Bugger I didn’t notice the lack of bike in the photo..... should I remove my post?

I see the driver as a kindly god smiling as his acolytes fuss around him feeding the gods machine.

I think the front was heavily rebuilt but the structure at the back is the same. Pretty sure the roof isn’t actually copper after the first two lots were nicked.

Weak excuse, afraid of Droog ultra-violence?

remember they are bridges not barriers, I’m sure you sent a few poor couriers to the Deep South in your time.

Cheers Oliver, BTOB is getting me out of the lockdown cycling doldrums.

Better photo of the old one Longfield Hall

New, elements from last two tags but more Heaven 17 than a slice of heaven

I’ve got 6mm between the mudguard and stays so 47mm overall.
So Schwalbe G-one speed 30mm almost no tread
Schwalbe G-one all round 35mm more tread
Or Schwalbe X-one all round 33mm knobbly

Surrey hills and farm/gamekeepers /fire roads across the N.Yorks moors in summer(Yorkshire summer similar concept to British gravel)

Cool, neat way of thinking about it I’ve been pondering making up a template etc not realising my mudguards are already a 35mm template.

This is the seat tube, chain stabs measure 32mm at the bridge 42mm near the tyre. Do you think PX are playing safe saying 30mm or maybe don’t want to take sales from their gravel bikes

What do you think without a mudguard?
Basically Hunt wheels have mildly messed me around and have offered me a pair of free tyres which is more than generous.
I’ve already got a set of winter and a set of summer tyres so I was thinking of getting a pair for mild off-roading. They have 30,33,35 and 38mm in a variety of tread patterns.
Wiggle have massively messed my son around over a pair of wheels and are cunts btw.

That’s a 28mm tyre (&mudguard) the manufacturer says max 30mm but that looks like loads of room. How big can I go? How can I tell?What tyre for summer gravel?How many frame bags?
Whole new consumer experiences.

Do you get a lot of weight transfer to the front on braking?

Her father, Dennis Alan Taylor, is an Argentine of Scottish heritage. He was an international banker who changed careers to become a professional racer in offshore powerboat racing, where he won two Union Internationale Motonautique world championships.[11] Taylor was also the director of a private jet hire company.[12][13][14][15][16] Her parents are both conservationists.[17]

Can I ask the Custodians of BTOB for a critique of my first tag.
I think I started too obscure, the clues worked in my mind but I already knew the answer, should they be easier to google?
How should I pace further clues?

To explain mine

Henry Maudsley 1771-1831 “a founding father of machine tool technology “ according to Wikipedia was an amazing engineer who just got stuff to work.
He made the first useful screw cutting lathe which allowed thread forms to be standardised, before this nuts and bolts were made as a pair and weren’t interchangeable.
He got the Hydraulic press to work leading to your brakes today.
Needing to measure accurately he developed smooth flat surfaces and a micrometer that could measure to 0.0001”.

Other inventors got the credit for their pick proof locks or tunnelling shields but Maudslay actually worked out how to make them.

His workshop was on the site of Lambeth North Tube.

Rule out Bramah and Brunel they claimed the credit for his work , Whitworth was taught by him.

Here is mine

It’s a building on the site of a former works. The 3rd run by an inventor who has been almost completely overlooked by history in favour of engineers who did the big stuff.
Without him you wouldn’t be able to just bolt a bike together.

Or possibly have brakes like mine. Can you press on with this or should I post more?

It’s my first tag difficult to pitch it right.

I’d say it’s always sunny down south but that might lead to some north/south confusion.

More to do with locks than grills.
