that overburys is lovely. where is she now?

new Brendan Benson album very good (in the Racontueurs with Jack White)…. went to see him on Tuesday in Brighton…

check him myspace out for freebie sample

spend the spare £1000 on a cx bike and have some fun this winter ;0)

Lactic acid burn as you go anaerobic. Basically because you are unfit you aren't getting enought oxygen to your muscles for respiration to be efficient when you climb. You're body also isn't used to the effort of climbing and isn't coping with the lactate and very quickly it's building up in your muscles and causing the burn.

Ride more, climb more, get fitter, ride harder and faster, but as Lemond said…."it doesn't get easier, you just get faster".

Edge is called the edge for 2 reasons according to Bono….

He originally used to sit on the 'edge' of the group and not really join in much when they first got together and Edge's brother Dick was in the band….

Other reason is that he's got a pointy edge shaped head!

Joystick Maxx 2 is the newest version with smart port (the adaptor point can also be used to power a rear LED light etc).

Joystic Maxx is the previous incarnation and looks the same, has the same output (Maxx 3 hrs, mid 10 hrs and low 24 hrs).

Joystick is the original light with lower output and burn time, removable battey etc.

If you can live without the smartport then a bargain could be had with a Joystick Maxx.

ace ride, ugly as sin.

find out of you'll get any customer service from CRC before you buy as they Sinister don't make it anymore and are have no uk importer atm IIRC…

Try it/don't try it.

You pays your money and takes your choice, thankfully.

External BB fits fine to the swift in the normal way. The threaded section of the Phil Wood ebb works in exactly the same way as normal BB threads.

Excellent choice of frame BTW! Cool bikes, geometery and look is spot on.

adds a few inches too:o)

go for it….bit don't go too short or you'll look like a plucked chicken.

jack you are right…one lap would not have helped! ah well!

mine's prettiest….

Deano and I had a good race…14th in mens pairs riding singlespeed. Interested to know if there were any singlespeed teams in front of us? I did 6 laps, Deano did 8. I should have snuck out for another one at 11:45 but could not be arsed….we'd probably snook into the top ten if I had.
Course was hard work, felt like lots of climbing but REALLY enjoyed the bombhole descent and the long fast one back off the top of the clifclimb.

Great weekend.

I'll be there. team Singular cycles, 12 pairs singlespeed for me and Deano. Podium finish would be nice ;0)

The Arora is decent and the bars/restaurant do some good food.

I wouldn’t have thought so on the Off the peg model Brant….but the full custom looks very familiar in build style and I could probably take a guess at who put that particular set of tube together ;0)

Full custom is 853 protein with a stainless steel chainstay hence the lack of paint. Fillet brazed as thats currently the only way to get the stainlass stay to stick to the cromo BB shell and is also the builders prefered method of construction and it LOOKS NICE. Full custom geo AND can be built SS OR GEARED. And any Pantone colour you like.

Off the peg bike will be Tig welded 853, minus the stainless chainstay I believe and standard geo.
Spoke to Adrian at the show and gleened the pic and info there. BUT I had consumed a good deal of Innis and Gunn so all details may not be correct!

I’ll be there, singular jersey and singular gryphon drop bars. Say hello if you see me…will be with Singular Sam and a good few others on singlecrossers

Mike….it’ll thankfully still be lunch break for me…I’ll lock myself in the science office on the PC and be straight in there! Going to be great! Grant

the three sections unscrew (back plate obviously comes off, then there is a thread between the main body and the front section. This is a tight fit as it’s not designed to be undone, but it could be.

BUT…send it to USE and get them to have a look…they can normally sort most problems. G.

singular hummingbird…26/69er..

what tomthumb says…

or…just and exposure Maxx Daddy and forget the joystick.

team Singular Cycles is in ;0)

now….to training!

well…i will be if I remember to register on the 13th!

I’ll be there! :0)

my car just costing £447.09 to get through the MOT, bloody speed bumps round here fecked the suspension arms on the front and the rear coils. ****. Could have bought a night little jump bike for that!

i’m in…

no pugsley this year though ;0)

Think I’ll do it on the Gryphon.

dimensions are on the website I think.

don’t think sam is releasing the fork separately…i meant you can have a go on my singular bikes to get a feel for it if you like.

can measure the forks for you later…never know, sam might be able to sort you out with some.

much more co2 released and absorbed by the sea than humans can ever make a significant contribution to.

good pub with telly does not compute!

pubs should be telly free!

but….if you are prepared to go west a little out of brighton the Stanley arms is great and has ace beer….and tv.

thepilot…if you are near the north or south downs then you can try either of my singulars out.

I have proto hummingbird 69er (with the configuration of fork you are talking about so that it can also run a 26 inch front wheel and 120mm sus fork). See this months singletrack for a review.

also have proto gryphon which is a drop bar 29er.

mine all come with names…..singular hummingbird, singular gryphon, lemond sarthe

thats how it should be!

btw stu…i wasn’t calling your monkey gash ;0)

how’s the jones?

shimano make the best qr’s….without question.

singular gryphon has a longer head tube so you don’t have to run a gash looking stem….here’s mine…

That’s normal policy in most state schools and goes by the government guidlines.

Basically they unauthorise it, you still take him/her out of school for the week and it goes down as unauthorised. This means little unless your child has a history of being off a lot then you might get a visit from the EWO. Otherwise it’ll never be a problem.

Nothing to do with ‘we know best’. Although there is reasonable evidence and it’s reasonably obvious that prolonged periods of absence lead to poor exam performance. Also, as the school has to record it as unauthorsied then their % attendance goes down. This does not look good and is another government target that needs to be hit.

Take him to Florida, enjoy it, just don;t go to chuffin’ Disney if you want it to be educational ;0)

i’ve got some new unused diacompe ones I think.

email me and I’ll dig em out.
