I used to live with a bloke who flew these. He said that if they were scrambled (to intercept Russian bombers) they never knew if if was for real, but if it was then it was a one way trip because there'd be nothing to come back to. All rather futile.

Brand new hard back. Offers - money to the forum.

I would be interested in buying the tl-pd33 tool if it is still not sold.

Still available... PM me your number.

I use the 'Cyclemeter' app on iphone to track longer rides - it posts to facebook along with a google maps link showing av speed for each mile and route.

I'm going to just switch it on and off at the end of my road rather than outside my front door.

But Mikey your eight bike sized shed will still give you away

Excellent list work there Dave. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, took me some effort that. Cheers upstart.

Hey Noel, Sorry I won't be able to make it. Have a good'un...

^ Found a web service... http://www.freepopfax.com/

Yeah have the doc as a pdf, but need to fax it. Ryanair. Don't ask.

Any recommendations for how to send a fax from an imac?

The song on this is driving me absolutely mental. What the fuck is "ticky tack"!?

"Little Boxes" is a song written by Malvina Reynolds in 1962, which became a hit for her friend Pete Seeger in 1963.
The song is a political satire about the development of suburbia and associated conformist middle-class attitudes. It refers to suburban tract housing as "little boxes" of different colors "all made out of ticky-tacky", and which "all look just the same." "Ticky-tacky" is a reference to the shoddy material used in the construction of housing of that time".

Oh, the irony.

No work today Juan? - Spotted slipping through the Camden Road traffic in a rapha/assos lycra combo.

Trains arrive 19:51/55, so we should get rolling at 8pm if you are riding out.

I have just entered. The race for second last is on.

Haven't really ridden a bike in a weeks. That's probably not going to change between now and May so I could easily steal the last place honors, but will probably just ride over, drink beer and shout! Anyone else?

Rack sold. Grips, hub and book still going...

I reckon £290 is a good price with the maps and hr and cadence stuff.

When it's at the slack point can you lift the chain over the side of the chainring?

Pain in the arse - that's why I ended up getting the tool!

I'm out. Gustav you're in. If sheets dry I'll ride out and back.

Have also got the TL-PD33 Cone Adjusting Tool Set, which you'll need if you ever want to service the bearings (worth doing because they're very good). Shockingly expensive to buy (£50-£60). Can sell for £25 as you're having the pedals.
