I agree, this seems like a hell of a jump in thinking to me. What's most frustrating is that the person asked to comment, who undoubtedly knows more than I (and ever possibly could know), isn't asked to expand when he states "there are other explanations for the variations seen in the bones found in Sima and these have to be addressed fully" - surely they could have asked him to give a brief summary of those explanations in layman's terms?

Is that Barry? Never mind, read the thread properly - it is Barry!

If you want a cheaper alternative, the Wilfa Classic is decent (I've got the Moccamaster and the Wilfa). Not quite as solidly made but the principle is the same.

Speaking of beaters, mine has finally had to go in for a service today (usual watch guy won't touch it because it's Japanese - not sure why, he told me it was a long story). Still keeps good time but (perhaps due to the very cold northern Italian weather) it is occasionally stopping.

Thanks, I appreciate it! There is a lot going on with this bike, all sorts of colours, but I kind of like the madness. Like a small explosion in a sweet factory.

I've swapped the Ritchey bars and stem across from my Bianchi onto the maga bike, as my girlfriend prefers the higher rise of these bars to the flat bars. Not sold on these 26 x 1.95 tyres but until some others come up, they'll have to do.

Few more changes, thanks @KieranHC for the Hope stem. Whacked on some Renthal Fatbars to widen things up, along with some ODI grips. Seems to have helped with the reach, but hasn't helped with my pathetic old knees.
I previously sold all my lenses (and Pentax K5) and now only use an FA 43mm F1.9 ltd and an FA 77mm F1.8 ltd on my Pentax KX. I usually carry one in my bag and keep the other on the camera. I've always wanted to try the pancake lens but might get one for my girlfriend's MX, as the 50mm makes it a bit chunky.
