PM'd KC. No worries waiting on the reply. I'm after a ls jersey in XL. Will send payment as soon as I hear from you.

Thanks.

Plus, if you've been doing it so long, and it works wonders, how come no one else has caught on?

edit: erm like what they said above, plus my comment.

Come on, if holes in tubes made bikes stiffer and faster, it'd be all over The Tour. Meh.

Dave, your stated records sound impressive, and you've obviously put a lot of thought into what you do. I'm a non competitive cyclist, like many on this forum, and because the frame that was referenced looks like it's been clamped and drilled so that there is debris on the frame and that the holes aren't perfectly aligned it looks a little homemade. It's not the finish you would normally see on a record breaking bike! I'm all for Mr. Obree and backing the underdog or smaller manufacturer but your frame looks like it's had the shit drilled out of it in a shed, and I'm sure that's where much of the criticism that you've been subject to here comes from.

I've had a pretty 'meh' experience at BLB. I lived just up the road for them for a time, and my one big purchase from them was a pair of their Rino track pedals. 4 wks after buying one of the cages cracked. I returned the pedals and was offered another pair at half price. Meh. I bought these and the same thing happened.

Until yesterday I had no further business with BLB. My lovely girlf who is not much into bikes used my last innertube and wanted to buy more for the house. Taking the 20-28mm box into BLB and asking for 'exactly the same' she got sold 2x £5.95 28mm-36mm tubes. This for me really sums up the idea that bike shops will sell whatever they can to people they feel won't know the difference. How can BLB, where 90% of the bikes in their shop have tyres of 23mm, fail to match an innertube when presented with a box of what needs replacing? I feel they've fobbed my girlfriend off with tyres they wanted to get rid of. Either that or the sales person couldn't match an innertube. Either way, I won't be going back.

Awesome bike! How's the ride? And how easy is it to adjust those brakes?

And just round the corner... thanks for the suggestions.

Looks lovely. 2nd hand decent modern gruppo £250, plus Askiums @ £130 and other bits... £150ish... very nice bike.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get a good mtb service in north east London? Need brakes bled and wheels could do with truing. Thank you!

Great riding round this area. Rode to Oxford on Saturday and a Red Kite landed on the verge about 4 ft from me on the climb through the woods before Watlington. Looking forward to it.

Good thinking. Belt and braces.

4th dibs just in case!!

Yow!! Slightly more than a cosmetic dent that one!!

@ EEI - my good lady's got lots of awesome gig snaps. Me not so much.

Digger - yep it was a Thomson on Rathbone Place. Can't make the party as it's my bro's on the same day. Have a killer time though!

Digger I met you once when you bought a stem off me. You looked to be a very clean fellow. Happy Birthday and all the very best.

Hi Hugo. A friend of mine is selling a brompton. Black though, with nice honey Brooks. I'll check size and get back to you.

54sq pls? This was one of a kind no?...

Any offers on this lovely bike?! I'm after some Askiums or similar if anyone is interested in a part trade. Last price drop to £475. Ta.

I'd also be interested in trading this for a road bike in good condition and same size. Anything out there?
