ah, my bad - but therefore you have a doppelgänger with similar cannondale bike taste..

@amey on the train with his bike this morning..

Ah ok that's good to know. I think FD will specify Countrywide, but I wondered if as well as them doing their basic valuation (at their own cost) whether I should do a separate, more thorough survey.

As the house is only 20 years old or so, I'm hopeful there's nothing too inherently wrong with it..

Just had my offer accepted on a place in Forest Gate. Apparently that was the easy bit! I'll be tapping up @tommmmmmm for tips no doubt...

Surveyors - my mortgage will be through First Direct who use Countrywide and the fee for their fullest survey is circa £750. I'm happy to pay for something more extensive than a Homebuyer report, but is that on the high side? Any local recommendations in East London?

Decent price for all that kit..

Is this still free, I would like it please!

Dibs the softshell!

another yes to cleat screws - bought some Sidi's off here that the cleats were rusted solid into. Amazingly, the last place after a long list of LBS that couldn't remove it.....was Evans. Thank you Evans.

What about this? https://www.thetileapp.com/how-it-works

Agree re the 800 vs 810 debate. I don't know anyone who stumped up the extra cash for the 810 so that they could bluetooth their rides to their mobile phone...I'm sure there are actual improvements to the 800 but they aren't obvious to a techno-simpleton like myself.

I am not sure about outside of the UK, but for domestic navigating:

I have done this on my 800 and it worked a treat. Had to buy a 2GB MicroSD card for about £4, but that's a lot cheaper than basemaps. However I'd be interested to know if the Garmin certified are much better..

Dr Who's got a bit niche?!

Chapeau....

Thanks again - happy cyclist now has turbo in his life - great seller.

Awesome - keep the photos coming please.

PM'd re the trainer wheel

If like the rear wheel and cassette.

Thanks dan. I did UTFS but was still a bit unclear..

The next bike is slowly coming together in my head, and, as a custom frame it would seem like a good excuse to try them given all the positive comments they receive on here.

noob question - what's the weight penalty of running disc brakes over calipers?

I like these builds as an alternative to the 53 pages of arguing over Shimano vs Campag. Often you see decisions made to support a love for a particular piece of metal, not trying to shave 36 grams off a wheel weight.

Bravo! And more pictures please.

Accidentally in my morning fuzziness turned onto the A12 by Bow and spent 90 seconds of minor panic trying to cross 3 lanes of rapid lorries heading for the Blackwall tunnel. Never been so happy to see the awful road surfacing of Hackney Wick. For all the drivers, sorry, but at least I hope you got the joke of a 95kg man on a track bike wearing KOM polka dots.

Apologies if this is a repost..

The decals on the Matt Black PC just peeled off...sorry a bit late if you've already sandpapered the frame down..

What time do they usually meet at High Beech out of interest? I may meet there on Sunday..

check out Dungeness. Weird, but very cool.
