Isn’t @hoops selling a nice 54 road bike in Bristol?

Those corns caused by too much bike walking?

I’ve no idea. Let me look into it and I’ll get back to you in a day or two

I’ve a pair of TIME 1 inch threaded forks that sadly have a too short a steerer for my needs.

Slim, straight bladed forks that would suit a great variety of frames with no chips/scratches in the lacquer.

The steerer is 178mm long, with 24mm of thread.

There is the slightest wrinkling of the paint on the left hand side of the crown. This isn’t very noticeable, less so when mounted but I wanted to point out the exact condition to prevent any disappointment after purchase.
If they were to be long enough for me to use I would rub this back, mask off and respray.

Obviously these are approximately 20+ years old and do show signs of use and age.

However I cannot see any reason as to not use them.
The aluminium dropouts are firm and secure, the crown/steerer looks in the same way.

These are lovely forks but I have trouble valuing them. I have the trouble of paying the inflated price for forks with a long enough steerer for a 58 frame😔

I believe £45 is a very fair price + fees and postage
Sold

Dibs don’t mean a thing if you don’t immediately PM me.

I’m based in Newport South Wales if anyone was close enough to collect

Anyone know how ALE clothing sizes up in comparison to other cycle kit?
Rapha/Pearl Izumi/Endura/Sportful etc

Might that luck be running out tonight?

.

Mount will probably get left out of the squad by Tuchel.

Probably head to West Ham in the summer.

Hopefully Frank’s exit will mean Chelsea stop sniffing around Declan Rice.

Hmmm, not sure if it’ll make one big loop.

It’ll probably make Twrch shorter as it’ll chop a fair bit off with a more direct route back to the floor of the valley. That is unless it’s just adding more to that side of the valley without offering a route back to the centre?

Have a look at the link below that shows the additional unofficial trails in the area.

Been riding my gravel bike around the Cwmcarn valley, where the Twrch and Cafall trails are on each side.

The scenic drive there has been closed for the past 5 years or more due the the forestry commission tackling the Ash dieback.

They must’ve pumped a fair wedge of cash into it to get it ready to reopen in March (now delayed thx Covid) as they’ve resurfaced the 7 miles of Forrest Drive.

It was as I was riding up part of the Forrest Drive I noticed new mtb trails being built.
It branches off from the Twrch trail a little way up from the sharp left turn up the short, steep concrete slope near the Twmbarlwm point (if you know the trail).

It didn’t look like there was much more to do before it’s ready to open. So hopefully sometime this Spring and it’ll be open.

This and the unofficial trails that have been added* make it worth a stop when you’re heading into Wales to other locations.

*such as the one dug from near the start of the Y Mynydd Downhill track

Halfway through the season and Liverpool are only 2 points ahead of West Ham.

This does bring aide a double grin

What your ballpark budget for this hardtail frame?

As if I could warrant the expense I’d buy a Curtis AM9 or AM7 without a doubt!

1x Fizik R1 white for summer road use
1x Giro Factor black for wet road use
1x Sidi Dragons for mtb and town riding
1x NorthWave Celsius mtb and 1x road for winter riding
1x Specialized 2FO for mtb flat pedals (these are very summery and vented)
1x 5 Ten Impact for flat pedal mtb (these are bulkier and warmer and normally paired with sealskin socks)

SLX/Deore level is more than competent.

IMO, you’re better off putting your budget towards suspension, wheels, tyres and these will have a far greater effect on how your mtb performs.

I spoke to the police and they said the policy changed yesterday from turning away/advising visitors, to straight up/no way to avoid fine.

Can’t say for London and the Surrey hills but I rode through and around Cwmcarn today and police were set up at the entrance to the car park and fining anyone that had traveled over 5 miles to get there. No warning/go home, just a straight fine.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see this spread to more trail centres (if it hasn’t already) to enforce the current lockdown.

One more question before I buy, how old is it?

All in working nic? Compatible with a iPad?

Happy to post?

Lovely!

Looks superb with the naked front with the painted headlights mounted

“I’m the best president at impeachment, I’ll beat you bigly!”

I think he’s been advised against pardoning himself as it would look like an admission of guilt in any future civil cases brought against him.
Being like a petulant, spoilt child, he’s therefore decided if I can’t get a pardon then no one else can

8.5/10

Although 9/10 if I’ve pumped the tyre to preferred pressure

Nothing fancy, but oh so capable and fun.

It’s a Norco XR Steel.

Not sure how available they are in the UK mind

Unlike you to be too slim
