I never used to bother stretching before or after excercise but I've noticed since my 30s came along its something I do need to do! Did a stupid, no stretches run in the cold up a cliff in Dorset a month or so ago and it totally nailed me. Couldn't bend down to pick up child (mine).

Just took bike for a spin and the 10-15mm of saddle movement has made a big difference.

I've definitely had people be impatient when letting me out (this is driving, not riding) or in some way volunteering priority, as if it's an insult to them that i'd wait and check that it really is clear rather than just taking their word for it.

Or lack thereof!

Yeah, i was assuming it was very rudimentary. I wanted confirmation i was finally riding roughly the right size frame, which it looks like i am. I think i just need do the oft-recommended carrying allen keys around and tweaking things one by one.

I've been feeling like i'm slightly over-reaching when on the hoods lately. Just quickly tried the competitivecyclist.com bike fit calculator thingie, and it turns out I've got my bike set up just right :-/
Considering i'm about a foot off being able to touch my toes, i guess this is just me being inflexible!
I've yet to get on my bike since swapping saddles and (i think) moving it forward a touch, so hopefully that will miraculously solve the situation and mean i -don't- have to start doing yoga after all.

Ah well, cheers anyway.

How wide are the velosolo risers please?

Dibs pair silver no name calipers please. Will PM shortly.

What's the clamp size on no. 5 please?

Hi @varno I'm in need of a new wheelset after trashing my hub cones. Was thinking Mach 1 + miche, but was just wondering if the quando hubs you're using are sealed or not?

What kind of weirdo masturbates in private?

That makes me feel a little bit sick. I even find my neighbours drop levers on moustache bars a bit creepy.

I currently have a Peugeot frame with simplex dropouts that's Vitus tubing on the 3 main tubes (and presumably carbolite 103 for the rest - chromed forks have a carbolite sticker). Mine's a mid 80s, bit this frame might be a similar tube set?

love the wheel size/mudguard combo of the top one. Recon there's a child's bike with 27" wheels somewhere?

Cheers squire, I did see that listing and was hoping to find them in colours other than blue or red (which i failed to mention). Think I'll just order some anyway though.

Gone, to local listings/the 'bay

There's been some gold in this thread recently. Very tempted to ruin it by posting mine. What's the readers wives policy here? :-)

This guy was the cheapest I could find those, if you don't mind it coming from the Far East. Bought them to take the barrels of and use as shifter boss tidiers.

he definitely had the non dura ace version at one point but I got bored of scrolling.

Thought I'd resurrect this thread rather than start a new one. I need some new top tune internal cable routing seals as above.

They're for my 1990 basso which has some that look like the attached. They're basso branded but I reckon those Cinelli seals look like they'd work. I can only find them for silly money though - anyone know of an alternative or just a cheap place to get hold of the cinelli seals? (3 year old link above is 3 years old)

Comiserations. We had a buy strung out for a similar length of time before falling through and it's not in any way fun. Lots of time and money down the drain.

Much kudos to @poonpoon

Rat or Rastamouse?

What, every day?! Fuck that...
:-)

He must stink by the time he rocks up at work. Just be glad you don't have the desk next to him!

Price range?
I've got a 58cm c-c Peugeot vitus frame for sale. Not perfect condition but would powder coat-respray up very nicely.
