  Excellent price for the groupset. I would have bought it already if I was in London.

  New project, 1992 gt tequesta. My first proper mountain bike was a 93 gt borrego, so was looking for something from that era with the splatter paint. This one started life at Martyn Ashfield cycles in Wales, spent some time in Switzerland as witnessed by a service sticker on the frame, and is now with me in the midlands. Mother of all jobs to get the fairly stuck bottom bracket out but all good now. Going for some wide billy bonkers tyres, possibly on the original araya rims, but not yet decided how to build it up drivetrain wise.

  Here's my columbus genius Colnago out in the wild on Friday. It rides beautifully, comfortable and light. I will be using this as much as my carbon bikes this year I suspect. No dings or dents & it's had over 25 years of riding so far.

  I used asdatyres for 4 tyres on my fiesta before christmas. They just have them sent to a local fitting centre, in my case a halfords autocentre. Pick a day / time for fitment & bring the car along to them. Totally straightforward and comfortably the cheapest.
