If i can use them...anyone can....cos i am useless with clipless pedals...but these are great.....even with road shoes and a pontoony thing!
-
Don't fear Skully dear chap....happened my end....bike fell over when perched against my shed.....
My saddle and butt are but a marriage made in heaven...with you as the person that made it all possible......cheers....Leon

This is the job that Skully did to my Brooks Pro
Lovely job...he charges £20 including lettering and postage unless you use Special Delivery...then so does he.....SD cost me £8 and he charged me an extra £5 for SD....but if your Brooks is worth more than £36....SD is worthwile...for security!!
-
Apologies for the delay in putting these up......lovely job....a chap in Cambridge is interested in a chop......thanks again......Leon
-
L'Eroica here you come!...Assuming the tubes don't snap or the gears don't jam!!
-
How ironic....i was once a black cab driver.....but i take your point about them.....they can be a menace to cyclists...most of them are very very right wing into the bargain!.....give em a whack with your pump!.....but thanks for your offer....cheers
-
Does the combo do 8 speed and indexed changes?...is the RS the rear mech?....Do you have L and R dt shifters?.....I like your name....when penguins turn bad!
-
pm me your address...as i am going to see an osteopath in East Barnwell at 3pm.....so i am going past you...i can drop in the seatpost...and have a gander at your Hetchins!
-
I would prefer a Lenin and/or a Trotsky glove puppet!....Are you not on your stall today?
-
Thats no problem...i will sell it...keeping it shiny becomes the buyers problemo.....I will drop it off with you on Friday.
In hindsight, Stalin does look like Satan....but not to the western allies during WW2...with his moustache and pipe...he looked like an uncle figure kind and friendly...hence the uncle Joe label.....at the time he was our brave ally in the east....fighting fascism.....Which he was!.....
-
Looks can be deceptive...who would have thought 'Uncle Joe' to be a heartless mass murderer.....i believe the twins were active in the National Front......
btw can you do me a favour and buff up a Campag aero seatpin?

Hi lpg......
Although the bike has been built up with mainly 105.....the gears are 6 speed cassette....which are hard to get hold of these days...presently the ratio is 15-20 and the front rings are 53-42....so what i have is not enough at the top and too little at the bottom......so i intend to go to 8 speed.....just got some birthday money and want to get some of the kit.....before i waste the money on rubbish!....So my first requirements are the rear mech and the levers.
-
Hi...I need a set of Shimano 8 speed down tube levers and a......matching rear mech...either a recent...Tiagra or 105 in a short cage.....in good condition...will pay postage.....cheers......Leon

fascist bastards....had it coming!.....for once the IRA.....did something 'useful'..for a change......although they let us down by not killing Thatcher in Brighton!

And be more aerodynamic into the bargain!

eddie, you should get some frog lights
you''ve probably seen them or you may even have them,
they're £14.99 a pair and come in lotsa colours, i can get you a pair w/ 10% off if you wish.Have you heard of laissez-faire?....19th century political economy view point...means leave alone.....then it meant don't force good health onto me...ie sanitary sewage systems, fresh water in pipes for all.....where the government keeps out of everything except law and order, foreign policy and defence.....so if Eddie wants to go without lights and takes the risk of killed that is his look out...i personally think it is crazy to cycle without lights...but that does not mean that they should be forced upon a cyclist...in my opinion...i agree others will disagree and think cyclists should be fined or punished....again i disagree....the ones i do feel sorry for is the person who mows down the cyclist without lights....assuming the driver is not drunk, not using a mobile, not on narcotic drugs or is a homicidal killer!...So don't try to enforce your values upon Eddy....he wants his bike paired to the bone.....and if i recall he does attach lights to his clothes and bag...if so...no probs!
Glad you like the wheels and they have gone to a good home......still spoke cards would spoil those lovely wheels.....don't do it!

Weather for this Saturday as predicted by the BBC...rain and probably cold and breezy...so take a rain jacket...or stay at home and keep warm.....
-
Lovely bloke...got his autograph...for my mum!...she was chuffed!.....A smile from Claire still wins in my book!
-
Got my Brooks Pro back...will post pics tomorrow...apologies Skully for not doing that today!.....Just want to say...tis brilliant and so comfortable and looks great...especially the lettering.....No Pasaran...hard as a brick...no give yet... comfy...even on the turbo......i even felt i was going faster.....Skully you ARE the Supreme Saddle Manipulator General.....and hail you as a leather cutting deity...You are a skilled skiver [in the true meaning of the word] of the highest calibre!...I thank you and so does my bike!
-
I thought Pol Pot was dead......or was it a ruse to the Un off his scent...We need to know the truth....is the dictator/mass murderer of Cambodia still alive.....what is the truth.....Year 34....taking Year Zero as 1975....Come clean!
-
Yes..but no one quite like Claire Grogan...sadly.....old bags mainly...and Roy Castle...i would have exchanged all that for Claire Grogan!....you win!

Did you not rush up on the stage to rescue her?...If she had smiled at me...i would be on cloud nine for 'the duration'....of my life......i am blessed by close proximity to your greatness and good fortune....i defer to your majesty in such matters...i am in awe!!....She was and prob still is gorgeous!
-
in moderation i think not , ie 1 or 2, like the bike ambulance one that oz has...
'I disagree with what you say but i defend your right to say it'......Voltaire...ergo i hear what you say and disagree with you.....spoke cards spoil the clean looks of a bike and that is what makes a fixed bike...the removing of all [ALL]...superfluous bits and pieces....and if that includes gears and a rear brake it definitely includes spoke cards......but in our 'democracy'...you are entitled to use them on your bike.....each to their own...even if it is wrong and looks very wrong!....In Soviet times when one was called a 'bureaucrat'....it meant you were one step from the gulags [nasty prison camps in Siberia].....so the equivalent phrase would be today in this context....'fakenger'!!
BTW...how are the wheels?....I should taken the extra £10...stop you wasting money on spoke cards!!
