thats lovely! Where did you find that if you don't mind me asking? Been looking for an xl one for a while...

great story! Whilst I'd be confident locking that up, that brooks is easy to pinch and sell. I put my front wheel cable through my brooks, but I used to run a length of chain from the frame to the rails in an old inner tube on a previous bike like this

That is quality haha

Not set in stone, what would you go for?
Bike shop I'm going through stocks them, they look to be good quality/future proof and suit the build

Sweet thanks! Have dropped the manufacturer an email too to ask, though they'll probably want me to buy their chainrings

Thanks for this. The previous owners did that for the boiler and don't think anything bad came of it. My only concern of doing it there is how close it would be to my neighbours' windows. At my dad's house, steam going out strips the white paint on the wall outside and if I did that to their windows I'd know about it. Only met them once and I think I can tell (when asking if someone could stand on their porch to work on the window 'You'll need scaffolding / I'll need to check'

Would be great if I could fit a minimum bathroom where the sink and toilet are now, but i think it's too tight. If that dividing wall could go and I could end the bathroom at the edge of the window, that'd be good.

Really stuck on kitchen/bathroom layout design

Quite a few stained glass folk in Bristol.
Putting the original window in a new bespoke timber frame with glass either side seems best option buy split into 2 for the weight

looking at bits for my singular peregrine which is on order. eying up some middleburn ro2s to run 2x and will run a grx rear mech. What bcd spider do i want to ensure i'll be able to easily get 30ish & 46ish t chainrings? They do 110, 94 and 130 bcd double road spiders or a 110/58 BCD one.
if I go 110 I can get these

cheers

edit - do 9/10 speed chainrings work okay on 11s or do you definitely need 11s specific?

Think it is for now. This is to put up shelves and stuff (bike hooks!) in my first place

Ah yes I remember you saying! Would you go for the Stanley one then? Can change my order (being rushed this morning!!!)

Around 5-6 years I think

I have, looks ace! But I got distracted on the loo hose chat haha

just a shower really. Also not too fussed about how big the bathroom is as not in there more than 10 mins a day

current project thread!

Going to do a CP!

I will!

£2000 to have the stained glass window fixed. The outer window needs to be removed prior to him coming to do his bit. I think he wants whoever sorts/draught proofs my 5 other sash windows to do the frame it'll go into.

Looking at around £1600-2000 to have the original windows fixed up/draught proofed/ re-weighted/outer wood treated and painted.

Got a shop designing me a kitchen in the existing kitchen space to see.

Kitchen/bathroom is stuck. Think I'm going to get a builder in to take all the stud walls out so we can see what can be done.

lovely bike and provenance

how does that work? aren't the screws on the hinge itself still going to bite the same cheese?

the main flat who ran the managament co sold their flat earlier in the year and I suspect nobody will know anything and that it'll be on me. So I think it'll be me applying effort
I think I'm going to need to run the management company!

Thanks :)
I have a lease with the management company which I am 1/5 of, who themselves have a head lease with the freeholder. The freeholder is absent and I wouldn't know how to contact them. Management co permission/addendum should be easy but really not sure on the freeholder bit

fingers crossed! which part of the country was that?

cheers - will be a nice feature! I think it was @Howard who said he'd kill me if I got rid of it ...
That was never the plan, just hope it doesn't cost more than 2-3k to fix it. I await the quote with bated breath

Might do a CP of the flat actually

Managed to get a guy round who restores stained glass windows so that's positive, and whoever does the single glazed window refurb can do it's frame and the outer window
