Have no knowledge of these at all, but seems kind of cool for £79 and comes with all original paperwork: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156381599155?

This is great information about projects I was unaware of. May be beneficial to us going forwards. Thanks.

I'll just bump this once...he's already beaten his goal...

Have found replacement fork graphics, so will remove and replace.

Stem graphics definitely going - they are terrible.

Also contemplating removing the scrappy Colnago decals from the fork. I think the frameset is busy enough as it is...

7 years later and I'm finally getting round to building this.

Managed to get a basically new Force 22 mini groupset for a steal and have ordered matching cranks to go with it. Not at all period correct, but should be fun to ride!

The rest of the bits were on the spares cupboard/lying around. No idea what the bars are as graphics were removed - think perhaps Deda or maybe Ultimate Use. Current plan is:

• Change headset to a black one - need to transplant Cane Creek from old frameset
  
• Deda Superleggero stem (previous owner cut steerer very short so need low stack)
  
• Have some Praxis chainring to go on the Force 22 cranks
  
• Maybe consider shallower wheelset, but that will have to come later...
  
  

Hi @Velocio - please let me know if this is not allowed. Couldn't see anything in the rules (but there are a few so may have missed).

A few years ago, my septuagenarian father in law retired and soon after purchased a bike, which turned out to be a fantastic investment. An estimated 20,000km later, it is clear that he has benefited significantly from the many health and wellness benefits that we are all aware of as members of a cycling forum.

In 2022, he completed a cycling challenge where he raised money for the Alzheimer's Society. He is currently completing a similar challenge throughout August, but this time with much more personal meaning, as he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in autumn of last year. The original goal was to complete 100 miles in August, but he has smashed through that, and it looks like he will complete over 300 miles during this period, which is hugely impressive all things considered.

I suspect that many members of this forum are of an age where we are starting to be affected by dementia, primarily through our parents. The Alzheimer’s Society is working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives, and I would appreciate any support for my father in law as he tries to raise money for this worthy cause. At the same time, I understand that times are tight, so if you are unable to donate, some Strava Kudoses (Kudi?!) would be greatly appreciated!

The link to donate can be found here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/simon-armson-1722535754265

Thanks.

I think that really short rocky field side bridleway in the first pic gets everyone by surprise on their first trip round the new forest

Ha, gold star! I've been on a few trips there, but first time on that section. Very tight and plenty of stinging nettles. No way you're getting a horse down there! Was great fun tbf, and a highlight of a pretty mega day.

The many faces of English Bridleways.

Does not include the downhill rutted SFAB section that concluded with mild concussion and potential cracked rib.

Nearly everything is gone - some further drops/good deals on the last bits!

Rubbish. He loves racing a bike, irrespective of the discipline.

But the money is in road racing and he's only really dabbled in it so far, he needs to commit for the next couple of years to see where his ceiling is.

But a Grand Tour isn't just 'racing a bike' is it. Have to deal with travel, media, politics, essentially living with the same people for a month etc etc. It's a hassle. Also, much of the riding is boring compared to bombing around an XC course. Not every day is the Galibier descent.

And as for 'dabbled', he's done 4 GTs lol.

Always seems like road racing is pretty boring for him and all a bit of a pain the the arse compared to MTB. Clearly just doing it for the wonga.

This is still available...£80

Updated and further drops. Grab a bargain!

D’une autre planète!

That looked bad

Had Ultegra R8000 with 46/36 and RX rear derailleur for ages and it worked great. XT 11-40 cassette worked well and gave pretty decent range.

Wife has identical setup on a small frame and it still works well.

Seen some R8000 groups going for good prices and looks nicer than GRX.

Updated and further drops!

Absolute chaos!

On itvx? I was abroad last week and it was telling me I'm outside the UK and couldn't watch the content

VPN/other sources...

Adverts for funeral services>>>>>actually dying>>>>>>>>>>>>>Adam Blythe

ITV website showing fuck all. Think I'll just be watching highlights from now on.

Not sure what the issue is?! I'm half way around the world and managing to watch live on ITV4 fine. Only problem is the relentless life insurance and cremation services adverts.

Stop ruining St Cavendish day for us

Cav!
