Not my fault this time ;o) Joking aside, it doesn't sound nice. Hope you heal fast.

My mate hired a Hightower yesterday at BPW and he absolutely loved it. He was flying on it. Enthused about it the whole drive home.

Watched Minding the Gap on your recommendation and loved it. I skated through my adolescent years and beyond so didn't need much persuading. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Ha, I wasn't drunk at all when I paid a lot more for it than that. Tempted to buy it back but I'm desparately trying not to rack bikes again after a major fleet down size exercise last autumn.

This frameset is all kinds of awesome. @eilrahc the BB centre to saddle top on my set up was 75.5cm. I'm 5'9" and relatively long in the leg, short in the torso. 100mm stem and it fitted me a treat.

Do you want a F109 (31.8mm) or a F99 (25.4mm) stem? Might have an F109 in 110mm in the spares drawer but won't be able to check until this evening when I'm home...

Get a Shimano DXR v brake and lever @Dammit Problem sorted. Great video @tallsam

All this talk of bidets and I'm called out as middle class for noticing a high proportion of tracksuits on the ferry 😂 I probably wouldn't have paid them any attention if they hadn't rudely barged past me in the queue for some frankly rank grub or if some others hadn't shoved my kids around on the steep stairs just so they could be first to wait in their cars for departure.

Perhaps they were just sick of the smell from lightly soiled grundies. Or perhaps they took exception to my top hat and tails.

Joking aside, I do understand the benefits of being comfortable on a day of travelling.

Dover-Calais ferry crossings. And vice versa. They're always delayed, painfully slow in terms of checking in and the boarding process. And the boats themselves haven't seen much love since the 80s when I assume they were built. And there's usually enough leisurewear to fill 4 JJB Sport derelict distribution centres. My guess is that most of the occupants adorned in the static prone garments are not associated with any athletic clubs.

Chunnel for me from now on. Unless BoJo fills it with concrete.

My favourite show in many years. Perfect TV.

Brave man. Were you the only 2 people up the mountain? Did you hit the gaps?

There's loads of XC BTW.

Bargains. GLWS.

I suspect every mtb coach for a 30 mile radius will be free today 😉 The hard part will be finding one with an impermeable jump suit that wants to head up the mountain with you. The rain is meant to get lighter through the day though...

Are you braving it? We're having a duvet day!

Sorry folks. Didn't mean to ignite the 2nd worse debate ever.

Yeah fair comment. Its the human element of the vid that I liked. But yeah, wow what scenery!!

A friend of @Alf0nse taking the bike packing gravel grinding thing to boss level in Tibet...

I can vouch for this bike and seller. Both awesome. I was lucky enough to own it between the original owner and SS. The spidering looks really cool imo.

He's a couple of pics of my build...

Queen Vic is a peach.

Nice. My friend ordered the Norco frameset a few days ago, attracted by the price. I'll let him know that it gets a thumbs up from the lfgss council.

He probably selling my old Victoire frameset as a consequence of the incoming Norco.

You're right, but TBH having used it, it works well, is plenty stiff enough and works with bolt through hubs perfectly. Overall I think it's a good design. The frame has the same design for the rear wheel.

Don't worry, they've got government "negotiators" spending the advertising budget. For £100M they'll probably only manage a postage stamp sized ad in the back pages of Razzle.

TalkRadio between about 5am and lunchtime.

Dunno, but the geo is spot on for me and the handling is perfect for a mix of off and on road. And I have a 100mm stem on it.

The gorilla monsoon would have been my first choice (based on prior experience of the excellent macho man disc) but it only takes mtb chainsets and I wanted to use a road chainset I already owned.

Also non tapered 1 1/8" steerer limited potential fork upgrades at a later date.
