Looks like he got a job lot of bondage bar tape.

Seriously though, I wouldn't spend £500 on that. It's just a cheap frame with cheap parts, freshly painted and nicely photographed.

I'm doing the 'Extended Use Agreement' with Cyclescheme at the moment - paid a one off fee (equivalent to the old end of hire purchase price). Be interesting to see how it works out

ahh, so you still paid a one off fee at the end of the hire period?

I'm just in the process of buying a bike through the cycle scheme. I read that the suggested thing to do is not to buy the bike from your employer at the end of the hire period, but just continue using it. Technically they still own it, but it's not like they are going to ask for it back (at least my employer wouldn't anyway). Has anyone on here tried it that way?

From bikeradar
Historically, few employers have bothered with the final sale transaction because it was a hassle, so many employees didn’t have to make a final payment. Despite recent changes in the scheme, providers OnYourBike say: “OnYourBike have always recommended continued use for no further payments at the end of the initial hire period. This remains unchanged and will continue to be our recommendation.”

i don't think bronze bushings are essential.
mine was pretty much like this and did the job nicely. just do it slowly and keep it straight.

yeah. diy headset press is the way forward. make sure you use a few big washers at each end so it's strong enough (not just one).

i'd use a bit of hard wood as a drift for knocking out the cups/crown race. if you use something metal you run the risk of causing some damage. although if you're gonna chuck the old headset that's not so much of an issue.

Damn straight.

haha. nice

For fuck's sake IAmNotARobot. Neg rep me because you don't agree with my opinion rather than post a well-reasoned counter-argument?
Discussion forums: You're doing it wrong.

yeah. that's not cool IAmNotARobot.

you're missing the whole point of the internet: getting involved in pointless arguments over things that have very little to do with what you initially set out to discuss.

now that the crank arm is all mash up it'll just keep on working it's way loose. it's a press fit essentially, so the contacting surfaces all need to be the correct shape.

i'll take the bike for your hands for £15 and a bag of cheesy wotsits if you don't fancy fixing it.

Gone now

either way. whenever you infringe upon someones copyright, a puppy dies. fact.
giving away several copied cds is basically exactly the same as walking into a pet shop with a chainsaw.

Yes.

so does that mean a classical composer who does not perform is not a musician?

Real musicians make money touring.
But you can expect that from a manufactured ready-made pop cunt who put an album out first before ever performing live.

so you're saying that anyone who does not perform live is not a real musician?

You sell prints though.
And posters
And postcards.

Musicians also make money by playing gigs.
Songwriters also make money by licencing.
Both pay far better than mechanical copyright.

That's why I say I'm generalising. It still doesn't mean that your comparison is any more valid. They are two completely different things. Different business models, different revenue streams.

No, because that's a completely bloody stupid comparison. If you steal a painting you're removing the original. When you copy a song you're in no way depriving the artist of the original work. Just a couple of pence. It's not going into the studio and taking the master tapes is it? A more accurate comparison is by copying the work you are taking a photo, making a scan or a photocopy. Which harms the artist not one jot.

I wouldn't say that's a fair comparison either. When you're selling a painting (generally speaking), the original is what you sell. You don't sell a photograph of it. With music the original masters are not what is being sold, the copies are whats being sold.

Painters make money by selling originals of their work, musicians make money by selling copies of their work. Again, I'm generalising here, but you get the idea. It's not a good comparison at all.

Ive always been a fan of the genesis equilibrium as a decent road/touring/winter bike

cheers for the tip man, i'd not seen that. looks pretty nice.

i think the juicer hi works out a bit cheaper though. for £900 you get sora on the genesis, for £1000 you get 105 on the juicer and a better wheelset.

is reynolds 725 preferable to tange prestige though?

thanks although

not confident it will be big enough

posting anyway as someone else was interested.
it's a bit dusty and has some components attached, but you get the idea.

I went for a quick ride on a filter today. I enjoyed it. Even though it's not the lightest it felt quite nimble on the road. The geometry on the juicer, is closer to what I'm after though.

Anyone have an opinion on Charge road bikes of late?

I'm looking for an OTP road bike to buy on the cycle scheme. I'll be using it to commute and do a bit of light touring. I'm not really going for the lycra warrior look (no offence intended to lycra warriors).

I quite like the look of the Juicer. Steel frame, simple design.

photos?

i'll take some when when i get home tonight

yo dglshrn. you want this? your dibs are about to expire :-)

sorry yasi. i think geordieboy was supposed to hit you up, but he never came to collect (i can't remember why).

I have a 60cm Holdsworth. Early 80's. I'm just over 6' and find it too big. Few dings here and there, yours for £60

:(

?

I'm in Harringay. Just by Harringay overground.

So, over a year later I actually still have this box of stuff sitting around.
Going free to a good home!

Ok, so I just found out that my neighbour was (and still is) puncturing my tyres deliberately.

My most sincere apologies to Continental :-)
