Rented our flat while travelling for 6 months, looking to move in 18 months/2 yrs time and rent the flat out. Would be a small fee to change the mortgage. One learning - DO NOT USE PURPLE BRICKS to manage the letting/home.
-
Everything is fine.
-
Dibs! Pm incoming
-
he was saying there is definitely collusion.
-
Only right at the end from what I remember. Don’t think I have the route saved but will dig out from the books file.
Found the Lost Lanes route, only 10 days later!
-
Humble brag: I’ve found it once - got the route from the first Lost Lanes book. Will try and find the route.
-
That sounds perfect!
-
One day I'll own a shand...
-
Only if spd ready.
Seriously, 650b has blown my mind this morning.
-
Problem is now all I’m thinking is “If I’m going 650b I might as well get a front dynamo light setup...”
-
Ooh, hadn’t thought of 650b. May do a bit down the line. Have run out of cash so can’t even replace the brake cables!
Brakes are spongy, so a perfect excuse for 650b plus long reach brakes.
-
Nice! Whats the drivetrain/chain ring set up? Is it a praxis or similar as I’m debating compact vs semi compact.
-
It’ll buff out. However, can’t really put any weight on it as the cut is on the fleshy bit between my thumb and index finger which means riding a bike is a no for a week.

Bike is coming together- have swapped out the bars for nitto randonneuers from the parts bin. Original bars did not want to come out so rubber mallet got an outing.
Got hold of some 9 speed dura ace downtube shifters but don’t appear to have a friction mode? Will need to take a proper look but may have to return them.
Also won some 1993 shimano brake levers on eBay that look great and work perfectly so very happy with those.
Other than that, will be putting on a pair of cheap boardman pedals then waiting till I can afford new wheelset and groupset.
Oh, and just stabbed myself in the hand removing that fucking bartape so off to hospital for stitches.
Pics to follow.
-
Good news- shoulder getting better and the audax rat is coming together on time for the ride.
Bad news - just stabbed myself in the hand while taking off some bartape and on my way to hospital for stitches. FFS!
-
But tender but going to give it a go and see how I get on. Joy of unemployment- ain’t got anything better to do!
-
I drafted a long post but basically, Whatever happens it seems we’re fucked.
-
Isn't Hammond a remainer though? Think Tories will want a Leaver to try and stop the party imploding/more likely to win a GE if it came to it.
-
Shoulder ligaments have gone again in so may have to scratch. Ugh. Am planning to be the test ride of the audax rat bike so fingers crossed painkillers and physio heal it enough to at least do first half of the ride.
-
Mail on Sunday (I'm at the in-laws) is pushing Gove as potential successor. I really dont think its because his wife writes for them...
Various articles on the fall out of Brext / Tory party in disarray are hilarious, infuriating, bewildering and insane.
7/10 would read and lolz/cry again. -
From what I understand from this NY Times article its up to the Attorney General now and also fallout from when the report is made public? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/us/politics/mueller-report.html
-
Phew!
-
I’m just over 5’10” and the 56 frame is perfect. Found some perfect beater parts in the attic last night (drop and riser bars, brake levers etc) so PM if you need anything for cheap!

How do i cancel my new membership? I signed up as there were promises of cake?
