I dont think they are listening LoCo!!

Pigface, yup the guy I bought the RM off has masses of bikes, some of which I have never seen before, (I am old & been involved since 78), nearly all unrestored but in good to mint condition, his passion is the CR & appears to have every model up to about 1984.

His passion is now his business, but my RM came out of his personal collection. Its just being re-commissioned now & a set of Ohlins fitted.
Watch this space I will do a Twinshock thread again once I have had chance to race it

Pigface, not sure its not mine, I think its a 250 also 1980 RA model I think… They are the owned by the bloke I bought the RM off, if your in the market for anything CR of that vintage he is the man.

The orange bike in the background is the rare one an Aspes.

LHS Nice…

I dont have any car pictures, though I have had a few in the past, but here is my new toy, I dont care if it fits the thread I am excited!!!!

1980 Suzuki RM125..

Did anyone catch the show where Ray Mears nearly had a heart attack trying to climb a rope, they let him keep trying for ages, then just seemed to scrap the idea & the shot, as he was never going to reach the top…. EVER.

Its only telly if you dont like them you can always watch something else.

Bike tick, woods tick.

I have never had a road bike*, I like the threads. *I have a Raleigh Pursuit on permanent loan somewhere.

These made mine to my drawing, but do off the peg too, & installation is in the price I beleive (sort your own base though) Top quality stuff.

You need one that is really local though rather than just south east I reckon.

Soobalias, if you want extra security but dont mind a bit extra cost, you can fit double glazed french doors, lot less than you think & easy to fit… BUT… you need the doors first & the shed made to fit em as obviously bespoke french doors are a lot.

You are TJ & I claim my £5. 8O

I like it when a thread gets an ending, glad you had a great day OP.

Expand please… wiki has failed me.

If it wasn’t for the french navy it would just be a forest. How dull.

Much… good race Vuelta. :-)

There was quite a lot of Vuelta action last year on here, but it didnt have the nice structured start that you gave the threads RM.. :-)

all the stages on the Vuelta are the same aren’t they?
mountain pass > steeper mountain pass > even steeper mountain > mountain bike cassette steep mountain > 30% summit finish

Yes thats generally the format, you missed sprints finishes & TT though, its not quite the same in Holland however.

RealMan, no chance of same again for Vuelta? I know its a lot to ask but the threads were that good.

It never fails to surprise me how some threads can just disintegrate into a bitch fight.

Oh that & you started it!!

I think they are, yes

An I’m a physicist, I’ve got a degree and everything, so nar nar nee nar nar

loddrik, I have just PM you.

My brother managed to shoot his own finger (air gun), stupid if it was a pistol, but it must have taken quite some effort with a rifle.

My dad once asked me to cut the elctric cable on an old storage heater I was keen to impress & get the cable the perfect length for the new position, but why did I leave it plugged in?

Part of me want to see the fingers K issue!!!

Just seen this on the show me your road bikes thread, I think you will regret selling it looks ace.

If however you determined to sell & can rustle up enough bits (any old stuff) to turn it into a bike I wouldnt mind first dibbs on it.

No idea on value though sorry.

Scruffy, its not likely to be the shifting pins the chain wont be anywhere near them, must be one of the other ideas above.

did you put the middle chainring on the right way round when you switched to single chainring bolts?

I would check this first.

Multispace or multipla?

Must be the Multipla, if so yeah, they are flipping great cars, you need the diesel one, you need the ELX so you get Air con.

Watch out for front wishbones, rear radius arms, rear subframe mounts, all can be expensive unless you do your research & then they are all relatively cheap to fix.

Engines run with minimal servicing just keep the oil fresh.

Its the boars RH front leg…

Thanks Realman, the threads were ace.

anyone elses eurosport player gone pop?

EDIT, all back again.

Whats your favourite looking bike on the Tour?

Garmins Cervelo is mine.

I am going to say it again, Porte was just brilliant yesterday.

I hope he gets a GC crack at Vuelta for his efforts.

Contador goes up in my opinion daily, he does not know what giving up is.

Cracking Tour.

Todays prediction Contador goes for it on Col de la Madeleine.

Riblon..

Do you think he mudded himself?

Wow, who’s given Schleck an injection of go-faster juice?

I think he may have read the rubbishing he took on STW & is showing us what he can do…

Flippin idiot supporters in the way.

Nah just a pirate…

What are Roche & Paulinho doing? There must be a Saxo plan, but you would have thought they would be sticking with Contador… What am I missing in the tactics plan?

Already talk of only doing ADH once if the weather plays a part.

Rocky mountain hubs or bought in?

TV, never manages to show speed too well, there was a short clip the other day where the camera appeared stationary (for a change) & the bunch were rounding a hairpin going up, it was steep, & they were flying.

You are right of course, but pretty calculated at the time.

I was thinking more of stage 9 when he was alone & still responded to everything.

Rocky Mountian dont make wheels so it sounds a bit weird, a servicable part from a usual wheel brand should just be fixed under warranty. However thats just my opinion, anything could be happening!

Junkyard, I just dont think Froome thinks that way, as has been said he is quite the animal on the bike, he covers every tiny manouvre, this may well be a bad thing, but so far he has not shown even a small weakness.

I thought that… Not sure I am taking TDF seriously enough, next year I am taking the day off for this one too.

I take back my previous comment, superb ride. Contador even nodded approval.

yup, very wet now, he cant win back time in that without an engine let alone a different bike.

Its OK I think Eurosport are saying 2nd split twice, not sussed there are 3 I think thats the issue.
