What I think I am hearing is democracy is wonderful as long as I get the result I want …When I dont clearly the voters were manipulated.

Buy a nice set os second wheels and tires.

Jamba, I suggest you read the whole extended article before brushing it off as acceptable. It is quite long so persevere to the end to gain the full flavour

Just in case you don’t here is a small section:

All of ehe above + Smoke on the water.

Manipulation by banksters ..nothing to see here move on.

Sounds like a touring geometry frame would do the trick I have a cheap EBC country traveler taken of the gaurds and plenty of clearence for 40mm.

If you do buy one i sugest you go over it very thoroughly I had a hole in a weald on mine and two threads on the brake mounts needed chaseing and the front disk mounts needed faceing. but it rode nice …I floged it on because i had no confidence in its longevity.

Remember when people came to visit and they talked ,that was shit
Remember people haveing the god damn nerve to start o conversation on the train or in the bus,that was shit.
Remember compaines having stock ,shit
remember when news papers reported stuff acuretly, shit also
remember when there were spaces to park, sooo shit
remeber when work stoped when you left the office, real shit that was

I could go on but that would be shit to.

I had the same replaced the hanger; end of problem.

What’s a Jeffsy preciuosss

Your all very happy to Write off Bob and all his mates, Millions of people! but you forgot to take the franchise away so Bob and the boy’s bite your ass and now you dont like it, there is a lesson here in democracy.

As far as I can see the only way the govt can fix this basic structural flaw is to borrow a lot (and I mean a lot) and invest in infrastructure and subsidise (bribe) overseas manufacturers to stay here. We have no real products to sell and few if any markets to sell into. My mate Bob is 52 he can read write and drive a forklift he is also unfit, over weight and thinks computers are for kids he is virtually unemployable and questionable value even on minimum wage – how do we fix this THM

Maybe if all you highly educated people had not off shored all the job’s Bob used to have you would not be sufering the wrath of Bob.

Edukator – Reformed Troll… Reformed ?

I really dont see this Edukator my family is French I only watch French TV I work with French and Expats, The attitude is if its what the Brits want let em get on with it, The French are far from happy with Europe they Know its a mess and a large number would like their borders back and more protectionist government.

I see very few if any any news articles about Brexit, There is far more to worry about with the explosive situation in Paris and the general feeling of insecurity.

We had a recent show where the Notaires society of France turned up to reassure British people that they would still be welcome after Brexit and still able to buy property here.

move to France the Jocks and the welsh dont want you. :twisted:

Bump because I am sure this thread has more potential.

Clounine Do yo really know how many pairs you have in your house..

OP How are you getting those socks in to your horse :twisted:

Never ever throw away any piece of paper you will need it one day.

You will need an attestation for every sinngle thing in your life even though easily forged these documents are vital

Service …the french dont have this word you will que for hours only to have the door door slamed in your face or the attendent walk away and start a conversation about fashion or her mother.

Dont ever turn up at a quater to break time.

Saying all that I love it here.

So whats the sort of acceptable weight and geo? suggest me a flat country fatty!

When I look at these fatbbikes I see slow gruelling hard work am I wrong? are they overkill for mainly flat gravel and woodland stuff?

wow soab.

He is a hard worker :lol:

I used to have a pub and in his last years we had my grandad we put a comfy high chair for him in the bar, on his 92nd birthday he was sat there and the village wag asked him how old he was today,

92 said Bert , jeez said the wag i dont ever want to be 92 !

you will when yer 91 said Bert.

How did we get into this position where the governments got the facts on diesel vehicles sooo wrong?
Who advised them ?
Who lied to them ?
If people lied on such a scale why is no one going to jail ?

It seams like a win win again for the car manufacturer’s at the public expense. :x

Picked up a vintage bike the other day with a white leather Italian saddle got a gold bar on the back says rolls .. anyway its the best saddle I ever put my arse on inspite of beeing 30 odd years old.

Can’t be arsed to go tubless I change tires so often i think it would be a right PITA but then I still got rim brakes on one of my bikes so a right luddite

The flyer is designed for a very upright position i cold never get comfortable on it, got one in the shed its been on loads of bikes but never felt good and weighs an absalout ton

maccruiskeen Thanks a really good explanation.

+1 for the Ron hills have had 2 pair for 15 years cant kill em but maybe they are shrinking this last couple of seasons :oops:

Yeah, curse Microsoft with their free Windows 10 upgrade and regular security updates, and Google are always chasing me for money.

No free upgrade was available to me on Vista.

I don’t use any apple products so no issues there, all work apps are run in google and google Chromium browser runs all those fine for me I dont play games, comes with such a wealth of apps its amazing and OMG its free and no big corporate telling me I MUST upgrade or death will ensue I hate the holding a gun to your head give us money or your PC/OS will fail horribly threats of Microsoft/Google.

For all there faults the UK police are close to saints try living in a lawless African state for a few weeks and you would soon be crying out for a little law and order.

Also if you have the clearance, I’m loving the Vee rubber Vee 7 29×1.9 (roughly 47-48mm wide) on the front.

+1 on the Vee rubber’s I have the 7’s and the 10’s they were so cheap it would have been rude not to.

Thanks for that. However, I’m having second thoughts as the wide, flat bars may make train storage a little difficult.

Hacksaw :idea:

Found another Peugeot that i like and a better price this is a super competition in my size 12 speed any one any thoughts ? its only 200 euro and close to me so no petrol to burn.

The PX10 has been repainted (well) does that detract from the value?

So peugeot learnt a lesson and went on to build better frames …..I do love a happy ending :lol:

I agree Jamba think ill take a punt on one of the two cheaper bikes as a first foray into vintage road …would never have dreamed of riding road in the UK but here in the French country side its a pleasure.

I have been offerd a px 10
