Beagle what happened to my old bike?

'Best Touring Bicycle' from Oak, fact.
Massive congratulations and well deserved. Oak are going from strength to strength.

Booking in my build asap.

Ta all.
I've already spoken to Alej. All is awesome with Hija, he has a great relationship with Marino and works him extra hard.
I'm talking about finding someone to build custom frames in Melbourne for the bike shop I'm at. I think he's about 50/50 with his builds but the last one was so bad and he basically said tough shit. Minor imperfections happen, and I'm sure he's right about having a margin or error, but when you can't run a brake that has to be outside what's acceptable.

I gathered the Mielecs weren't too close to the specified geo?

So it anyone still using Marino?
We've had some shocking builds from them to the point where the seat stay is so far out we couldn't set up V brakes. They replied saying it's within the acceptable amount of error and are ignoring emails.
Anyone had and good or bad builds? Just want to know whether to give up on them entirely or if they've improved.

Someone pick me up a postcard of that stripey polo Godess picking up her mallet please?
;p

Go LDN, CMD, HAM!

Man I don't recognise half those bikes ^. Times haz changed.

Missing the Newt y'all. Ain't nowhere the same.

TS Nerged for lies.

Just doing that now John. Cheers.

All those damn expats.

Is this the most popular polo tee eva? I think so.

Wow, congratulations Todd! Sounds like an amazing life ahead.
Best of luck with it all.

Amazing.

Pretty sure LMNH have the tools.

Aussie Rules. Gold.

What were you googling Tom? Hmm?

@Joni - I'm pretty sure there will be a load sent to Aus soon.

Amazing, thanks!
Erin amd Jono are as far away from me as London to Rome however. Might be just as well to order separately.

Damn, just when I thought I didn't need any more polo tees.
Amazing work once more Lal!
Will purchase when available.

I went paint balling a while ago and thought the gloves would be really good for polo, there like £5 too I'm going to get some next

I tried these a couple of years ago. Cheap ones have no padding on the inside so the plastic digs in your hand.
Non cheap ones were awesome though.

I spy some LPC

Damn I was hoping it was the game when we scored lots of interesting goals.
For the record it was 38°.

Bargainous (bump :) )

Where are all our other expats? Are they even playing.

Not I, It's in NZ. Looks pretty awesome by all accounts.

NASFAG [sic] has Stevie from Dublin in it, but he's a major dooche, so go Mat!

Why you no come to our tourneys JH?!

it has to be robust enough to get me through rain, sleet and snow...

Then disk brakes are definitely the go. I really like them and would go bb7s over anything for an all rounder bike.
Just my preference though.
Mechanical brakes could be a ball ache, rim brakes are not great in adverse weather, disk brakes are easy to adjust, well the bb7's are.
A lot has changed since the above was written and the Avids are now far superior to the Deores.
bb7's ftw, and make sure you have the correct pull levers.

And Hai Corney!

#misses LDN.
Almost Rep'd Gabes but didn't for not replying to me a while ago.

Ryan's bikes are getting better and better. Amazing. I see the forks are getting thinner and the BB Shell's are getting wider?
And is the trend back to 120 OLD?

Thanks Jimmy, Louie. Just piecing it all together.
No worries about servicing (even though will obvs go for external), I'm officially working in a bike shop and have the Park Tool master collection at my disposal. #tool porn #love a rainy day.

And here it is again!
Nik is offering private mechanic lessons for anyone who wants to learn any level of bike mechanics.
There is no fixed price, just donate what you think it's worth.
Perhaps there's a few of you who would like to get together for a group lesson, or if you have a stuck seatpost like Clefty before, anything you would like help with or just wanted to learn.

This isn't exclusive to women either btw.

She doesn't have a lot of time to check the forum so maybe register your interest on here and we'll put you in touch.

This is a fundraiser once again.
