here it is on that same site for £25, for instance: http://www.toolmix.com/browse/product.asp?gid=1350&pid=46885

BAHCO.

FTW.

Correct. FWIW, the nice chap on Whitecross St markets has the 8" wide-opening model (9031?) for £14, which is about as good as the online prices when last I checked.

Aye. That was nice, that was. And I've managed to open a nice bottle of red using only the probes from a cheapie multimeter, which is a pleasant resolution to the fucksticks-no-corkscrew issue I was having.

it is not actually against the law to overtake on a blind hill or corner, the highway code just says DO NOT rather than MUST NOT ?

The driver would have a hard time claiming they weren't driving without due care if they hit something, however, since by definition they're moving at speed into space they can't possibly see.

Police then arrive take statements and explain cps may not take action but as I have requested they will call his boss and explain the situation.

SRSLY? What exactly would have to happen for the CPS to stir themselves, I wonder?

Kool Stop salmon pads are nice and soft, which helps with rim wear as well as improving wet braking. I recommend them wholeheartedly - they don't even seem to wear out much faster than the stock black items.

I can't quit believe I missed this. I suppose at least it's not Dark Star or Brodie's. Actually, I might suggest a jersey to Brodie's - the crossover between fans and cyclists is definitely there.

A pal of mine has one of these and loves it: http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/ebwPNLqrymode.a4p?f_ProductID=12412&f_FullProductVersion=1&f_SupersetQRY=C416&f_SortOrderID=1&f_bct=c012372c012370
Pretty much the same as the Courier S1ngle which a couple of colleagues have bought, which seems very solid transport.

More Ambrosio love here. Can't see myself bothering with much else, TBH, unless I get radically faster and suddenly start to benefit from deeper aero rims.

Possible, but I'm doubtful. Same card happily books flights, for example.

Finished building up the Webster TT frame I bought on here a while back. It's currently somewhat overgeared (49x15) because I left the 18-tooth sprocket I had for it at the office and had to fit the only one I had handy. Rear hub is a Royce 130mm job as I didn't want to respace the lovely frame. Bars are Cinelli 66/44 with 1A Stem, from eBay (seller** [B]**[/B]adzw_33 who was apparently on the GB track squad and has a beautiful custom Raleigh track frame currently going for £200 BTW).

Stainless steel cavity-wall camping mug (with what appear to be tiny brazes holding the handle on). A fiver from Silvermans years ago when I got fed up with a clumsy office cleaner breaking all my other mugs.

FWIW, I have a pair of these and they're lovely. Have a bump :-)

I have, from memory, a pair of stock Fuji Track cranks with Crank Bros Candy pedal (working) welded to the driveside and a pair of Crank Bros eggbeaters NIB. Might be worth a punt if you feel like going clipless (they're probably the easiest clipless system to start with in town, moved on to the inevitable Time ATACs now).

First aid gloves > Baby wipes

I never manage to think of either, which is why I'm perpetually covered in a corrosion-resistant coating of bike grease and loctite. Lucky I'm not really into the fashion thing.

Just out of interest, is anyone else having a problem wherein the site allows you to sign up and then rejects known-good card details, thus preventing you from actually accomplishing anything useful? It's a mite tiresome.

Well, yes, but he's not original or really insightful. He's unappealing because he is a typical media solipsist. Things only become important when they affect him. And having become, in that way, truly important of course he has to tell us all about it. It's not enough for him to change, he has to be seen to change. His subject is not the real subject; he is the subject, he is what he actually finds interesting.
Accompanied as ever in these kind of risible 'experiments' by an overweening sense of self pity: "The first months of my brand-free life were hell" and "I was also forced to plan ahead." as well as justifying his basic shallowness and self-absorption with some cod-scientific pathology "I suffered from a condition known as obsessive branding disorder" He should have listened to his mother a lot earlier in life.

Read this thread the other night and wanted to post something along exactly these lines. Thank you.

So this Golf driver;

[]Ran over a cyclist
[]Threatened to shoot him
[*]Petrol bombed his (mates?) house.

Is he going for cunt of the year award or something?

Speaking as a former resident of the general area, the former two behaviours wouldn't really make him stand out amongst the drivers of black Golfs locally. The actual shooting and petrol bombing are a brave bid for the title though.

Also...is anybody still waiting for a saddlebag from the first batch?

I am, but there's no great hurry. I could pick up on Sunday or an evening next week or meet at Easts...

A good quality bag will make your loaded trips by bike safer and more comfortable for years...when you break down £2OO or even £3OO into the number of journeys you use them for that is still a bargain...And yet nobody questions spending £1OO+ on booze and clubs over a weekend? Or thousands of pounds on cigarettes over years.

+1

For which reason I await the new large Grobag with great interest :-)

Sad news. RIP blue folder lady :-(

dibs on a couple of TA Cyclotouriste rings, please:

48T Excellent £12
33T NEW & UNUSED £12

Cheers!

Am I allowed to jumble for beer at the Aproach? Would turn up but the lodger hasn't payed the rent.
Steff, you coming down? I could bring those TA cranks for your perusal.

Yep - I'll be there. Sorry we missed each other last time.

:-)
Should be peasy. If not, there's this thread and you have my number.

Ow. Heal the fuck up ;-)
