@BRM; I feel sorry for the bear.

Where are you based?

@ Jonny, that was the easy bit. It was trying to do the lycra base layer that took the time. Thanks again Snowy for sorting them out. Must learn some IT skills with son and heir away at uni....

No bother lads, was a pleasure to make the pub our own. I am surprised that Mr. Hoops junior is suggesting the picture was of him.

It is actaully his gradfather, Ernesto Carbonarra Hoops, shortly before himself and Captain Will Blighty Biggles got into their bi planes to duel with the Jerrys over Flanders Fields, that fateful day in 1914.

Strewth, Hippy, I did not realise you were a Sheila.... can you bring your two twin sisters as well?

Are you boys coming by Saaf drinks tomorrow night? If "yes" then maybe the locals should be suitably attired in convict tweed to greet the antipodean cousins.

@woolif, easy lad. A number of newspapers and others have rued the day they accused Lance without having the evidence. Innocent 'till proven guilty is still the way.

I often see then when out with my club, and have a bit of banter. JC is right; give it a go, may be for you, but if not, nothing lost.

@Roxy, really nice to meet you and so many other names from the forum. I am in picture 9803.

I will have my pictures on a memory stick for saaf drinks tomorrow night, if anyone brings their notebooks they can load up the goodies. Will also have a stonking shot from outside the pub to present to the manger. Corney, can you do the honours?

Wonderful, wonderful day. I cannot help smirking every time I think of it. And Dancing James; you is the man!

@Hippy, just sneaked a pass, so will be there for some single malt in the hip(py) flask to stenghen your resolve, young man!

Managed to sneak a pass, and just blagged the prerequisite attire from local charity shop, so will be there, with hip flask at the ready! what a great way to spend a January Saturday

Big Al. Its only a Bowery, but plain black based in Saaaf London. Do you want to borrow it?

Saw two dubious youths wheeling a mountain bike around the pub yesterday evening. Next thing, they were coming again out of the alley on the left of the pub, as seen from the front, and seemed to be taking a lot of interest in the bikes chained up. Could be innocent curiosity, but when I went towards them they moved off sharpish. Keep 'em peeled, people.

Clubman, whats a'happening?

Wow, you boys seem to have given up the will to live.

I would not like to be in your Sidis, when the laaadies get to see your comments. Signing castrati for the Royal Opera House beckons......

Corney; brilliant idea. It will give people the chance to see the forum at its very best.

Worrying news from Bike Radar, after the cycling star tested positive for cocaine last year

The 28-year-old escaped a sports sanction because the test was not held under the auspices of a sport body.

*But his team, Quick Step, were forced to pull him off their Tour de France squad after race organisers expressed concerns.*

*Can the Police do this to us as we leave a LFGSS event, and were his Human Rights compromised?

I think we need to know....

Good man Matt; a ray of positive light in a world of darkness and posturing.

I'm with you; enjoy the journey, and the opportunities that life holds.

Oy, White Flower, you are supposed to be REDUCING your bike stock, not INCREASING it!

Moser going like a dream by the way. Kids at the traffic lights think I have escaped from the circus, as their Mum's placate them with "No dear, just someone who should know better....)

Thanks lads, really helpful and informative links.

A question for the scientists, please.

Even if ali or Ti, I understood that salt will damage the metal?

Anyway all washed off; just now need to defrost hands in the microwave.

Thanks for that. Just reminded me to wash all the salt off the Moser before it eats into the paint and chrome. Evil stuff, that salt, if left on a bike for any length of time.

@Flickwg, superb photos, really professional.

Dream on.. I'm out, goodnight folks.
