I used to own a pub the worst clients were the locals straw dogs every one.

And the 3 pint comment made me smile I always said they became A holes after the 3rd.

My experience

My Inbred poor paint great frame

My London road good paint poor frame

No
because we have no plan for tomorrow.

seperate vote.
Yes
to close the borders of the EU before the whole refugee mess unravels Europe which I think it will do if left unchecked,the right will take over if we don’t.

Personally I would advise you beg steal or borrow one and give it a good try first, I Jumped at the AGB category and purchased the PX London road and really after 6 months am disappointed its crap off road and crap on road a 29er with two sets of wheels would do the job better in my opinion though I am sure many will cry me down for this post.

If its your first drop bar bike it will probably disappoint off road

so if your in France soon you can buy mine :oops:

Udertaking = Wrong I just don’t understand why so many cyclists do this its gross stupidity.

Interesting comment that Cotic is a cut above Onone/PX in the quality is that the consensus here?

Sorry cant help as i have not finished it, found a free old rigid mtb that the wife likes so its on the back burner.

The french will shout encouragement I have never had abuse or threatening behaviou here.

You may find the izuzu has a lousy turning circle.

My other half buys cheap supermarket slippers every 2 months

My crocs are 2 years old

apologies if this has been covered

If you live in a cat dense area micro chip your cat and buy an electronic catflap cat wars can be stressful with nightly invasions by the enemy who will probably shit in your house.

if you keep a small patch of garden dug your cat will use it and not piss of the neighbors or a pile of sand/sandpit easy to clean.

Cat problems are nearly allways caused by stress and often by children its not a toy.

And enjoy,

the most wonderful relationship I have had was 18 years of the same cat he outlasted the wife never judged me and was always there.
when i worked nights he was waiting at the end of the garden every night for my return , we moved 11 times and changed countries i lost him twice once for 10 days and posted a 200 euro reward for his return worth every penny, cost me less than that in vet bills his entire life and broke my heart this year when he died.

Can they be used on double or triples?

Old Merc’s never die

Reach is relevant when standing but ETT is relative when seated i spend a lot of time seated as it flat terrain I am concerned with so for me ETT is more important than reach and i suspect it is for many how ride 100mm bikes.

I see most 29ers of medium size running ETT length in excess of 600mm top tubes on smaller wheel sizes seam to be under 600 :!:

And all this goes back to the hunt for WMD’s that did not exist.

Sadam Gadafi and Assad are beginning to look like the good guys.

Cool hand luke.

and they really dont make em like they used to

Interesting idea with the Parkwood off to the onone site for a peek

no mounts on the parkwood :(

Clockwork has only one set of bottle mounts and no rack mounts on the seatstays and is bloody long in the top tube at a shade under 5’8″ i think its to long with a 620 mm toptube.

looking for frame only something similar to a scandal but not a steel as I want to keep the weight down everything seams to be getting slack and tall which wont suit the flat area I am moving to.

Skunk paranoia is setting in this will end in tears

Sooner or later someone on an Ebike will run over a baby and the legislation will flow, I dread the parks paths and trails full of idiots going way to fast in places the would not be able to with out there E assist.

its a moped

Happened to me in 09 age 48 felt like life was over very dark thoughts and bad times, but the sun kept rising and after a long while i laughed lived and loved again I traveled said **** it to the future and blew my pension job every thing and changed my life

You will survive this it will get better

Godd luck.

Ok head down accelerating hard , it reads really bad, just out of interest were you on a drop bar bike and in the drops ?

People really need to get out of there phones, hope you get better soon and the other guy.

Cheech and Chong up in smoke

That looks like an iteresting bike your Rat,got me thinking.

OK all you hardcore types look away now

sounds like you need a HYBRID :oops:

I went as a professional driver and learnt a few things that improved my driving, look at it as free training and take from it what you can.

If capitalism makes the poor worse off why are the worlds poor in huge numbers trying to get to the capitalist societies of Europe, USA, Australia etc?

ok what they are fleeing is not socialism but mainly dictatorships which has to be the ultimate capitalism or religious theocracy type zealots and they are not fleeing to capitalism but running to states with good welfare systems where they perceive a better chance for quality of life.

I have dumbed down my smart phone GPS? Blu tooth,Data etc all off battery now last days and i have switched to a 2 euro a month contract, I have put on my Xmas list “filofax”.

I hate the way our family soirees have become phone staring competitions with little convesation.

reading the above link its hard not to to be sickened by the style of capitalism that fails to give back to society but instead make’s one or two individuals so wealthy, its broken and it needs to be bought back into line or it will destroy it’s self and probably the rest of us as well.

A simple analogy “monopoly” the game ends up unplayable because all the wealth on the board is in one players bank.

+ 1 Patrick O’brien really good books read the lot back to back.

So does any one have any experience of “Open Box” receivers or sites where i might learn more?

Dumbing down to squeeze more money from subscribers so that all the challenge and sense of community is lost.

under helmet and also solo when the mood takes me.

For me 4 k on a TV is obscene.

Cracking piece of kit don’t listen to all the nay sayers who were suckered into spending thousands get out and ride it.

Damn my next car will be petrol diesel is getting overly engineered.
