Belper Derbyshire, it's hardly Siberia. I keep staring at the thermostat temp willing it to rise. On the upside if you want outside aircon to chill your drinks this is the product for you

Exactement. it'll be reserved for Hipster Heating in 20 yrs time, sitting next to their 'vinyl' player

currently weak but looking like it could put a man in space

My curent opinion of air source heat pumps...

It's the Daiken. Thanks for the explanation. I have to say the control panel is funky but it's all a bit Campag atm

Thanks, the guys are here now but of course they need a 'part' and it's 'on order' they are now saying that the sensor in question (fitted this week with the system) 'may' have been second hand... FFS!

New to this thread. Just had an air source heat pump fitted by Octopus. Doesn't appear to be working entirely correctly as the hall thermostat temp isn't triggering a kick in for heating. Top heating temp registered so far is 19c. Hot water temp seems ok. I really don't understand how this shit works and please no-one say it's a fridge in reverse as I have that in bold letters on my heat pump bingo card.

Sweet

This is fast become the @marxist_vulcan appreciation society!

Yet another shout out to this forumer for great comms and packaging on the part he sold me.

Really looking forward to catching up with him in person at some point.

this forum is now a Timeshare hot house. Hello the 1980's want their schemes back!

If anyone is looking for something more aero I found this Lo Pro...

Stack height on the turrets looks good

Loving your enthusiasm for your bike dude

Circa 1360? Are the electrics part P compliant?

Wish it was bigger

I fell out of love with my Dolan. When I first got it I thought it was brilliant then other bikes came along (Canyons) and it felt dead to ride thereafter

Gullis not even getting an interview post defeat. who knew that behaving like an idiot and demonstrating you are as thick as pigshit would have post MP impact. Peak schadenfreude for me.

If your commute is sub 3km then the bike is doing exactly what you want without being a theft risk.
I'm guessing the lack of response is down to a heavy wheelset.

If at some point you have access to a set of half decent single speed wheels slip them on and see if that's the difference

It gets to sit next to me at work for a short while

Minor update

The usual post bike purchase internet trawl has revealed that the bike is in fact a 1978 PR10. I'd thought it was from 1977 but I was yesterday years old when I discovered that the Maillard Normandy hubs have the week and year of manufacture stamped on them. the front is week 21 of 78 and the rear week 22 of 78.
Other than the chinese saddle annd modern spongy black bar tape the bike is all original and in pretty good nick. It's a 60cm which is at the lower end of size for me (ideally it would be a 62cm) but II think it may be a bit of a sweetie.
With regard to the saddle I have a honey coloured Brooks B17 at home which may get a run out

Was thinking about that. I'm guesssing the spacing is 126mm so would need a bit of coldsetting. I'll see how I get on with the 'hard man' gearing first.

Ha ha! Yes so do I, the ultimate 70s/80s upgrade.
Research suggests it's a PSN 10 atm
