Popping in for a chain and walking away with a fancy new jacket is a hell of an escalation. Great work. The Vigorelli is looking great as well. Would look better with an all silver chainring to match the wheels and finishing kit though I reckon!

They come off again.

Yeah, fucking hell. I wasn't expecting that much detail! I'd be upset getting that on a soft but of my arm.

@Thrasher are the tyres any good for The Bike Project do you reckon? I massively can't be arsed with eBay and postage.

Damn! The dreams of the skrtluv yacht current project thread have crumbled before my eyes.

If it's a Kashimax, it's probably worth more than the rest of the bike! They're going for silly money these days. Replace it with a bit of bar tape and put a deposit on a house.

In 2000 the spending was £7.5bn, £13.93bn in today's money.
In 2000 the population of the UK was 58.9m, in 2024 it's 68.5m.

Bit of back of a napkin maths (not my strong point so happy to be corrected!), spending is up by nearly 70% per capita, adjusted for inflation since the millennium.

For 2023/24 "In the UK, the total amount of public spending on the police service is £27.3 billion, the highest amount ever spent. "

It's not underfunding, it's the fact that the police aren't and never have been designed to actually keep people safe.

Any interest in the tyres at £12 before I brave ebay?

What made you settle on the K6? I'm also after a hand grinder for filter but haven't looked into it properly yet. That seems around the right price point so if I can just skip the whole research process and just copy you that'd be ideal!

I actually love the DIY flap! Beats the boring ones I made out of a black plastic folder.

I do love that recipe but I made something quite similar tonight and have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

Absolute chaos

Any suggestions for banging Italian recipes? I've got The Sopranos finale lined up for tomorrow and want to do it justice. Mock gabagool would be ideal but may be asking too much.

Thanks! Just ordered something from Tracksmith. Much appreciated.

Never mind, just won 2 of the bastards on eBay by mistake. I can't decide which is uglier. Will report back on rump comfort levels.

Sorry to invade the running thread as a non runner! My step dad bloody loves it though and I'd like to get him something for Christmas. My mum has suggested a long sleeve top of sorts. What's the Rapha of running? I think he'd like something pretty versatile so maybe something to wear on it's own when it's milder and under another layer when it's cold. Maybe merino?
Any suggestions very much appreciated!

Blimey. Any idea if they were testing them on the spot to see if they were legal? I guess some things (throttles etc) are pretty obvious but I can't see them testing the speed etc there and then.

I'll let you know if bebe doesn't end up taking them! It looks pretty certain though I'm afraid.

Pedals gone pending pickup/payment etc.

I should have said, I can post for an extra £4 if no interest locally.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago but for some reason I don't get on with it on the bike it's intended for, despite being a very similar fit to a different bike that a C15 feels great on.

Photos pinched from original listing. Collection from SE20, E20 or anywhere in between.

I paid £40 and I'd like to pass it on for the same.

SOLD

I like my Wahoo Element. Much less complicated and fiddly than the 530 I had! The drawback is that if you deviate from the path, it won't correct you. I think posher models do though.

You've not met my cat. He's 11 and he still loves jumping on me from the wardrobe in the middle of the night.

Thanks for the drill suggestions gang! Will have a look into those and see what's on offer when I'm a bit more flush after the new year.
