^^ also the bar-men wear ties ( in a non corporate, old school, being a barman is a proffesion way) call you sir and remember your round.
It's not that local to me but I meet up with my Irish builder mates there we were all rhapsodising about what is actually just a normal pub -it's just there are almost none left.Pub thread>>>>>

Yeah, that was quick.
Well done.
I didn't think it was particularly obscure but I love those gate posts.Apocryphal story is they're the inspiration for the original Jolly Roger.

The main reason I designed these pedals is because they 'cradle' your foot. It's very comfortable, especially off road.
I have a wanged-up knee, and find these help with the chronic pain, almost eliminating it. Because of that knee problem, I can't use clips or anything like that ~ it was being unable to release my foot from the pedal quickly enough that caused the accident in the first place.
Reverting to 'standard' pedals feels very insecure; it feels like your feet are going to fly off the pedals.
I don't notice any flex.
Weight can be much reduced by using a smaller bearing, making them from titanium, and reducing the sealing.
This is the current design intended for off-road use, which occasionally involves stretches deep water, especially this year, and so has a double labyrinth seal at the crank end.
They are designed to fit a standard crank.
The pedal platform can be at any level and they are dead easy to service.
These illustrations may be of interest...Nice one. Those look really interesting.
Influenced by these?http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=6d052397-5a93-4ab8-a969-adbcd98ad51e&Enum=109

Loving my long sleeve one at the mo. Icebreaker baselayer and a pretext shell and I'm snug.
Really are nice but not pricey.
I wish they were less Raphaesque with pocket design and what not.
But you can't have it all.
