Did you prefer it in October or now?

Haaaaaa.

It is lovely though. Its a shame the rear wheel is in a stand. It just tips the bike up a bit and spoils the geometry for me.

Autocycle and older (1960s) moped seats often used flat rails - are yours drilled at all?

Hi MrE, No the rail aren't drilled. They are pretty much identical to the ones in the picture of that strange wooden seat. This link ^ looks like it might do the job though.. Thank you so much.

Basically Mrs Itsisaboutthebike has lost the bloody seat clamp for her bike. The problem is that the rails are an odd rectangular section shape. I've searched ebay but cannot find anything.. Any ideas welcome.

The rails are similar to the these:

Took my bike to Evans once.

Thats not even funny. What were you thinking?

Haaaaa that is so funny!

This is the "Epic Fail" thread.

I know, I know I just couldn't actually believe it. Wow.

That is a LA tattoo on his arm, right?? Does he have the yellow band tattooed around his arm? Looks that way.

If the forks are Carbon I would say you are knackered. Obviously it can't be welded. Bonded? No idea. Probably not. I don't know of anyone who makes a clamp on disc mout tab.

If you bought some ally/ steel forks you could weld on a disc tab, using your new wheel, disc and caliper as a jig. Obviously you will have checked the fork and made sure it can take the forces generated by the disc brake.

Best solution would be to buy a fork with a disc tab already on it, Checking that the geometry is suitable for you and your bike.

Oh piss off Tom!

Good: A13 (CS3) 10km time trial with a tail wind.
Bad: A13 (CS3) 10 km time trial with a head wind and rain. Plus nodders with no lights/ clue.

^^ ulnar nerve compression. get some new gloves or gel inserts. i found the specialized bg range helped me when i had the same problem

I thought as much. Shitty Aldi gloves. Thanks.

^ Agreed. Riding fast through London at 6:00am when your bike is at one with you and feels like an extension of your body is pretty hard to beat. As good as any Welsh/ Scotish single track on the MTB.

Lovely bike but I've never seen the point of the rear wheel, even when Tomac used to ride one in the early nineties with drop handlebars... doing downhill!

Lovely deep rumbly noise though..

When riding I'm getting pain/ tinglyness along my forearm. Its a geared road bike with drops all setup ok, I think. Bar angle, etc all pretty normal.

I'm thinking: Shit gloves with little padding and they are a bit small and tight. Or maybe I need some gel inserts under the bar tape??

Any advice welcome.

Haters gonna hate, but I think this is mega... Just needs slamdatstem, black tape and saddle.

Dam right haters gonna hate, but I agree. That is a looker. B+

Haaaa.

It will be about 5 mins Apollo ;-)

Unfortunately they worked fine.

^ Yeah it looks like it's going that was doesn't it. what with the Team Sky Sponsorship aswell.

I'm going to look at one of those. I really can't afford it though. Hopefully they won't have my size.

^^ Jesus wept. That is so sexy. Love how the strips of colour on the frame match the DT hubs. Bravo!

^^ Yeah I just found it Dan, cheers mate. Ignore me.

Silly question:

Is there a shop I can try stuff on?? Is it here?:

Rapha Racing Ltd Imperial Works, Perren St. London NW5 3ED

I have had a rear gekko rear light for 2 weeks. I have ridden with it in the rain and one of the LED's has stopped working. Avoid.

Get anything else.

'Yaaaaaa! das super sexy!'
