X100 Limted Edition

Outer and inner boxes, all papers/manuals and limited edition certificate (7438 of 10,000), all cables, filter adaptor rings and original battery and charger, even the plastic bags all the gubbins came in. Limited edition leather strap, leather case and cleaning cloth. Lens hood, UV/protector filter, Infra-red filter and Hoya circular polarising filter. Additional aftermarket battery. Soft touch shutter button. Truly excellent condition – the only faults I can find are a small nick in the paint on the base of the camera and a couple of spots around the rim of the lens hood (I don’t know what the marks on the inside of the lens hood are in the pictures, that doesn’t show in person and what looks like worn/scratch paint on the rim is just reflections, the actual marks are the tiny ones at 4 and 5 o’clock in the picture of the underside). Working perfectly and latest firmware installed.

I thought this had sold, but apparently not. The 'buyer' asked for better pictures which I managed to get, so thought I'd have another try.

SOLD.

The aim is basically to make it look fast

Then the first thing you want to do is ditch the spacers and cut the steerer.

Wouldn't narrowing the hose provide an increase in pressure?

Karl Ove Knausgård - yay or nay?
Fancy something new.

Answering myself here as I'm now half way through:

I'd say a resounding 'Nay!'

Give me a shout when you get back, it may well still be here.

Last try at £325.

That's less than most regular, non-limited ones I see going, without the swish case, strap, hood and stuff. If you're already an X-sytem shooter, just think of it as a cheap 23mm F2.0 prime with spare backup body thrown in for free!

Likewise the saddle, cranks and bars.

Nice frame and wheels though.

Price drop.

£340

When will people learn that all curved seat stays look shit. Always. And forever.

the boss

I have that mug! It's my favourite one, I'm drinking from it now.

Also for sale on SingletrackWorld...tut tut.

Another thumbs up. Always good, usually cheap.

I guess what you’d call a ‘full set’. Outer and inner boxes, all papers/manuals and limited edition certificate (7438 of 10,000), all cables, filter adaptor rings and original battery and charger, even the plastic bags all the gubbins came in. Limited edition leather strap, leather case and cleaning cloth. Lens hood, UV/protector filter, Infra-red filter and Hoya circular polarising filter. Additional aftermarket battery. Soft touch shutter button. Truly excellent condition – the only faults I can find are a small nick in the paint on the base of the camera and a couple of spots around the rim of the lens hood (I don’t know what the marks on the inside of the lens hood are in the pictures, that doesn’t show in person and what looks like worn/scratch paint on the rim is just reflections, the actual marks are the tiny ones at 4 and 5 o’clock in the picture of the underside). Working perfectly and latest firmware installed. £375.

I'm in Sunderland, so the price is including postage. If you happen to be local and would like to collect, knock £10 off the price.

Have you done a poop in that time?

After watching some of the previous attempts zig-zagging around their efforts, it's nice to see a beautiful demonstration of how to ride the track from Mr Wiggins.

^^Flashbacks to the guy building the left sided fork/frame, leaning wheel monstrosity!

Get thyself to comparethemarket.com, select travel insurance and buy yourself some cover for a one night trip inside the UK. It cost me £2.03, but qualified for the Meerkat Movies promotion which has given me a year of two for one cinema codes. Handy now Orange Wednesdays have been scrapped.

For Milgauss it's all about the 1019 and the 6541, I reckon, depending on whether you want restrained or sporty.

Nah, people say that, but accepting praise makes me feel like a fraud. When you're that fat (I am 6'6" so even at my heaviest never looked really overweight) weight shifts so quickly and easily. And I discovered a massive love for cycling, something I did for its own sake as much as weightloss. Had I had to summon the will to force myself to sit on a rowing machine in a gym or something I'd feel like I'd 'worked' for it. As it is, I had a ball doing something I loved and the health just came along as part of it.

The scars are big (mine at least) - a central vertical one from nipple height to level with hip bones. There it meets a horizontal one that goes from hip bone to hip bone. And there is a circle around my navel (where it was cut out, put in a kidney bowl and left while they removed the front of my torso, zipped it back up like a jacket and then cut out a new little circle in which to replace the navel...bit weird, that).

The scars are only very thin though and they've faded. That and familiarity means that neither I nor my wife don't really notice they're there any more.

Full on abdominoplasty. I went from 142kg to 76kg, mind so quite a change though it didn't really look that bad, just a bit wrinkly. It was pretty obvious to the touch/pull though. And you really wouldn't have wanted to see me do a plank!

Mentioned it off-hand to my GP and he arranged a consulation with someone. I was a little shocked that it'd be something suggested by him and left without really discussing it. Then I got an appointment through the post and thought I'd go along, fully expecting to be told to go away and stop wasting NHS time. But to my surprise, I got there, the guy poked and prodded me for 2 minutes and said "yep, we'll do this, this and this. Expect a letter in the post". A couple of weeks later I got a letter with a time/date for surgery.

By this point, I thought what the hell and just went with it. Mental procedure when you think about it, but I'm glad I had it done and bar a faint scar, you'd not know I'd never been anything other than a Wiggo-esque build.

An interesting thing I noted was that all the way though, virtually everyone I dealt with at the hospital appointments, in the hospital and in aftercare - nurses, doctors, consultants all assumed that my weightloss was the result of a gastric band and seemed to have a bit of a snooty attitude toward me. As soon as we talked and I explained it was purely cycling, their attitudes changed instantly and everyone became much nicer.

Ignore, I was wrong.

Anyone hear had any issues with loose skin?

Been there, done that. Anything in particular you'd like to know?

Wow.
