As above, I only shot raw so there is always work to be done. I don't tend to do any brushwork unless there's a dust spot or something. Mainly curves and contrast really.

Just re-measuerd and I was a little out. I'm actually 5'8" with a 30" inseam but competitive cyclist fit calculator tells me I need a shortarse top tube between 51.2cm and 52.8 which puts me on the 47cm frame!! Something isn't right is it.

This is how my 52cm Condor used to look

The reach felt ever so slightly long but would have been solvable with a shorter stem. The 52cm JTS is only 70mm longer in the top tube and would have a shorter and higher bar position. The problem is getting a ride on a specific size of frame. They seem rare in shops.

Chest mount has produced some good videos on here in the past. I don't own a camera myself though

Call me stupid but I can't find mentin of Cyclescheme on that page at all, only their own Cycle to Work scheme.

How did you do it? Wiggle accepted CycleScheme vouchers?

atlaz oh absolutely. I'm usually a MySQL guy but dabble in Postgres and Oracle when required, but for a pared down relational DB with SQL and no daemon requirements, this looks awesome.

That's my childhood right there in 3 images.

Wow, never used sqlite before but just downloaded the mac binary and within 2 minutes I'd created a DB, table and inserted a row. Piece of piss. And all you need is a single binary and somewhere to write out a file.

SQLite fits the bill perfectly by the sounds of it.

Thanks Qwerty that's perfect :) It's not as bad as I'd feared. Is that cannondale badboy also yours in the pics? It's a badboy I am hoping to replace with the jake the snake :)

Wife and I both went Platinum. Mine was about 700 and hers about 300 from Tiffany, Bond St. We went with Tiffany as the wedding band matched the engagement ring I got her from there. Platinum prices escalated a couple of weeks after we bought though.

Not a chance. Conti GPs don't mix with 2 inches of snow on Ice. Mid Wales unclassified roads which font get gritted and a lot of steep hills

A LOT sideways, is what I am finding

There's an awful lot of latent penis envy going on in this thread.

NOT an RX8. It's completely the wrong combination of Rear Wheel Drive, Fat tyres, low torque (so starting off in 2nd requires loads of revs, which defies the point).

Wifes Micra in the background has been doing sterling service however. There's something in this light FWD concept.

Doesn't look too bad but we're down low. Wife just aborted journey over the Cambrians to work as it was impassable.

Cool, he named himself after Strider the game. One of my childhood faves.

Early 90s animal black nylon fob with house, garage and d-lock keys plus work locker. Carkeys separate as I don't want to carry them to work as I cycle

About 67th in the waiting list. Doubt there will be that Many cancelations though.

Great to see another ST4 in the wild. Was begning to think I'd bought niche bike for a while!

Look forward to build pics. Red looks nice!

New stays were due to the originals having an incorrect cable guide welded on. Orange replaced with the new box section ones. No chainsuck yet for me.

Front mech is top-pull

Full length gear outers is the configuration of the 2010 frames

I'm running '09 Reba Race's on my 2008 frame with 2010 rear stays and 2010 RP23.

Highly recommend the bike though. I've fallen for mine in a big way. She's an encourageable singletrack weapon capable of anything I'm able to throw it down.

95% built before the rear stays were replaced by Orange

With new stays

Nant-yr-Arian climbe from the car park on Boxing Day morning.

Pretty much all the fire roads in the same state. Must be some trait of the materials which mean they hold water and ice over.

Found my hard copy.

Just found this thread and thought I'd give it closure. Orange took the frame back the following day and replaced the rear stays with 2010 models which has effectively upgraded my 2008 frame with 2010 shock to a full 2010 spec bike :D Fantastic service from Orange, although I had to wait a couple of weeks for Chrome Grey to go through the paint process. It was through wet November so I wasn't that fussed anyway.

It's an orange st4 :)

When I created this pseudonym ('94) for Internet use I used to surf, but from the comfort of a plastic boat… And badly I should add. Can't say I know an alun claire though.

Nant is VERY icy. I've been aroudn the Pendam this morning and all the fire roads are COMPLETELY iced over:

Singletrack is rideable although I can't account for Zoro as we didn't fancy the leg burner if it was an icerink. The top section was bad enough. It's now raining heavily (I live a couple miles away), so I don't know whether this will add to the problem or not.

If it's not too far to drive, then go ahead. It's fun but slow and different. More sketchy icy fun than a good thrashing.

Cheers for the heads up. Purchased both. Rude not to at those prices.

Nant yr Arian first climb. All the fire roads were completely iced over in 1 inch or so of solid ice. Only passable on the mushy verge.

Orange ST4?

Oops sorry, I read 4-5" NOT, 5-6". Ignore me. but left the link in case anyone else interested :)

Am I mad to think I can get from mid Wales to Essex tomorrow via the m54 m6 m1 and m25? Heading to Chelmsford way for a wedding on weds.

Alexandra sold 576,000 in the first week (Christmas) in 2008. Joe sold 450,838. Lean to google, troll

Just before getting into bed last night I glimpsed out of the bedroom window to find my car 8 feet down the drive from where I had left it. 2 days of ice buildup under the hail surface layer and a few degrees incline was enough to move it it seems

Born in Toronto. Brought up in Twickenham. Returned to Canada (calgary) to lead canoe expeditions for a couple of summers and have been settled in Aberystwyth mid Wales ever since (14 years). Perfectly settled now. Doubt we will ever leave

Chicken Tika Pathia with garlic rice and peshwari naan. Must learn to do pathia at home.

Is that your voice Ed? You sound nothing like what I expected for some reason.

Sorry I forgot to look. I will try to remember tomorrow when I am next at home with my HRM. I just googles for the model number or serial number from the back thought IIRC. Might have saved a copy though.

Curry+beers for the Ystwyth MTB club christmas meal last night but the real deal (works do) starts in 1 hour. Wish me luck!
