Jeremy Beedl has a tiny cock. But on the other hand, its massive

Gutted to hear another has been struck down in his/(and increasingly)her prime. I cannot imagine the pain her loved ones must be going through. Just terrible. What words can you offer in such circumstances? I just hope that the show of support in this thread helps in some small way. To hear about the Pownders road incident just makes me more glum. I hope the Angels up there ride fixed, but I suspect they prefer Dutch bikes.

Hope the LCC keeps up the god work, IMO we should all support them. Their idea re Bike Tube and led rides for novices are sound ideas, but I guess that's another thread too.

Its a great effort. I gave him a few nickels too. Ive been to that part of world (Iran/PK) and its very remote. The fact its not governed in any meaningful way by central gov makes it doubly hard to be on a bike in the middle of the desert.

If you really want to cycle round the world without any breaks it would mean at least crossing the frozen Barents Sea. Don't fancy that much, but could be done using a pedallo if it warms up a bit? I think its just a case of racking up milage equivalent to the earth's circumference or some such.

My wife loves her Koga Miyata. A little above the budget stated, but Solid.

Do you know how many sprockets it has on its rear cassette? That may give you some clue. I recently finsihed a refurb on a Peugot I rescued from a skip in Hackney and its worked well for me. I waa going to get it reprayed, but Ive grown to like its battered look (and its especailly good for leaving outside the pub...)

Dont want to put you off, but i found GT a bit sweaty. I found jackets made from eVent less so. Id recommend teh one from DHB (from Wiggle) if you wanted to widen the net, or the Pace 3x3 (they dont have hods tho!).

I also love icebraker, but I also meant to say that Ground Effect in NZ do cheap Merino stuff for women/girls/ladies/females/the farier s*x etc

A (female) mate of mine has the Ladies Trek equivalent of that Spec Ruby (in pink, unfortunately) and she loves it. Its seen her up & down many a dale, so perhaps worth considering (depending on what colours they do now)?
