Well done to the shimano neutral car for not hitting that cyclist with a puncture just now

Deflated air bridge?! This is an exciting day

Rough on Sergent. I need the mj popcorn gif for the comments here though.

Wiggins needs a shave.

Yep 350, marks from insertion, it's not super lay/set back but a little.

Got a Norco carbon. Will check length after my shower. Think it's long enough.

Cinelli 65-44's. Some places online say 26mm but that shouldn't be an issue.

Tenner plus post?

They really need a cleanup, the old tape reside looks nasty until you put new stuff over the top. I can probably get a train over from Paddington to Oxford cheaper than posting, if you can meet off peak daytime or something. If I can get the bike on the train I can roll over within a mile or two of the station, but don't ask me to go Didcot or Faringdon!

Also got a near-new Brooks B17 for £35 ono, or a rough Selle Concor Supercorsa in white very worn but solid for about a tenner as well.

Got a Cinelli (A1 I think) drop bars in rough condition. They were excellent (well, except tape residue), then a busted stem scratched all the beauty off the middle. Would clean up okay, still totally straight and strong. I think they're 44's.

Word of warning, if you can, pay the extra for a 'real' postage option. I had mine arrive by Yodel the other day and the guy arrived at 6:30pm. Not a problem if someone is home all day, but they even just handed it over to a neighbour before ringing my doorbell - I only realised cos I watched it happen.

Weird rubbing noise, rear wheel had shifted and rubbing on the stay... clocked it after a few minutes. Also, numberplate-less car right behind me for five mins around aldgate area. Very suspicious, they didn't even accelerate to dangerously pass me.

I'm an embarrassment... it was the fatal track-stand-bottom-step incident, never again.

Only up and down the stairs from the flat....

Standard practice then! To be honest there's probably more crap coming on them going through the car park behind the pavilion!

Just want to resurrect this one, got some open corsa slicks (ks), think the 20 mins slow roll to the track would be enough? We're talking HHV not Lee Valley.

Saturday evening was punish passed by someone that if I were to describe in simple descriptive terms without prejudice would in return label me a sexist racist I'm sure... when I tapped on the window to ask politely not to pass so close next time (I even said please), got an earful of "OH F*** OFF!", and hands waved around at me. Didn't catch that number plate. But had to call the po-po for the group of ten that started on me in the pub later that night anyway.

Also watch out for a big white van number plate ND53ODA, I forgot to log date and time, was late last week, but I was forced toward the curb as they flew wide around a bus on Rodney Rd.

Razzledog cameras were made by Dean Jones in Australia. He died last year, but would custom make them right up until he was too ill to do so. There used to be a waiting list of months and months. By the photos it looks like an older version, maybe 5 or 6 years old at least, because the back plate is similar to the one I had years ago. I'd recommend you try selling it on 'large format photography forum' or 'rangefinder forum', since your price is very very fair it should sell quick - they would cost more than double that.

Can you find an aero seatpost like the old giant one?

New cycling cap, but forgot glasses.

Streaming eyes

What a beauty

Think I could squeeze my size 9/9.5 feet into these?

Stinking cold. Can't risk a snot trail up the banking. Maybe next week.

Oh man....

Legs are burning from this past week, not sure how much use I will be tomorrow if I swing by.

@Miss_Mouse my current mitts have much less padding than my old ones, so that may be a factor indeed.

Agreed it could be setup, but I was getting this problem across three different bikes and setups, until two of those bikes got nice cushioned tape... so I'm keen to get try cushion before I change the bike. Thanks for suggestions so far.

After the numbness during this morning's two hours I think it's time to retire the VO cotton tape.

Looking at maybe the Fizik Performance 3mm, or the Pro Digital Carbon Smart Silicone, but are there any more comfortable tapes (with longer names) without being too Paris-Roubaix?
