^Plus the build quality of a shed and the thirst of an alcoholic in the Kalahari.....

I have no issues with anyone making a profit or buying cheap and selling for the actual worth of an item. This probably isn't a good time of year to try to sell this frame, or any other frame. But, I think you might be asking a bit much. To illustrate; I recently bought a Mercian in similar condition and degree of collectability for half the price you're asking, complete with BB and headset. The price you are asking is 'collector only', there are many usable frames out there for much less. It is a lovely frame, but you'll either have to be patient or drop the price (the £425 you were offered was a good price), maybe re-advertise in April. Sorry to be negative, I'm trying to be realistic.

If you like your GF, new fork!

Got out of Saarf London 25 years ago, still can't get Saarf London out of me!

Yep, pm me the length you need and your address, no charge.

I don't care what kind of wheelset you used on your previous build, this is my build..

That told me then! No insult/thread hijack intended....

Thrust: bog off, they're mine I tell you!

^Roadkill.

Damn, failed on 2 criteria.

Marmite?

^You wouldn't want to behind Chris Hoy's dad in the pie queue....

Let me guess: fakey Chinese seatpost, bars and saddle? Top man! It's just that I got the best aero/weight/looks balance for my last build with 38x23mm 'U' shape UD carbon rims on the hubs you're using, bladed spokes, for £280, which I thought was pretty damned good (you're not having them!). What is your wheel build going to be and what will it cost?

Before I open a new chains packaging I need to make sure it will wrap around a 50t chainring and 32t lowest rear sprocket, chainstay is 43.5cm (50/34 chain set and 12/32 cassette . How many links am I likely to need?

Use a quick link and set the chain length with the chain on 50/32 with the derailleur arm at about 45 degrees. If the derailleur doesn't have enough movement to tension the chain on 34/12 remove more links. Remember that you shouldn't be using the 50 with the 32, so it doesn't matter too much if this combination doesn't work.

PS: I presume you have got a long arm derailleur, I doubt that any short arm one will cover this range.

PPS: Are you climbing walls?

Fair enough, but all the other components say otherwise! In all honesty, wheels are the last place to save cash and the most effective place to save weight.

Out of interest, why didn't you get the Novatecs built onto carbon rims by a nice Chinese person?

^For onlookers!

pub sled heaven, on a windless day....

Fixed

Par for the course anyway. You've been fucking us for years.

Rank ingratitude! After all the nice Highland clearances we gave you!

Well what the fuck else would we do with them?

Send them to Dammit, he was proposing eating people (politicians at least).

'Don't care' is the equivalent of 'None of the above' and would win most polls. Public apathy is the answer to nothing, for once Australia has it right with enforced elections (but I suspect Mickey Mouse gets a lot of votes).

They already have their own language,would their National flag be composed of Burberry check?

Pitbull rampant, on a ground of sludge brown?

their principal objective is not to govern, but to be re-elected.

Removing a large number of unwinnable seats can only help the Tories.

Pardon me for being so far up my own arse as to quote myself, nergs expected.

^With an Ultegra groupset costing about £550 on average, it's hard to argue with £450 for the rest of the bike!

Don't worry Dooks, if you're really good at cycling they'll have you as a true Scot soon enough (based on the English approach to nationality and the current Scottish rugby selection policy).

^If that's ok with Specialized.

Watch out for those sneaky Norwegians, they're looking for World news domination under the cover of Reuters.

There should be a Robert the Bruce clause to the referendum.

Kent is the garden of England, the Medway Towns are the compost heap. Grant them independence now and force them to twin with Roubaix.

Politicians will never take a dimunition of 'their' territory or powers lying down. Remember too that their principal objective is not to govern, but to be re-elected.

I don't doubt the abilities of the Scots, but I do doubt their chances of negotiating a clean exit on favourable terms when all the ingrained interests of England and the wider EU seem to be against them.

^Thought you might like to teach him the error of his ways!
