With respect to all posters I'd like to see this attempted- being British I admire engineering that could end in a) heroic failure, or b) self effacing success.

Whilst most have gone in on (a) seeing a bit of (b) would be top drawer.

It has been upgraded with a Juicy Carbon 185mm front brake, and Conti Vertical Pro tyres, otherwise stock. Oh, and it is running eggbeaters now.

Not sure what it is worth- last one I saw going on eBay went for just over £800, although it was not in as good a condition.

I don't want to see it go to be honest, but that said I have not used it in over six months.

If anyone can give it a better home than I can then let me know.

My view also- but that said I cannot bring myself to throw the old tubes away, so whenever I open the cupboard to get the iron out they hang there, staring at me....

On a "I have spent too much on bikes" thing- why am I looking at new wheels on eBay for the MTB that I have not been out on for over six months?

At the risk of sounding very silly I'm not really sure- I have a roof area that I would like to do something with, but I am not sure how much bamboo it would take.
Where abouts are you based?

my bareknuckles similar, hardly any clearance .. it hasn't scraped the chainstay yet, so i dont think it'll be a problem.

If you weigh 107kg I'll eat my tyres!

I tend to go for the "fuck! sling a new tube in" thing, although I have to say I have all my old punctured inner tubes hanging up in the fuse cupboard waiting for the evening when I am so bored that patching 12 tubes seems like fun.
That said I do find that if a little talcum powder is used when fitting tyres/tubes they seem to be happier together. They certainly stick together less- when I first got my road bike (160 PSI minimum Zaffiro's) the tube stuck like shit to a blanket when I had to strip it out.

Hippy in number two for the $£$£ bike?

Specialized S-Works Groovy Version is about £4,500?

Have you seen this? My memory may be imperfect but I think the seller had a BIN of £400/£450 earlier in the auction.

If you add the cost of the parts up I'd say that it was (at the BIN price) close to a bargain.

If it's above your cost ceiling doc_si I'd be willing to split some parts with you if you/we win the auction?

So it looks like noone wants my bamboo! we have seriously loads of it, so if anyone wants some for any reason then do shout as it's destined for the bin otherwise.

There's a rather fetching woven bamboo archway thing over our back door, made my my roommate using this stuff.

Would you consider letting this go for gardening purposes?
I have rather a lot of Chilli and Pepper plants that would appreciate a frame to grow over.

I could pretend to be starting my own Polo team if that would help?

11, Mostly on bikes, and I'm sat outside a pub in Leigh which I just used two of them to get to.

My friends and I have been thinking of doing something vaguely similar but in Europe.
Being wets and weeds however our thinking was that each day a different member of the group would drive the support vehicle (camper van) with all the clothes/tents/spares and tools.
This would mean that we could all ride "lighter" than we do for a conventional outing, as we could keep all spares etc in the van.

Leaving the office now- I get PM's on my mobile so use that if you want to get hold of me.

Not sure- sorry! PM me your number and I'll text you when I leave the pub?

I would imagine hometime would be around 8ish.

Got one, Deptford, will not be back until mid-evening though?

Someone on a white Fort goes past me every morning at about 8.15 heading from Deptford into London. Own up- who is it?

I left a well reasoned comment- waiting and waiting for it to show up...

I can actually chuck another lock in t'bag

Whatever you think is best mate- cheers.

Groovy- thanks for that.

I'll be on ASM's old Geoffrey Butler.

I've been a cretin and forgotton my lock- will anyone be there from sixish with a lock big enough to secure two bikes?

Forgive my ignorance- I would need to be using Windows for the MyComputer thing?

Hardy Heron 8.04, Nvidia 256 Meg card in a Sony Vaio.

For more detail- tell me how to find out!

I get this when I try to enable the driver for my graphics card:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Anyone able to help?

I'm a newcomer to Linux btw.

Very wise- if you want to borrow the BB tool/spanner/drill/drill-bit then feel free to rock over on Sunday.

You can do the drilling though- I'm not going to be responsible for that!

Anyone ever bought from this chap? Very very cheap Sugino 75's:
