Not mine but like mine –

Brant – any chance that you could really over order on the Scandal 29er Swap-Out Frame V2
Size : 19.5inch
Colour : Super Raw ? 🙂

Red and white ain’t too good either –

I’ve just read all of this thread…………this is how I feel-

It’s not just the lenses that have died – the wires in the adjustable arms now poke through the rubber, rendering them quite dangerous. 😐

1998 Pine Mountain with Exotic carbon forks, 48/34 chainset,11-25 cassette, slicks – takes care of commuting duties. Splendid frame. Wish I could get hold of a later, disc mounted version.

Mrs Sox got a bunch of flowers and a card this morning – we don’t usually do Valentines – “oh, what a lovely suprise”, she said.
“Not as much of a surprise as the new Synapse that I’m going to wheel in on Saturday”, I thought. 😉

Easton Haven 85mm (black) – put on bike but never ridden so, effectively, brand new. £40

Last series was excellent, looking forward to this.

Looks nice, K57. Still regret selling my S/S.

Personally I’m more bothered that you overworked NHS slaves have time to post on STW whilst “working”.

Statutory 30min meal break – 1st one since 11am – back to work now.

explain ‘multiple attempts at catheterisation’ please

I’d rather not.
Google it.

Not a full name. Very circumspect, me. Lighten up.

Did I name him?
Did I give my particular, working, location?
No.
So I think Information Governance is intact, don’t you?

Imagine the outcry if Superstar put that on their site!

That level of honesty would be refreshing.

Nice. Will keep a look out for it/you on the mean streets of Leeds.

Been sat in the LBS drinking tea and eating biscuits after dropping the car at the garage for a new set of tyres fitting. Sold a couple of bikes for ’em and now have the dilemma of being offered a good deal on an alloy 2013 Synapse as a winter bike…………..should have gone for a ride and saved a load of cash :¬/

Blimey, ton. Is The Garden Gate still standing? Thought it had been bulldozed years ago!
I shall be on bottled Peroni tonight as Female Offspring 2 is allowing me to take her and sundry others, for an Italian meal in light of it being her birthday.

Hanging on that cross must be good for the core! To be seen at your local crossfit gym soon.

More Third World than Chav World, these days…

Been seen before but worth repeating –

*puts helmet on*
I work in the NHS. For the last 4yrs, in my bit, anyway, we have been losing highly qualified staff and having the posts going to “savings” (for what? Christmas??). We are now at a stage where our part of the service is only being maintained by goodwill and a disregard for the working time directive (by both staff and management). Sure, a degree of “flexi-time” can be accrued but it rarely gets taken within the alloted month and is, usually, lost. Most of my qualified staff put about 4hrs/week in, extra, as unpaid, I often do a bit more than that.
Things are now deteriorating as talk of “reprofiling and downgrading” begins to surface and the enormous amount of goodwill that the staff have shown is, effectively, thrown back in their face. We’ve tried our best to help the Trust get through a bad time and this is the reward for it.
Goodwill is about to do an Elvis.

Oh…! Thought this was a singlespeed thread. Sorry.

I NEVER wanted kids, Mrs Soks wanted six – we compromised and had three. They’re all grown up, now…….except the 19yr old son and he’s just an idiot like his Dad was at that age 😉
Love ’em all. Hang on a tick and I’ll go get the photo albums, certificates…..the eldest (25) is doing a PhD……sit down, I’ll make some tea……etc, etc.

Dust caps WTF, unnecessary weight.

Stop that. Stop that right now!
“Rules”? It doesn’t matter. Nothing matters….

As of June last year –

I think you think way too much

+1……..x 1000………to the power of Gnaaaar.

If you put as much effort into your biking as you did worrying about minor details, you’d be in the Elites by now. Just ride the ****’ bike(s)! 😉

Botswana in Oct/Nov 2012. Was based in Maun – here -> http://www.maun-backpackers.com/
Utterly brilliant place to stay and to sort out your safari requirements.

Thats last time I leave valuables lying around my house when you come around…

The last time I was there, I didn’t notice any valuables……. 8)

Born –

Currently live just over Wetherby road (bottom right).

*still in quandary*…….. 😐

This sort of area –

North Leeds is a decent area with some reasonable riding………..but most of it has been a bog-fest for the last 8 months or so. 😐
