In answer to Snoops:

I cannot look at eBay at work, but if it is a blue and black 58-62cm Fort Aero Track from (I think) 2002, and being sold by a chap in Manchester, then yes.

the 55cm from hove, is way to small for you. or was it somethin else?

Few pages back- the 62cm in blue and black.

Is anyone on here bidding on the Fort Aero Track Lo-pro?

If so can we come to some arrangement now, rather than pushing it up to silly money?!

Feel like I have gone mad- I'm talking about these:

And I swear I have detected no float!

I shall find out, I think it is pretty reasonable.
There is a gym there also if that is your thing?

It was a good night last night- a good turn out in the end as well.

Charco- I'm up for the swimming if you are?

if you had not said anything he would never have known!

I've just got here, so come and say hello- many of us also have bikes with gears, just don't tell anyone else!

You driving over Ant?

You cannot fault Jims logic- I however am too lazy to cook food when there are burgers on offer.

What time do you think you will get there Jimbilly?

We do normally get a few more people on the night, I've had a good time every night that I have been, it would seem that the majority of folks here are commitment phobic though!

1) Charco
2) Dammit
3) Hillbilly (said he would come last night, but might skid through his tyre again...)

I thought he was German, just goes to show how observant I am.

Clarkson's like Boris Johnson - a posh, out of touch baffoon but annoyingly funny who one shouldn't take too seriously
With a silly haircut to match

But which one would be deputy-prime minister, and which one prime minister?

If you could make it a little larger then I might be interested, sadly I don't think that is going to happen.

Shall we have a list to avoid abandoning Pajama's (and anyone else) who might turn up after we bail?

I watched the episode, I laughed, loudly.

Comparing this to the ManuelGate saga is a bit of a stretch I think.

You are only taking healthy exercise after all...

I shall be there, beer in hand due to the wonders of pay day.

You have a pass Ant?

Straight outa the Midlands- thems that never ask never get.

I'm ronery, oh so ronery...

Also it (coldsetting) might not be needed- if the dropouts are 126mm and you are using a conventional 120mm track rear wheel you should be fine.

The dropouts will flex in as you tighten up the nuts.

I may well be wearing Decathlons finest before much longer, getting home and pouring water out of my shoes is getting rather boring.

Anyone read Zodiac by Neal Stephenson?

It's got a nicely worded description of the main characters cycling, essentially characterised by him saying that he rode as if wearing a luminous pink jumpsuit, with all the drivers in the city having been told that there was a $50,000 bonus for knocking him off.

i.e. his paranoia had progressed beyond "assume they have not seen you" to "assume they are trying to kill you".

The issue with cycle lanes and so on, as pointed out by Splat, is that they can put you in a section of road where other road users flat out do not expect you to be, so they don't look, with the results in the first post.

Personally I try to avoid them, as they do make drivers tune you out of their road view.

Glad to hear you are ok mate.
