strada bianchi di Derbyshire.....surely?

Fettling the Claud Butler this weekend.

Just changed the rear gear block for a mountain bike 14-28. (Normally 12-19 for the flat around here). Will give a low bottom gear for hill climbing.

Sorting our some suitable clothing, although still don't have proper shoes sorted for track pedals with toe clips though. Best I have found so far are a pair of stiff leather soled brogues!

Any offers, size 45 (10-11).

Travelling up on Friday pm.

Give me a shout if you see me - Silver, red graphics, 1971 Claud Butler Competitor. Should be wearing replica Holdsworth team shirt, Orange, White, Campag lettering. (Unless I get seduced by a Merino wool jersey).

Erik. Thanks for the information.
Might be limited on what I could carry from the jumble on the bike though !!

I was thinking about Eurostar to Brussels (about 2 hours), then train to Eindhoven (about 2 hours) on Saturday pm.
Then Sunday morning get the bus to Neerkant, about 50 mins.
Return to UK, Monday morning.

Arghhh..

Logged onto ticket sales on 2 devices, PC and tablet, immediately the ticket sale went live, went straight to a queue, never got the option to register, then got message 'Sold Out'.

Pretty pissed really.

l'Eroica....You might have a problem there.....can't wear spd's/clipless.......supposed to wear with flat shoes/toe straps.

The battery pack has to be mounted on the bike somewhere. Saddle bag, under saddle, on frame or in pocket. The battery sits in a cordura style holder with a velcro strap on it to help mounting.

It has four settings. two levels of full beam brightness, flashing and strobe.
The strobe option is ridic.

I actually have 2 sets of the** *no2 lights, boxed and new.***

cheers

The one that is still available is the stem in picture 11.

The 2nd stem is a 1R model. Its not in wonderful condition, would require a fair amount of polishing.
The reach is 100.
The long fixing bolt is there with the conical wedge.
The part that appears to be missing is the serrated wedge that sits inside the bar clamp ring. The bolt is there with the threaded wedge part that pushes against the missing part.
If you look at www.classicrendezvous.com/Italy//
Cinelli, third section, middle photograph, this shows the inside of the clamp ring.
(Missing when I bought, but the seller did not tell me!!)
Stem will need fair amount of polishing to make it 10/10 (It's probably a 6/10 now).

(Travelling up early on my BMW R1200RT)

Signed up today. 70 squid including camping (and you stick your car next to the tent) seems pretty cheap/easy

err, don't think that you do now.

Mentions separate car park and wheelbarrows provided to help carry stuff from car park to camping field.

yesterday i went to margate on a beano and purely by coincidence there was a massive motorcycle meet up. lots of scooters and leather waistcoats with "brotherhood this" and "chapter that" emblazoned on the back. ace cafe had a stage playing rock n roll. margate was alive.

did anybody go?

Yep. I should have gone back to the home town and seen the folks as well.

It was an Ace Café do with the Trustees of Dreamland - 40th Anniversary of mods and rockers fighting on the beach.....Anybody remember this?
I'm just old enough to remember.

It's not a digital RSA key if that's what you mean. It's the standard blue rectangular Barclays fob. There's an id number on the back with a barcode. That any good to you?

Can you contact Barclay Bike Hire directly?

They will know who the fob belongs to from their database. They probably will not divulge the name/address (data protection blah, blah, blah) but may be able to put the owner in touch with you.

What I plan to ride isn't ready yet, but today I got what I plan to ride in, all the way from China. No doubt various children were harmed in the manufacturing process, I'm not sure how else they can make and send me a decent quality pair of bibs and a jersey for £19 :

The bike I'm using is a Vitus 979, so I figured I may as well do a full Sean Kelly tribute :

Like the kit.

Can you spill the beans on the website where this came from?

.
Met up with Spudger and a really good there today. The setting was first class, no complaints.
The bikes on display fantastic, certainly a growing industry.

My best bike Ravens Cycles (The metallic green one).

Hi Vince did you get a chance to photograph the bars ? Cheers

Hey.

I've got some 66-42 Cinelli for sale. Will check the model.

Also a couple of stems.

Will pm you some pics.

@theoryswine

Liking that. Very nice.

I'm interested in this.

I have a Holdsworth Professional 1981 that is a little too big for me. In about the same order as your Claud Butler.
Will check the measurements.

Fancy a swap, or just the cash.

Can you post?

Let me know.

Wow.

I was trying to work out the connection between the photographs. Now its clear.

My mk1 skoda octavia vrs has a big puddle of water in the front and rear driver's side footwells. It's got a lot worse over this last week whilst it's just been sat in the street parked up. The internet says the scuttle's likely blocked with leaves and water's getting in through holes for loom and bonnet catch.

I have no idea how to sort this. What a bollox.

Scuttle panel, usually plastic is panel between bonnet and windscreen underneath windscreen wiper arms.

You will need to get a few tools together, a bucket of soapy water, J cloths (or similar).

Remove windscreen wiper arms.
Lift up plastic over at end opposite to blade. Remove nut. (13 or 14 RING spanner). You will probably then need a puller to slacken the arm off the splines of the operating spindle (Machine Mart, approx. £12 or so).
Open bonnet.
Remove the plastic scuttle panel. On the left and the right you will probably see pools of water. Remove with J Cloth. Rinse out all of the area with the soapy water to remove X years of gunge.
Now take a careful look into the cleaned area. You should be able to see a hole where the water from screen, roof area can drain out. You may have to poke out with a screwdriver blade. Pour in some water, or use garden hose sprayer. You should see water running out from underneath the car.
Job done.
Reassemble.
(Use copper slip on splines when re-fitting the wiper arms)
(Also, whilst you are in there, lubricate wiper mechanism - 3in1 or similar)

Simples.

That is so, so sad.

I'm not angry, yet, but really upset.

Just got Huawei Ascend P2, android 4.1, 4G ready (Apparently 3 will upgrade all 4G ready devices up when 4 is available), 13mp camera, on 3

Very slim, good resolution on screen.

That's all I know so far.

Holdsworth alive and kicking at Planet X. This plus other models.
