  I know it's probably the question you get asked the most with these but how do you find the torque issue, especially when using them on the road? And are they as bad as I was always led to believe on clutches?

  Two solid final choices there although I am biased.

  Lovely builds and I definitely concur on the therapeutic qualities of working on bikes and projects.
  Interesting to see what you do with the Klein. If it had been one of their traditional crazy paint jobs I would have been firmly against stripping it but I'm sure it will ace in brushed aluminium.

  When doing the pant fill on the hubs whats involved? do you just drop the paint into the letters, wait for it to dry a little and then polish off the excess?

  I'm a lifelong collector/hoarder and keep going through periods with different things. Just had a baby so that made me take stock of what I had and how small our place is so some stuff has slimmed down. Main things now are Mid-School BMX ephemera and Hot Wheels.

  just upgraded from Nokia 6.1 to a Pixel 4a. So far, pretty impressed. Nice size, super fast and the camera is light years ahead. Not bad for a budget phone.

  I always quite liked the G32. They were a bit like a mini-Esprit in looks. My dad sold G33's when they were new.
  @Brommers oooh a G20. I've had a lot of fun in them. At one of our track days at croft, the factory brought a couple down and I spent most of the afternoon playing around with it. Is Cycliste's car a race car or one that was converted to road use?
