changing area wearing only a towel, or not even wearing a towel. They’ll probably cancel the contract for you.

Brilliant. Get you own back. Meticulously plan some convoluted Borat/Mr Bean style escapade that involves you running amok with a whole raft of supposedly innocent but massively offensive things, babbling the whole time like demented chicken.

Ideally, get a mate to GoPro it and post the footage – pretty please?

*If you get arrested – this is just a suggestion not advice*

I reckon I have spent around 1.5k in the classifieds over the last year and a half. Bought laptop, phone, frames x2, forks, wheels x6, brakes

I have not had a single serious issue, but I do my homework on history etc.

Leave the result of the transaction as a post on their thread.

Good point, must do this

NSX – fantastic but too sanitised
TVR but Tuscan, Griffith or T350
Mazer 0 stylish

The rest are for chavs not men. Honda S2000 is excellent but like a TT it is for girls.

That’s a handy feature for getting out of hot water right there :D

OK OK sorry sorry, mustn’t *scan* OPs

What size front mech clamp do you have? Its the same as that, most likely 34.9 on an ally frame

+1 Bolle

Ah, brill. I’ll try Lidl and if no joy email you. Ta

Whaaaat. Is there an epidemic at the moment? iDave – misdameanour offence, then (un)RealMan – fauldulent misdescription, and now Mark H***** -unlawful witholding of funds.

Its a jungle in the Classifieds and no mistake.

If its built in 1900 then its unlikely to have a DPC. Whats it got to do with DPC anyway? Downpipe leaked – damp not rising damp. Render wont have anything to do with it unless there is driven rain, most likely damaged by the leaking downpipe.

I dont know scottish law, but as a general rule in these circumstances external/fabric REPAIRS are join responsibility. Adding a DPC where none exists is IMPROVEMENT, so not join resp. You are only liable for internal damage where you have a duty or responsibility for maintenance of the fabric and have failed in that (as distinct from just a liability to pay for such maintenance). I cant see any positive responsibility there unless scottish law provides.

In any event, he must have noticed it as much as anyone else and did nothing, you are not liable for his inaction.

I suggest ‘see you in court’

You da man. Just Googling this problem and ta-da there it is.

So 2 Q’s, 1. did you need the comprssion tool shown 14 to put the spring back, and 2. any chance you can donate me a couple of ‘o’rings (I ‘as got a J3 and a J4) or tell me where you got the kit from?

Cheers

We have a Siesta, it moves up and down a fair bit (quite often the tyres hit the underside) but feels safe enough.

Although I found this to be a very effective brake and my kids moaned like hell about the dramatic noise and vibration right under their a**e 8O

Or a bar bag. MrsD’s bike has a basket on the front which her bag and stuff goes in which evens it out a bit

… but also makes the steering canal barge slow in those ‘need to turn a bit quick’ moments

I think you just have to get used to it, sound like you are used to holding your bike to the side a bit when standing.
2 other pointers, check the foot rest hight – easy to foul the back of your feet when trying to give it the beans, esp if you pedal on the ball of your foot or are lanky like me. Also be careful of setting seat too low, they bounce and on a big bump or bump at speed, can easily hit the rear tyre.

Seller described the brakes as..

Used, but very very good condition, don’t think they have any marks or real signs of wear on them anywhere

then replies to the thread stating that

I still would describe the brakes as being in very good condition.

Classifieds decription of very very good is standard language for immaculate.
If you give something a premium description to get a premium price, then had better be.
Its not a matter of opinion, they are not VVGC. In fact ANY damage whatsoever is not VVGC.

So, lets see how accurate the sellers forum name is REAL MAN UP AND PAY UP

*feels bad, schedules trip to post office in the morning*

You still not sent this Dave?

iDave seems to have all the skills for working in customer service

Spares box special perchance?

Just like Rover parts, cant get them for love or money now :roll:

Just to reinforce the stereotype and turn on my own creed, someone sent me this today…

Thieving Lawyers

Should we start a thread on which shares to buy now?

Growing up, this was my dad’s sideline – most people paid cash and it was odd how many needed he missus to bring (drag) them along.

Intensly embarrasing to meet people in the pub as a teenager to be told ‘your dad gave my dad the snip’

He once did a neighbour’s on the kitchen table…

being shown numerous duplex vas deferens left a bad impression

Stay in your (Ti) comfort zone Joe – you know you want a Lynskey really. :wink:

So, what was today’s mule?

Also any driver that adds one of those stupid exhausts on to their tiny engined crapbox of a car to make an annoying racket, sole purpose to annoy everyone else who has to suffer the din. Thinking about it, they should be named Fred exhausts

Years ago on a Japan island, walked through a tunnel and then heard this very very loud exhaust noise like a straight through exhaust on a classic racing car. Turned round and it was an 800cc Bedford Rascal flatbed with a massive exhaust doing about 40mph!
