The new one has an Arione on it too...

and a warranty.

I am in.

Train - can do either - would sort of prefer Blackfriars as its closer to home on the way back but can easily do Victoria

I'm considering this - although i may have to go and pick up a Malm chest of drawers from a certain large Swedish shop in Edmonton....

Ha Yes - very true.

Those do look nice - but a bit 'Fair weather'! Are they tubeless ready?

I'm looking to put them on my wet weather commuter/ winter trainer - a Bowman Pilgrims with PDW guards - i'm imaging file tread gravel kings will be fairly sturdy.

They'll be replacing some very holey Pro Ones and running tubeless.

Yes - folding SKs

Tanwall Tubeless:

I was running Compass Bon Jons - worked fine - had a natural maximum pressure of about 60psi - much more and they would start to leak a bit but then stabilise.

Gravel king SKs in 'Brownwall' have been running tubeless at 60-70 psi comfortably

Both are big fat 35c so fine at these pressures.

Am after some 28c brown wall file tread gravel kings next...

Ok - wrestlers it is - will be up at 6.30 ish

Drinks tonight?

Where am I heading to...

IMO...

2 speed works brilliantly - lower gear for traffic lights, hills (have climbed Swains albeit slowly with stock gears and pedals) and pootling - higher gear for everything else. whizz off the lights in low gear - spin out - flick to high ratio - accelerate to cruising velocity (and then get overtaken...)

I'd recommend stock tyres - I had marathons on for a year and it was a revelation to put the faster, grippier, nicer riding standard tyres on.

Firm block, upgraded roller wheels, saddle upgrade, ergons maybe (but I think stock grips are ok). I use Lezyne midrange lights that stay on the bike.

S type is a lot less flexy than M and a lot lot less flexy than H.

Mudguards are a massive benefit for practical year round use. Front luggage is really handy too - like Corny says - S bag is great. That said you can just hang a rucksack off the bars for casual storage - no risk of anything getting caught in the tiny wheels.

Sportful Fiandre light would be within tax refund budget - mine's been great

Yes - good call Oliver.

It's hard to imagine being anywhere other than Table 73 on a warm Summer's Tuesday evening.

...on a bike - not Addi Lee.

Will make a nice change.

Choice of outdoor seating out front for the lols or in the cosy courtyard with bike parking.

Wingback chairs and fireplaces inside.

I think the Flask has had a huge boost this year from poor George Michael's death. It has papered over the cracks in the management all Winter and half the Spring - Fullers probably think they've got a star team in place looking at the year on year numbers - might take a while for them to realise the true picture.
Hopefully they will get some better management soon.

When Flask started clearing the chairs away we decamped to the Wrestlers who made us very very welcome - really friendly staff and punters - lovely walled garden which we took the bikes into - nice range of ale.

£4.

Fries for £3.50

But why would you have chips when you could have a smoked fish/ german sausage platter to share?

Nice bar menu at the Wrestlers....

Nice to meet you Rich!

Time sheet: Well done Russel!

I'm surprised that parrot's upright given some of the noxious gasses produced by it's owner.

Lovely pics, lovely night. Great to see you all!

@pinkgottimobbs can put his Santa outfit on for the occasion.

Pint time I think.

Arvy - uber is great for getting small babies to sleep...

Only one hill - it's a good one though!
