A turbo, with a bike and rider atop, is a quite unique* live load. I wouldn't recommend a cheap solution, to be honest.

*I know, something's either unique or not. You get what I mean.

I should add here that we have anthracite column radiators and they heat up very quickly and maintain heat after the valves have closed.

YMMV

Really nice.

Nice shots.

Re underlay… but you’ll also get away without it. We just laid some similar stuff in - what will be - the bike/turbo room, and went without.

There was a small divot where we’ve taken out a toilet and the waste - we used some left over fibreboard (from the wood floor in the rest of the flat) to fill that divot.

If the Corka stuff is as easy as what we have, you’ll be done in a morning in a nice big room like that. Not much cutting.

Good luck!

Quite a lot of things...

But if you have the trades on site, doing the work, it's nothing they haven't seen and solved before. Can recommend Howdens, btw, and also a worktop supplier/fitter depending on what you're after.

Gaah. That's really poor service, IMO.

But you came out of it okay, I suppose!

There's a difference between colours not being "accurate" i.e. "it looked different on my laptop screen" and them sending clearly the wrong colour panels/doors.

Anecdotally, we have just had a similar issue - a rogue colour panel in and amongst all the correct colour panels... and the kitchen supplier simply sent a new one for our chippy* to fit.

*I'll get involved with most DIY, but woodwork not my forté.

Okay cool, thanks. I’m not sure why I was struggling with that!

You can tell me I’m thick… I’d like to get involved in this, but where do I post my entries? Thanks!

Depends what you use the bike for, I guess. Everyday = I’d favour clinchers, less often = I’d go for tubs.

You can always carry a spare.

Don't any of the kitchen suppliers sell spares, which you could butcher to extract the parts you need?

EDIT: you could find a kitchen supplier selling a similar/same solution and get in touch to say you have their pull down drawer but the mechanism has broken... they might not typically sell spares but if they pride themselves on customer service, might send you something in the post. They can only say no.

Gios Megalite. Frame found on eBay about 8years ago. Built up with Campagnolo Veloce and Centaur, and handbuilts by Rohan Dubash. Rides as smooth as butter.

Had a mess about with carbon wheels while cleaning bikes a month or so ago… saddle's a bit lower at the moment as I've got a bad hip.

Definitely get the Park Tool cutters - I’d say to shop around / try alternatives on a lot of tools, but not on cutters. You want properly clean cuts, and nothing matches the Park ones for that.

Oh it’s not as fancy as it sounds! I’m just saving squeezing one into the boot every time I visit family.

Now then!

I lurk round here a bit - some great tech/mechanics info and threads - so thought I'd say hello and start contributing.

I currently only satisfy the "L" in "LFGSS", but it looks like you lot don't mind the odd derailleur and freehub body...

Got a handful of bikes dotted around Europe (I know, get me), including a Donhou; a Condor Italia RC; and a Gios.
