I can't be bothered to see if anyone's mentioned it over the months since I checked this thread. But my cousin lives in Vancouver in Canada and has been visiting us here recently. He saw my spoke card, and apparently the Tweed Ride over here made the national news over there! Obviously a normal ridiculous occurence for most Londoners though.

I'll take the material and strap if you split.

i saw this ad on tv about a year ago.

Well aren't you ahead of the game.

Probably is fake. But it's an awesome fake.

I'd love the saddle!

I'll swap it for a Topeak rack.

I took tons of photos the other day. They were mostly crap, but I have put a few on my flickr for everyone...

I thought it was really cool to see polo in amongst the more mainstream cycling stands and shops and the rock climbing and stuff. I'm disappointed I left before people started having a go though. We should organise the have a go part better if there's another similar event.. It would be great, if only for the hilarity.

I knew a guy who solved a megaminx when I was in the pub with him one evening. He'd never tried before. He could solve a cube in, on average, 18 seconds though. So I think I'll leave this to the professional/savant contingent.

Mike, I'll be around to help setup as well if you like.

Has anyone got a mallet I can borrow for the day? I have a bike now. But no mallet.

Nice lens.

I'll be there in a bit. Anyone got a lock ring tool again? Gonna see if I can;t get the old bike to stay in one piece this time.

Is this how you met Selim Nhat?

Bump before ebay tomorrow.

Ok. £2.

£4?

I'll give you £5. You can keep the stickers.

Sorry. Try again.

Here you go. I bought it off JD via this thread. There is pictures.

It's silver. I'll try and find the thread I bought it off which had pictures now. It has grooves running lengthways in the common seat-posty style.

A little clearout here. All goes on ebay soon. Provided I get round to it this time.

1x 26.8 Kalloy Seatpost ... bought from JD. Dyslexia on the size though. So would like what i paid.
£10

1x Campag Record small flange front hub ... Runs smooth like butter. If someone put nails in the butter, then removed all the butter that is. I re-greased it but it didn't help, it's going to need new bearings and a good service. 32h. See this picture.
£10

1x Topeak rack. 'Peter and Dave' technically still has dibs, but he hasn't got back to me for like a week and a bit so it's fair game again. See this thread for pictures.
£30

I would also like to swap for some things I'm looking for at the moment if by some amazing coincidence someone has one of these and wants one of those...
288mm spokes (32)
25.8 mm seat post
26.4 mm seat post (see the mistake I made when I bought the 26.8?)
25.4 mm seat post and shims for the above
beater wheels

Cool.

Also, there is no 'other stuff too'. I have no idea why I wrote that, but I can't work out how to change it now. I might sell you something else if I've got it though. I have a broken rare Rubik's cube. £1,000,000,000,000,000. Posted.

...just to be safe don’t wear anything flammable.

Lmao. Awesome.

I reckon over 2 months 40 miles a day is a good average. Leaves you time to enjoy the places you visit and maybe take a day off a couple of times.

+1 on as little as possible. Extra weight is bad. My friends I recently went on a weekend tour with had Vango Ultralite tents. They were pricey but I think they weigh 1kg. They were awesome.

Does 2600 miles include that massive bit of sea your going to cover on the way to Sicily?

I've left it way too late. But if anyone reads this before they leave, I would love to borrow a lockring tool tonight if anyone's got one.

Wow. This is a nice item. If I had the cash...

Hey WIll. I've usually got a bit of time on my hands and am mildly handy with a camera if you need any help dude. I can see the whole thing spiralling beyond the level of work you might have expected originally so don't hesitate to ask if you need that assistant.
