here's my '05 FR. It's like an AM but more MAN!! Spectacular long haul bike.

Decathlon-overtrouser-tastic!! £15

I'll need some clippy thingies, but hey-hoo.

christ from Reddish the world is yer ostrich! you could Cahdkirk-Marple-Strines or you could canal path out to Dizz and beyond. Hayf is doable 🙂

Will keep an eye out in the middle of Stock-town. I reckon you're probably best going to Levenshulme on market day.

4bikes, did they have a van or summit?

Some blerk in classifieds has got a Lupine Edison 5 for sale. I think they're great but new bulbs aren't cheap.

suddenly I have "dark means danger, so get yuorself seen" running round my head

Just had a look. Nothing obvious in the gutter from the Blossoms down to the Lambo garage. I did see one white carrier in a layby, could that be it?

I'll have a peruse around the Greek Street lights.

I have a 38t Middleburn DH ring and a fixed front mech. The chain has NEVER come off despite much abuse. I run a 11-34 on the back.

love it

bugger, i forgot the missus is off to see Willy Young on Sunday night 🙁

bah-humbug!

I have the Elixir R's. **** spectacular!!!! £159 for the pair on Merlin.

Reddish Vale it is! lol Pondering a Sunday nighter instead.

over a thousand posts for 4 pics!!!! Next time you can't sleep, go and stick some more up. Your audience demands more 🙂

blah blah all the best blah blah 🙂

The Edale one doesn't open till 10:30 or something bonkers like that. Myself and IJH had to face Jacob's minus some dead pig in bread 🙁

I punch quite a big hole in the air so normally find roadies sat behind me for a cheeky free spin. Once I'm sure they're cog watching I make sure I ride over every bump, drain, dead hedgehog I can find. Oh oooh and horse pooh is great when it's flung off your rear wheel.

They don't hang about at this point and cruise psat me. As they do I normally comment in my MOST gay-ist voice ever, "neeeooowwwww, ooh you're ever so fast".

makes me giggle 🙂

I'm up for something in the darkness. Will probably do Dizz/Mellor/Strines from my house if I remember to charge my lights.

Weather forecast is super-shitty for much else. Don't fancy being up top in this wind.

what FBJ says

was open a few months back

IJH also sampling

ooohh Airfix! happy days.
re: 3am can't sleep problem. Can I send over my end of month invoicing for you to do?

Went to a local memorial here. The local youff past by quietly, which surprised everyone. However a group of 4 college girlies screamed and laughed when the cannon went off.

Oh go on then….I've been on 3 episodes of 'Prank Patrol'. All with speaking parts. Me'n'Barney are like that.
I once got John Simm to leave a message on the missus answer phone.
I know Craig Maclean, (great guy).

these jokes are awful, I should ban-she who is known as Theresa from ever being mentioned

half way up Jacobs at about 9am, glorious!

look mum, no mudguards!

I never clean my brakes unless I've got oil/lube on 'em by mistake. In which case I spray citrus degreaser on and then wash in hot water/fairy liquid. Squeal like billy-oh for about a mile but then back to normal.

200 x 57 is what you need. Mine (Dec05) came with a Romic T2. There's plenty-o-choice on CRC. Roco TST would be my choice but a Fox RP3 will do the job. Just make sure it's 200x57mm.

edit: personally I would stick with a coil but each to their own

lol at sv
Most light fittings use 3.5mm if you want a quick fix. You might have to saw them down to size but they're readily available from those that mong irons, cheap as fried potatoes as well.

another vote for superglue

I wasn't troll baiting, honnest. I'm mega skint but need new wheels so thought I go and 'ave a look after reading the review in t'mag.
Junkyard -got any salt'n'vinegar?
My stash of spares has finally run out so it looks like I'll have to sit out until Father Christmas empties his sack in my direction. I need to spend my beans wisely so I'd rather go for the Hope Pro 2's than buy something twice from SSC.

cheers all

My watch is dual powered (solar/battery). Am I a lesbian?

I bleddy luvz me 32" Bravia

I'm a righty but I'm not gay……..

……most of the time

Could the thwack of the bat on your chest caused this in anyway?

I've noticed Nicolai's getting alot of stick recently (from the lower echelons). I have the pleasure of being aloft a Helius FR and I flipping loves it. Only ever seen one other FR and a CC on the trails.

IIiiiiiiiii fferkINg luuvve your yyyouuuurrr m my my bezt mmaate.

[hip flask now empty of scrumpy, I'm sucha puff]

let the sanitizing begin!

If in doubt, just ask yourself what would Chuck Norris do?

Keep roundhouse kicking this thing in the nadgers, you're doing better than you think.

We got a cheapo Ravensheat from B&Q when we lived in a 2up2down terrace. Seemed to do the job ok.

don't get too hung up on ml and bmi. TRHjnr would only take enough to satisfy his hunger and then refuse to take anymore. If they're still smiling and giggling then they're probably fine. They'll feed more when the next growth spurt comes along.
