@n3lson - if you are careful with the exposure (slide has very little in the way of exposure lattitude) - you will also most likely need to send it off for processing as very few places will do E6 (slide) development. Peak Imaging are good. You wont get prints - just the slides either sleeved or in slide mounts.

That's a good point, no I don't currently have any shots of the whippet in use - will endeavour to get some up asap - which has reminded me that I need to make one for myself, as mine was commandeered :)

Thanks man,

Wait is around 2 weeks for a bag - although it depends on whether I have the colours you want in stock, if so then probably slightly under that.

prices are broken down here: http://levrier.wordpress.com/bags/

It also depends on what exactly you are after, if you want a really simple bag then it will be cheaper and a more complex one, more expensive :)

If you have a budget in mind let me know and I will let you know what I can do for the price.

forgot to mention - anyone going to the Cycleshow should be able to see a bag on the LFGSS stall if they want to see one in person :)

haha :) I have sold a couple of bags to people through the forum, although I wouldnt want to give out there details without their say so first :)

If anyone makes it down to Bristol and want to see/try out a bag - give me a shout :)

looks good mate :)
one comment though, if you want to make it waterproof I would recommend attaching a floating liner to the inside. ie just sew it round the rim of the flap/bag. PVC coated polyester is a good choice and can be picked up reasonbly cheaply (under £10/m)
That way water cant wick up the thread and into the bag when it gets wet :)

^ did you lean the seatpost lug against an oven when it was on or smthn?..

nope - seatpost was stuck - had to get a framebuilder (argos) to get it out :(

My Casati Ellise Due lo-pro :)

Contis are recommended by most of the instructors there - I run supersonics (as do quite a few other guys from Bristol/trackdropouts who ride at Newpoprt). DONT use Michelin - they have some weird compound in which leaves a residue iirc.

Oh and make sure you rub them down with rubbing alcohol/vinegar before using them and take them round the cote d azur for a couple of laps before getting on the banking - unless you happen to like sliding down it :)

used this: http://www.tarptent.com/scarp2.html for touring in the alps earlier this summer - an awesome bit of kit - got the extra crossing poles for it, but you could easily get away without (we got them cos we were also doing a fair bit of hiking at much higher altitude). Seriously quick to put up too (literaly no more than a couple of minutes) - which is a godsend when its chucking it down.

Stunning 60's Cinelli track:

Looking good Dan!

soperRiva - you will need an extender to fit a bar bag on with those butterfly bars due to the curve. Nice build btw.
Oh and dont worry - you see a lot more of them on the continent (the bars) although you will get plenty of odd looks in the UK (g/f did when she was running them anyway)

yeah - you will want a shorter spindle - at a guess I would try the miche primato - 107mm as it has adjustable cups and you can move it either way a couple of mm's - they are cheap too.

They are ISO taper (ie campag or miche bottom bracket) and 114mm if you are using it as a double, 111 also works too according to velobase

To be honest i'm not that bothered about the groupset being exclusively VH

Haha I think Viktor Hasselblad is probably turning in his grave at the mention of his V System being reffered to as a "groupset" :)

Hasselblad seemed to make pretty much every and any conceivable accessory for the 500 series (or so it seems at times) so I would be surprised if they didnt make one. You will pay a premium for it to have VH written on it lol.
Its worth noting that a lot of cable releases wont trigger Hasselbad bodies as they dont extend far enough

These cable releases are supposed to be very good (I believe they make Linhof's branded ones)

With regards to the c41 conversion above - most scanning software fails to invert and apply the correct filter to remove the orange (remjet) mask when scanning colour negatives. This is sometimes a lot more noticeable than others - colorneg/colorperfect are good plugins that (claim to) do this process corectly.

Ours came from http://www.grwe.com/ - they are not just West of England anymore - they do pretty much the whole of the UK I think now.

Masses of other smaller Greyhound rescue charities as well as there are so many needing homes.

Couple of forums with lots of useful Greyhound info here: http://thehoundlounge.proboards.com/index.cgi and here: http://greyhoundgap.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=search

Very interesting article on doping from 2003.

Everybody knows that many athletes cheat by using performance-enhancing drugs like steroids, testosterone, and EPO. But what is it like to take these banned substances? Do they really help you win? To find out, we sent an amateur cyclist into the back rooms of sports medicine, where he just said yes to the most controversial chemicals in sports.

Oh dear that Casati is my size..... if only I had the cash... would go nicely with my other 2 - what a beauty, someone buy it quick - then hold onto it for 12months and I will buy it off you :)

Still teaching them recall so they are only allowed off the lead in secure (ie 6foot fence) areas :(
But yeah then they tear around like mentalists for 10mins and are completely knackered. I had at calebs race results - think he managed a 500m track in 30.8secs (standing start obviously) - so yeah they are pretty quick!
The rest of the day consists of sleeping (at least 18hrs a day) and eating - they eat like they have never been fed - Caleb basically inhales his food so we have to put big inedible objects in his bowl for him to eat round. They are also massive theives - they wont steal anything while you are there, but as soon as you leave they will have their paws up on the counter and be away with ANY food (Caleb even has a fondness for clean wooden spatulas, which he takes to bed and destroys). They are lovely dogs, soo chilled out and friendly.
If anyone is thinking about getting a dog - think about adopting an ex-racer as there are so many out there that need homes :(

Our 2 Greyhounds, Milly and Caleb:

Caleb

Milly

They are both retired racers who we adopted back in April.
