  Ah... I have replied to you @r_mash accidentally, the truth is I don't think I am in a position to be giving out sourdough instruction advise.

  After being furloughed for 3 months I am finally getting the hang of this.
  300g strong, 100g of rye and 81% hydration, 2% salt to make both loaves. Cooked in a pot for 35mins.
  I gave up mixing it by hand, it took for ever and the results were always disappointing for me.
  so this is all mixed in a machine once in the morning, bulk formented during the day. The time it takes to prove depends on the weather outside, then left in the very cold part of the fridge over night and cooked this morning.

  Yep. I had the winning bid of 300 pound for most of the week, I was getting worried I might win it as I couldn't justify another bike at the moment as I have just splashed out on a shed for the bikes I already own.
  I needn't of worried..!
  It's understandable I guess, it came with the wheels and some choice components, it's also very unusual to see paintwork in such remarkable condition

  Wow superb, @anidel. Congratulations. I must admit I never thought I would see this frame again after the accident.
  You've definitely done it justice and it certainly gives us an excuse for another pre 50s ride

  Very nice.
  How are you looking for a completion date you must be almost there. Are the wheels built I'm assuming your using the Harden hubs.?
