RIP rider

^ thanks for sharing. Good luck to authorities sharing in the few millions that have finally been awarded after being promised back in February ish.

I think we will continue to see an increasing difference in those authorities that get things done, and those that still won't or don't. It will be interesting to see this play out across the wards and boroughs, and what it means, if anything, at the next election cycle.

Cautiously optimistic 3rd dibs

Dibs and can collect if others fall through

Update on the future of the Ride London Surrey (?) 100 event: https://road.cc/content/news/50km-ride-replace-ridelondon-surrey-100-mile-sportive-278057

From memory, "managing" the impact of future sports cycling events was in an action from surrey council's cycling strategy / action plan. They have run a public consultation in which over half of surrey residents who responded do not object to the continuation of the ride100, but the council are going to get rid of it anyway.

Sounds like a good opportunity for another home county to step in (Essex?) but the hills will be missed.

Optimistic 3rd dibs here!

what kl says. I'm no expert, but from what I've seen I think it's sadly inevitable that a socialised dog will meet an unsocialised dog off lead... try not to feel guilty about it.

I've seen it happen with friends' dogs in town and in the countryside, but will be experiencing itself for ourselves at some point soon - we're in week 12-13 and about to take our puppy out for a first walk at the end of this week. Locally we've been recommended places which have a minimum of anger or stress from other dogs or their grumpy owners e.g. Shoreditch Park and Shepherdess Walk Park.

I've been reading Steve Mann's books and Ian Dunbar's stuff and they seem pretty good resources to minimise / manage these stressful issues - with some good tips around recall.

..the history of the minidisc could have be rewritten if they had opted for better placement in Jurassic Park or Groundhog Day

No word from Gaz so lets crack on woth minidiscs and player if you want it. I'll PM you. Cheers

And the wheels from this build here are for sale:

Ambrosio Crono 32h tubular rims on Bitex hubs
FMB Service Course tubs – 25mm cotton

Love the bike, and swapped these out for a more touring / long distance wheelset. Can't see me racing on this or needing to go back to this wheelset.

I'm no expert on tubs, so please visit to check them over - Wharf Road off City Road, N1.

£100 ono

Some stuff added - see photos at link above

Rapha 3/4 shorts, navy, 32" waist. Used, some wear and scuffing but life in them yet. I swear I'm also a 32" but these are tight on me (WFH / beer?) and I've since moved into Swrve's shorts which i prefer and fit me better (probably because their sizing is more "generous"). £30 ono

Barker, tan leather shoes UK9.5 (width F, i think). I don't want to post - would prefer you to try on, have a look at condition, and make sure you're happy with them. Bought a while back along with some others - the others were incredibly comfy and saw a lot of use and were resoled twice before finalling giving up one wet night walking around the west end. These tan shoes, I just don't get on with the colour unfortunately. Original soles - some wear but not much use - come and have a look and try on. £80 ono

Old eroica jersey, not official, Large, i reckon 40" chest (a bit big for me at 38"). £5 ono which will go to forum

Weighing scales, made in west germany, £5 ono which will go to forum.

Duffel bag, green, exodos.co.uk branded. Put some weighing scales in photo for guide on size. I think about 40l. £5 which will go to forum.

Some old black leather shoes uk10, nothing special at all - will head to charity shop soon unless someone wants them. £Free / forum donation

Dibs followed by PM - cheers

Pick up from N1 - don't want to post, sorry.

@roadrash sorry, @Grifffff PMd me on the day i posted, and picked up this morning (cheers - great to meet you). Sorry i didnt say anything earlier - i've not been keeping on top of messages with the arrival of a new puppy into the family keeping my attention - but thats another for a different post.. https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/165951/?offset=1750

That sounds good to me, if Gaz doesn't get back to us. Would prefer pick up so you know what you're getting, but no sweat if you want me to package up and post instead.

Cheers! i used to enjoy minidiscs - for a (short) time it felt like the future, then mp3 arrived in our lives. I began going digital with my music collection some time ago - this accelerated after a good friend left his entire CD collection in the back of a taxi after a long night DJing, and presumably drinking. He never saw that again, but he was thankful I'd already ripped most of them and added to my own collection.

Photo of player and used discs:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/mD3UX9ftMX7JhVWi8

Can't @ Gaz either @anidel

Photos show make (sony) and model. I don't have the ability to test if the removable rechargeable battery works. The player powers up OK with the DC / AC adaptor shown in photo. The player looks like it works fine - playback and buttons work including the remote shown. But i know this stuff is old and unused for a while. so lets say £20, which i'll donate to the forum in a weeks time, or return if you aren't happy.

Because it is second hand electronics - Pick up preferred - N1.

Can post minidiscs. Theres 20. Havent tested them. I'd like £15 ono

Cheers!

Photo upload test

I have about 15-20 used minidiscs for sale. I'm thinking £1 each but open to offers. Can post at buyers expense.

And an old minidisc player (haven't yet checked if its in working order but can do if theres interest).

Just dug this out of my cupboard - still available if anyone wants it? Pick up preferred N1.

Anyone aware of a craft / london beer advent calendar - wouldnt mind buying a few for friends if any are being sold, and the only ones i'm aware of are brewdog and beer52. Anything more local welcome

Yes I am! I'll message you

@Stonehedge and @mmccarthy thanks both for your replies about the cona - sadly no fondue kit here or anything else to help me (I mourn the loss of my tangia several years ago), I think the rekrow style burner is the way forward for me. Will post back on any successful coffee making

This burner sounds like what we're looking for. I would love to take it off your hands in exchange for some coffee money / money for coffee? Sorry for my slow reply - we have been in Cornwall for the week, neglecting the online world.

This is an entertaining video - thanks for creating it. You didn't comment on whether the coffee was tasty or not, but I'm glad no harm was done to your home in making it! We have an electric hob, so no luck there - I'll look for something to provide heat for the genuine "table" coffee making environment.

I'm bringing home my great uncle's great old cona coffee maker. The glass meths burner is cracked and before I buy a replacement i wondeted if anyone here recommends an alternative heating method - something with more heat control

Sorry to hear it - I hope the little one enjoys a bit of rain when out riding. I huddled under the cafe umbrellas and weathered the storm. St Peters done. Looking forward to seeing you in a future Holloway low traffic neighbourhood..
