Mobile-using twat can probably afford the odd taxi around London for 6 months. The bloody cheek of trying 'exceptional hardship'...

Not sure what it'll be then. Assuming it is/was a real working fireplace there will be a recess of some kind, but like you say you might just have to smash it out and see! Be sure to post pictures of course...

The surround should just be a fascia on the front of the brickwork. Easy enough to remove with destructive fun stuff like crowbars and lump hammers (standard PPE advice of course) but will definitely create a lot of mess/dust and require making good.

What's behind it will probably depend on the age/style of the original fireplace, either a deeper Victorian style for an old open coal fire, or maybe just a shallower recess for the back of the one visible.

There almost definitely won't be any matching timber flooring underneath that hearth - maybe concrete, potentially just compacted dirt and rubble! Unless it's really new and simply plonked on top recently.

Brilliant

Not a million miles from me. Sorry about the lock, at least the bike is still with you...I hope?!

What, so the empty lock was attacked even without a bike locked in it?! What area of Bristol if you don't mind...a reminder never to lock anything up there!

Haha fish/barrel over there

Doctors/eggs and the vegans/milk have totally whooshed over my head...

Nice, I like the blue logos on the silver frame

Nice crocs. And brazing work.

How is anyone supposed to measure Scoblebricks with that crazy brick pattern?

Snow left on your car roof is illegal/fine-worthy in sensible countries who know about snow, isn't it?

I reckon 1 - 2 weeks. People are usually busy and it takes a bit of time to sit down and properly work out a quote. But if it's been more than 3 I'd be questioning their interest in the job/admin capabilities!

I think I’ll finish this build digitally, and then mint it as an NFT to recuperate some of my outgoings

Makes sense to be honest, who's got time for actual riding

No that's just to make you walk around the shop more, so that you pass loads of other things and hopefully pick them up and SPEND MORE. Fucking supermarket bastards. They shake it up every so often precisely so that people cannot just pop in and pick up exactly what they need, ideally you'll always leave with some extra shit you hadn't anticipated buying.

It's a relief to know you're only human too. When's the Kickstarter?!

Did you Photoshop in that single chainring?!

What is the TL;DR of the terrible finances in the club game? Imagine there's a fair amount of complexity to it

what are your winter light recommendations?

A dynamo setup if you can. I'll never look back! Apart from occasionally checking the rear is still working.

Depends what connections, if any, are already supplied with the hub/the lights. If it's all new you may well be in luck, if second hand you might need to find bits. Buying connectors is usually literally pennies or few pounds from SJS or other reputable outlets. Buying wire, you just need any coaxial cable but Spa Cycles do it for £2/m.

You'll need appropriate connectors for

1) hub output to the front light

2) front light to rear light. Hopefully these are supplied with the lights.

Yes, but will take 24-48 hours

Doesn't sound unreasonable

Impossible to tell from that particular photo. If you hold something flat (edge of credit card is popular) against the braking surface you'll be able to see how concave or not the surface is. If you can see a large crescent of daylight between the straight edge and the braking surface then they're on the way out, but precisely when they are worn to dangerous levels is hard to say.

Some rims have a braking wear mark on them which disappears when the surface is significantly worn down, but it varies between manufacturers and rims. If they feel super concave, you've had them for yonks, you're a heavy rider, you ride in hilly areas, you ride in the rain, you ride in gritty conditions, or any of the above, and you're not quite sure - perhaps bin them. I've seen rims explode while riding and even burst when left out in the sun (tyre and tube expand in the heat and pop through the wafer-thin braking surface).

Those are extremes though and you may have 1000s of kms left in them!

Show off.

It does look very good

Tata ended up having pay for, and build a temporary station and a clear protective clear barrier

That's totally insane
