Why do you want a bike that looks like a christmas tree? What's wrong with the charge? The only thing I don't really like are those brown bullhorns and would get risers.

I can recommend CSV too. Did one year of volunteering with them.

Being away from my family did two things to me:

1. It improved the relationship between me and my parents (not that it was bad, but when you're a teenager you always think your parents are just out to annoy you all day)

2. It taught me that you don't automatically have friends and activities like in school. You'll be forced to make an effort to make friends and to have the sort of social life you want. You'll learn to get over your insecurities and Just Do It (tm).

It did me the world of good.

Thing is that bus drivers are never in a hurry. If they drive quicker they won't go home earlier. They just have to do more rounds.

C'mon. Hurry up! Where are the pics of her?

I can see the pics no problem.

I'm so excited*!

*probably will be a massive anti-climax as there will be nothing to see.

EPIC WIN! hey em, i found a grill for you! veggies only of course.

I don't gerrit.

Anyway, let's give him a break and fill in his questionnaire. That's all he asked for.

Q1: How do you feel about the design?
Looks good although novelty would not make me buy a new saddle.

Q2: How aesthetically pleasing would you say that this saddle is on a scale of 1-10?
7

Q3: Would you say that this saddle would be easier or harder than a normal saddle/seatpost to set up?
harder

Q4: If you saw the saddle for sale, would you consider buying it? (I won’t hold you to the answer to this one!)
No, see Q1.

Q5: How would you improve the design?
Make it stiffer.

Q6: Does the easy removal of the saddle membrane to deter theft/keep saddle dry make the saddle more or less convenient to use?
Less.

Q7: Do you feel that the product attracts you to touch it?
No strong feelings either way

Q8: In which colour would you prefer the seatpost/saddle frame?

• Anodised silver aluminium
  
  

Q9: Again, which colours/materials of membrane (the suspended bit you sit on) would you choose?

• Recycled seatbelts (black) - [no leather please]
  

I'm sorry.

I can't seem to see the pictures in the original thread. Can you repost them?

Don't really need a Dirt Harry tough, but maybe you find someone who wants it.

Tool library: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread2775.html

Look for someone who has what you need.

BTW, is it the headset cups or just the nuts on the top? Threaded or threadless headset?

If you need tools look up the tool library for who has what you need in your area.

careful they don't cheesify it, Jos and I did a courier's eye view of the TdF prologue route in 2007 view that went out to 8 million Germans, couldn't have been more cheesy...luckily for us it is no longer online.

Yep, ZDF is very, very middle of the road. It's what my mum watches. Lots and lots of hospital soap operas and "infotainment" shows, which I guess this will be.

David, with you being with a thread title grammar and spelling Nazi (<-pun alert!) I'd like to point out that Deutsche is spelt "Deutsche" and it should be "Deutsches" as TV is neutral.

what's happening to this forum? time was when this kind of post would have been directed to a link like this...

Yeah, I was wondering too? Where are the "Use fucking search you stupid noob!"s?

Components mostly. Older hubs, sprint rims, modern clinchers like IRD Cadence Aeros etc. Tools, I can certainly help people out if needed.

Great.

How does the spoke threading tool work? You buy long spokes in bulk and then just cut and chase threads as you need it?

1. Rauri?
   
2. mullerbugs (if on May 23)
   

There seems to be sufficient interest for another class. I'm going to propose Sat May 23 and/or Sun May 24. That should give you enough time to get bits. Stick your name on the list if you want to come:

1. Rauri?
   
2. mullerbugs?
   
   

Maybe say what day would be better for you.

I'm in E3. I just started a list on the Wheel building class thread. Add yourself to that one if you want to come.

http://www.londonfgss.com/thread6470-7.html

I have everything you need (truing stand and spoke key) apart from the components obviously.

Will ask for £10 for the two wheels if its just teaching, or £20 for building them.

I'm happy to build them or teach you. Just done a class yesterday:http://www.londonfgss.com/thread6470-6.html

For spoke length you could use my calculator: http://lenni.info/edd/

The best deal on spokes I have found on outspoken cycles.

@decay: Have you got the pics?

@rauri&mullerbugs: I think tomasito and texas wanted to join today's but couldn't. Maybe PM them and we could arrange a day. Something like two weeks from now would be a good time.

@leloby:

I've been building wheels for 25+ years and have loads of stuff if anyone is looking for something in particular.

Do you mean tools or components?

Today I finally found what caused the disparity (less than 0.8mm) between spocalc.xls and my little app and have corrected it.

Would you guys mind giving it a good old testing and see if they are all the same now? Link: http://lenni.info/edd/

If you notice any quirks just post back. Cheers.
