This is a great build, I'm really impressed. I love a bit of shed porn.

Not sure if either of you or anyone else who is riding would like one, but I've just done a few colour copies of the routesheet onto nevertear waterproof paper (if I'm being prepared, it's great for ride notes / route sheets as they can get wet and be sweated on etc and still be perfect). Will bring them along. The weather is looking good, so hopefully the waterproofing won't be needed.

Riding out adds another 27 miles from sunny SE London. I was planning on jumping on the 09:18 from Liverpool St. If you're riding out, I'll meet you there.

Please add your name to the list if you intend to come. We need to know who to wait for

If it is OK with you chaps, I'll tag along. I feel that I am currently far from the peak physical condition that I might aspire to, so will play it by ear as to whether to bail at Sudbury on the return.

Oliver, are you planning on the train to Shenfield or riding out?

A quick skim read of the yacf thread suggests approx £200. As someone there pointed out, not extortionate for five days of 'entertainment' inc food and beds.

Vulpine rain jacket? Something from Nau or Aether?

A thread separate from the general audax rides thread to discuss LEL.

28th July - 2nd Aug 2013

I don't think it's too early to start thinking about this. Is anyone planning on riding?

I have been harbouring a desire to do something like this for a while, and am drawn moth like to the audax flame. I think I'll see how my autumn / winter miles go and then make a call as it will need some pretty well thought out training from Jan - July to prepare properly.

who now rides with her new man (who rides a Trek)

Oh. Is he still driving that Renault Megane? Yeah, can I just read you something from Top Gear magazine?

Don't tempt me.

When is someone cleverer than me going to get this lot onto a map?

In my naive way, I like to think that if I can do stuff for people it helps keep things going in the right direction. I can lend you my nelson longflap and support but if you don't give it back i'll cry and loose faith in this place as the last bloke off this fixie interweb forum shafted me. You'll need to be quick on the uptake though. I'm off on holiday on Sat so could post tomorrow if I got my shit togehter.

Hi Peter, I have a support you can borrow if you need.

There is another startup that is run by a forumenger that is looking at selling bonds in other startups and small companies.

This? http://www.lfgss.com/thread89127.html

From your description and the chat above, a sale of bonds to members would seem to be quite an attractive prospect.

Thanks earthloop.

I'm in work (a school) and can't access a translation website. Please could someone tell me what the text below says, it is a response to an email I sent to a German shop that I ordered some forks from online:

Leider ist noch keine Zahlung eingegangen. Bitte überweisen sie den Betrag danach versenden wir die Ware

Thanks,
Joe

Hmmmm. Any part of this not fit the bill?

You don't say when you are going - if it is in the next couple of weeks, then there are plenty of nice places with great weather. If you are doing some forward planning for later in the year then you'll possibly want / get different recommendations.

For the record, if Copenhagen is out of budget, I love Berlin and think it great year round. It's still cheap and there is so much to do.

Just looking for local support – hence putting it in the LFGSS Bristol forum section, which is closest to Bath.

Sorry, missed that! I'd offer support if I was local, best of luck.

How useful is it for those of us who are not residents to comment on the planning application? Will it look like it is being spammed by out-of-towners? Or supported by a wide range of people?

Also... not reusable? Why not?

With a normal helmet it's because the structure is damaged. But if the airbag and is fine, why not be able to deflate it and install a new gas cylinder?

The guaridan article states that the covering material tears on inflation so you would need a new cover as well as gas cylinder. It depends how much of the tech is in the cover.

Beigel shop on brick lane. 24 hour and a huge salt beef bagel for 2.50ish..

The catch 22 is with the labelling. If the seller labels accurately, then it can be insured for full value, but you might have to pay. If labelled incorrectly and goes missing, you're a bit fucked. I s'pose it also depends who you buy from - will they label it up as a gift?

anyone bought a watch from the us?
will i get fingered by customs if i do?

Most likely that you will. I brought a Heuer for my good lady recently and was asked to pay up. I was notified in writing at the delivery address and then paid online.

what's the new purchase gaffer - bit of crabon?

Far from it. Something lovely from me.

Have an apologetic bump after my atrocious no show last week! Found time to build the Colnago back up yet?
