I dont like the feel of them. Would soon stick my lights on and get out in the fresh air.

That's not always an option if you've domestics and want to fit in three rides a week.

Have a TV in front of mine, my will power sucks but have managed to keep it warm last six months, more lately with the dark nights. Intervals & HRM are the way to go.

Plus 1 hour turbo is same benefit as 2 hours outdoors. 8)

Buy a cheap wheel put on an old cassette and slick. Thinking about it you could use an old 26er and not have to bother propping up the front end?

I got a Cycleops Fluid 2 and am happy with it, a JetBlack FLUID TURBO TRAINER was recommended in Cycling Weekly recently, looks a good price.

I've some onone equiverlent 130mm / 29er carbon forks, was running on a 26" wheel, lots of rake whatever that means.

Open to offers, might even consider a swap.

What can a P7 do that a Soul couldn't better?

How I Installed a Car Horn On My Bike

Hours of fun to be had with that.

If you're expecting people to pay online then you need an ecommerce solution not just a website.

I'd go to someone who's done this before and can offer the whole service off the shelf. It needen't cost loads (although clearly it's more than doign it yourself) but for payments you need soemthign secure that has a link to proper payment gateway/acquirer.

He already said he doesn't need an ecommerce solution, just a means of accepting payments. Google, Paypal and a dozen others can provide this with buttons and security just by pasting in a few lines of HTML generated in a wizard in your account.

For a professional look take a cue from something off Template Monster and mirror it.

The trick for beginners is to design it completely offline e.g. in word if your are comfortable with that. Then build it with a web design program. Rather than doing both at the same time.

That's the coolest thing ever. :-)

You should leave it there, like a trophy.

In that case just get dreamweaver, watch a you tube tutorial and put up a couple of html pages.

If you are mostly selling stuff might be worth considering a shopping cart website. They are still CMS after install. Take a look as OS Commerce or CubeCart.

Although it depends if you have like say more then 10 products and want to do stock control and stuff to be worth while.

With something like moonfruit you'll be restricted to buy it now buttons which is OK if you are only selling like three things.

Then again I think for proper integration you need professional google check out / SSL or whatever.

Pick the right hosting (Fuzioned) and there will be wizards to install the sites for you.

I say give the guy a break, who hasn't said something stupid you didn't really mean or regretted before, especially if he's nervous talking to the opposite sex.

You should be more more wary of smooth operators.

Unless of course next he starts dropping hints about how you should dress and who you're allowed to be friends with. 8O

the blue and green are the same colour (I checked! twice).

Rotes

Gelb

Schwarz

In that order.

Or that Pipedream blue,

Although baby blue can also look good on the right bike.

Hammer it on dual carriageways but drive ridiculously slow when they end,

Stayed at Traquair Cottage near Cardrona earlier this year, slap bang between Glentress & Interleith. 5 mins from Peebles by car.

Right on the River Tweed, Secluded (3 neighbours), golf course, hotel, shop in walking distance (well 5 mins biking). Backs on to big woods with forest trails, Log fire, garden. The week went pretty quick.

Not too expensive not too cheap. Only hitch was a bat in the bathroom one morning 8O They even had a lock up for the bikes.

Beautiful on the inside, OK fail.

If it was taken late afternoon for example, I doubt very much that it would have been a hedgehog or rat.

I had something very similar looking next to my garage, a week later the kids shouted me over and pointed out a rat on the garden path.

It was about 3pm on a sunny afternoon, just sitting there enjoying the attention, the brazenness of it!

I'd give you 10 to 1 on a Roland. Filling it in wont help. Get some metal bins with tight lids and Warfrin.

Only been once and would say there is plenty more than one days worth. Is a decent trail center, well signposted some good man made bits, bit expensive.

This reminds me of some chav I passed the other day on a muddy fox with a 2 year old tucked under one arm and a carrier bag in the other, nearly coming off riding round a pedestrian along the footpath. That had to be illegal.

You know how some bikes look better in the flesh than the pictures.

Well I took a look at an event at Dalby not so long ago.

Erm, no.

wOt a waste of time, I thought this was about hunting, fishing building shelters.

Alone in the wild, more like Moan in the wild. God forbid if he'd had any dependants.

Those hotel scenes were like a bad come-down.

DHL are German aren't they, and probably the cheapest.

I can second that shifters etc work fine, bit stiff sometimes but works.

I notice the 2010 prices are a bit higher, I only wanted to spend £500 but stretched to about £550 I think.

Might be worth checking round e.g. Ribble they have greater than bottom campag bikes 600ish:

And an audax range that would probably handle canal paths?

Got mine about 4 or 5 months ago, first ever RB and have gone from a twice a month rider to 3 times a week. Am over 1k miles now of back roads I never knew existed.

Its an entry level RB and does the job, feels a little harsh at times but nothing much to compare against. Believe it's about 24lbs.

Naturally I'm now looking to upgrade when work sort out the B2W, mainly because I want something to do some light touring on and maybe a little lighter, and just like thinking about new stuff. If it wasn't for the touring I'd stick with it and just upgrade the parts.

The wholly predictable consequence of such a law is that some cyclists will take even more risks with the traffic in the knowledge that the law is on their side regardless.

Hmmm that makes sense. Of course there is no law, not even one being considered. This is a non story about a made up story and just blatant baiting. Can't say I've read more than half a dozen daily mails in my life but I never realised they'd sunk as low as this.

Just a Monday filler that might generate some links. What have they to lose, their reputation?

Noticed a lot of Cube's in Germany recently, mostly road bikes. Bit bling but can't be anything wrong with them if there that popular?

Liking blood at the moment;

Or maybe cream / stone.

Seems to me this is all totally subjective to terrain, distance and road condition.

My current average round a 15 mile local loop door to door is an hour on the RB and + 5 mins / 1mph on a MTB with semi-slicks. But I can 'sustain' >20mph on the flat bit for a couple of miles near the end relatively smoothly.

It's not that easy making up for 8mph climbs with the state of the back roads where I live even on the downhills.

Used to get them issued every 6 months when I worked outdoors. Melted in the summer, froze solid in the winter, and not exactly breathable.

The only two things going for them like some on mentioned was they doubled as a motorbike jacket, and they were pretty tough thorn proof and never snagged.

You can spot the fakers because they wear ones that always look brand new.

Or the classifieds.

You steala my baike, I breaka you face!

:lol:

also id be doing this ride on a cotic soul whats the best way to carry your gear?

Carradice Camper & barbag. Managed to get up the hills and hit 37 going down without feeing too stressed.

Had an MG Mk2, rode great felt like it could handle anything, especially downwards. Same geometry as PA but with the Ti 'calmness'.

Sold now, don't think I'd have done a straight swap for a 456. Got the 853 version (a Soul).

Now series linked, cheers.

Hitler just never gets old.

I reckon most of the large of everything got sold out before lunchtime, managed to resist the bibs.

Shame about the shoes will have to stick with the Lidl anvils.

Had a 'feels like someone is stabbing a pen in to an open wound' back of the knee episode on the last 10 miles of a C2C recently.

Put it down to steep hills heavy load. Was really stiff for 48 hours especially morning, then completely fine. But did lower the seat half an inch. Just before that a calf problem training just after swapping cleats on to new shoes. Put them further back and again fine.
