Good point! Egham/Staines for evening and weekend pickup, Teddington during the day. Otherwise I can post it probably for around £15

Frame 2. 52cm Vitus 979. Frame measures 52cm ctt on the seat tube and about 53.5 ctc on the top tube. Note: someone ground off the shifter bosses so it has a band-on mount for indexed shifters.

Since discovering size 26 blades I’ve never touched another 10a. The question has always been what to do with that old pack of blades in my toolbox and now, finally, I have the answer.

You send me a PM?

This is allegedly the new RA618H Honda engine in the Torro Rosso, on display at Suzuka. Images pinched from the F1 technical forum.

GIFs thread is dying out there >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Gold. More yo dawging please.

maek diskZ

I don’t think I posted a pic of my ratty gold bike since I repainted it. Without the patina I sort of feel like it lost something, but then it’s gained something at the same time.

Spirit of HHSB. Classic look.

Yeeeaaah boiiiii!

Even if the power is like-for-like, simple fact is the Honda has had fewer failures than the Renault. Red Bull's points count would be quite a bit higher just by taking out the DNFs.

Plus on the Renault engine there are lots of parts just on the externals that I can see that Red Bull could make better (lighter, stiffer, stronger) out of composites, because Renault are not capable yet. And the simple fact is the Red Bull chassis is slightly compromised by the way it has to be designed around fitting the Renault engine, which itself is designed specifically for the Renault chassis, not Red Bull's. With the Honda engine, the two will be designed together.

Kimi has a lot of valuable knowledge about the Ferrari engine and how Ferrari deploys the hybrid system. This is not a standard setup shared throughout all the Ferrari-engined teams, they have to work that bit out for themselves. Because Sauber run a Ferrari engine, they can immediately make their car faster by using whatever deployment strategy Kimi tells them Ferrari would use.

I would expect similar has happened with Daniel Ricciardo. He knows all about the hybrid deployment strategy that Red Bull uses on the Renault engine. Renault know they aren't using one as good as Red Bull because they can see it on the telemetry and they can see where they are losing pace. They aren't that far behind Red Bull in the grand scale of things and this is one thing which could mostly close the gap, along with having a top driver.

Danny Ric must be kicking himself now he knows there's a seat at Ferrari though. That's where he wanted to be really, he could have been a championship winner there.

Engine oil is fine but it’s a bit smelly. Castrol R 40 is what you want if you want it to smell like it lives on a vintage race circuit like Goodwood, Brooklands etc.

Any modern bike oil is also fine and a lot less smelly!

I had some done a while back just at a local signwriters, who mostly did cars and vans. They had a vinyl cutter and a stash of vinyl in stock. I just gave them my artwork and they cut it out for me. They had a selection of different thicknesses, glosses and tack levels on the vinyls. It might be worth just walking into a local place and seeing what they've got?

Having said that, I need to get some 550mm circles cut from gloss white and I can't find anyone here in my new area. Maybe I was just lucky in South London because there were loads of places like that still around. Place I used was on Croydon Road in Beckenham but I can't remember what they were called.
