I suspect that the lo pro had cantilevers as at the time it was built they were one of the few ( only ) reliable brakes available .

I ve an orbit america

50 seat tube and 55 tt- it works well with a short stem. Largely in bits

You might just need a new front wheel.

I ve a modern Claude Butler Dalesman

57 - top tube - but rather long

Let me know if you are interested

STI etc- they seem to go for £500 ish on ebay

Going through one inbred village we saw the orange masses leaving a pub or similar, there was a fight kicking off, and very loud screeching.

Was that Sudbury as the Nightclub closes?

Sudbury has a Cycle Club who might be worth contacting . The Essex police are supportive of cycle racing; they run the accredited marshall scheme, so might also be worth liasing with.

Which county complains the most ?

Its gone from being one or two coaches back, the last time I did it , to 6 coaches . Perhaps some of this in inevitable , but if it is not managed carefully then we could have the Suffolk Police express an interest in the event . Perhaps next year some "guidance" to particpants might be needed.

Alternatively, one could involve the villagers more in the event itself . Perhaps a WI tea stall?

Choppers were ridden in 1998. Two blokes from Epping Tri road it on modified choppers with Tri bars. They dropped me @ N Weald.

I don't think its been done on on anything like Raleigh Twenty yet .

James, you are being too hard on yourself, that was normal post DD ennui.

Good luck everyone .

As some one whose only ever done the DD in the wet then can I strongly suggest you bring a spare pairs of socks to change into. Every thing else seems to dry out execpt your socks.

Wool is better than cotton and in terms of stuff carried less is more ; rely on Chap Nav and not GPS

Alex ,James and Ed is this the first time for you ? If so then have a great ride . The DD I enjoyed most of all was my first one in 98 ; it was then I discovered that cycling through N essex in the dark can be quite magical, especially the point @ N Weald when you finally hit the countryside and darkness.

If I am back from Sadlers Wells then I ll try and look out for you at the top of the Lea Bridge Rd.

I have a set . They are in E10.

PM if interested .

50 C TC seat tube but a 54 .5 top tube

Though it handles well with a shorter stem and there is no toe over lap

Its 531c etc all through.

It would make a great SS.

Size

yes, 5ft 2" should be fine.

The picture is there?

It has front suspension.

Here is red Moulton midi in good condition: newish tyres and tubes and a new gear cable.
Every thing works well , though its missing its front mudguard. That is some where in my cellar, I shall try and find it . The saddle has seen better days .

The midi is the smaller(7/8th) version of the Series one Moulton, built by Raleigh. It should fit a smaller person ( 5ft) or be a good teenager or older child' bike; it has a certain retro "chic ". The wheels are 14"

Pics are here

Its in Walthamstow, collection only or a possible delivery. I am looking for £80, this seems to be the rate on ebay .

Ah but Ed, I have a pair of real Suntour friction thumb shifter and 1st generation Deore ones.
If you are good I ll show them to you next time our paths cross.

Plus 1

Ed, are there any issues on handling using drops as opposed to flat bars.

The other problems is indexing , that is the ease of converting to friction..

That's Joseph's practice. I know him from well.

You get a great view of what was the Barkers of Kensington building from the Dental chair.

You got lucky on the NHS though. Not everyone would even qualify for treatment - I wonder what the waiting list time is like is for just boring stuff?

Hippy, you are talking rubbish

Every one who is eligble for NHS care , ie almost all of us including you, is eligble for NHS Dental treatment.
Most is good quality, though there are some practices playing games over what's avaialble on the NHS. If they say they can't do a crown etc then leave the chair, contact PALs to complain and go else where

Waiting times are minimal or non existent.

I am , or was , paid to get more of you to see NHS dentists...

Yes, one of my former contractors

You can easily see an NHS Dentist in London- I should know as I manage dental contracts for the NHS.

Try NHS choices for the nearest one or PM me for advice

BTW - you can't get White fillings on the NHS as they are cosmetic and don't last as well as amalgam,

What about a Sextant and a chronometer?

Great stuff, but very zone 1 , 2 and a bit of zone 3. I d like to see what's being done to make cycling safer in outer London boroughs such as Redbridge..

Probably not 25.4 then.
