Time trialling is hard work when you've had 3 months to forget what hard work it is. Horrid headwind and 3 miles on the little ring today.

Wife and kids came to cheer me on, saw lots of old mates and fell in love with this:

^thats how i make my coffee at home.

Who's out testing tomorrow? Our club has a 9.6 mile sporting TT, i'm going to ride out to it and take part on my road bike, it'll be a nice 35 mile round trip to blow the cobwebs out. Quietly hoping to secure the first piece of silverware for next year.

In that case i'd get a cafetiere from the supermarket if you dont already have one and a nice bag of preground coffee from a good roaster in town or mail order and go from there. No need to spend a lot on kit.

I'd only advise getting an espresso machine if you really want a new hobby. Often people like milk drinks because coffee is mostly horrid; make a lovely filter coffee or cafetiere brew from nicely roasted fresh coffee and it will be a revelation to most, they'll probably not want lots of frothed milk.

Or a Silvia obvs! They dont often change hands for £150, especially for a well looked after one.

Used Gaggia Classic is the only thing that fits the bill at that price, and that wont really be worthwhile without a grinder. Sounds like milk is a priority?

Nice one. Looks great :)

Ah result, you got it!

Sunn O))) Live on 6 music with Mary Anne Hobbs right now. The BBC is just amazing.

Love that new Roots Manuva album, should have put that on my list.

Its quite genuinely nightmarish, i've never heard anything like it. It's really piqued my curiosity and fascination, i just can't imagine the cicumstance where i think i really want to listen to a bit of industrial white noise. Maybe on the turbo before a time trial, though a bit of Sleaford Mods' anger will do the trick there.

Edit, i just watched Sunn's Brando video with Scott Walker (that's an incongruous collab). I'm a bit disturbed. Still, better to be disturbing than mundane. I'm pleased with this discovery, ta very much.

I'll give it another listen.

Just had a listen to Sun O)) as thats the first time i'd heard of them, him, her. That's dark.

Always been a fan of Paul Heatons various work but i really didnt enjoy that album, made me cringe a little bit. One or two great tracks but some were a bit cheesy for me.

Sleaford Mods - Key Markets
Guy Garvey - Courting the Squall
Moon Duo - Shadow of the Sun
Gaz Coombs - Matador
Low - Ones and Sixes

Not the hardshell unless its constantly raining and below about 5 deg, which isnt often i found. Got rid of mine.

Thanks @WestcoastPete that's a nice installation. I'll get the BB out and take a look at the access, sounds like a doable option exiting through the BB shell and clipping the cable to the nds chainstay. I would probably use a rivnut to reinforce the hole in the down tube.

@skully now I'm looking at custom framebuilders to replace a frame I love. I knew this would snowball...

Thanks @Greenbank but it's more that I love how integrated and fit for purpose this permanent lighting system is, and I would like to run the cable internally to make the whole thing more tidy. If this bike didnt have carbon forks I would be tempted to drill them too.

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but the only thing I'm not loving about my dynamo setup is the cable running along the top tube. My frame is Reynolds 725, drilling it should be OK, especially near the ends of the tube, right?

This tasting flight nonsense ends here. Macaroni cheese FFS.

Here is Josh talking through our taster paddle of Mac n Cheese #6shadesof macncheese.

Just fuck off.

Great choice, you'll love it :)
