Hey, if you’ve still got the Rockstar tyres, I’ll take the, off your hands. PM me with your PayPal deets. Cheers!

Looks like books will ship next autumn (or fall, for you left pondians!). One for next Christmas! https://wendecraggcameracornerbook.myshopify.com/products/preorder-tier-3-wende-cragg-photo-book

Ha, came here to post the same thing. Sometimes the YouTube algorithm comes up with the goods. Wonderful film, and great to see some new photos from Wende. Also a pleasure to see Charlie, Joe and co re-telling the origin story too. Right, I’m off to see if I can buy the book in the UK. Will...

Slightly hard to tell from the photos, but those look like the ‘99 Pace Evo 36 limited forks. Made up from left over stock and some new ‘99 ‘radiator’ style crowns. Only 150 or so made, apparently. I have a pair on my RC200… Anyway, very nice if they are, and GLWS.

Hey, Looks like the Marin jersey will fit me nicely, and go well with my 92 Eldridge. Will PM you details for payment etc.

Nice looking bike! Dibsing this one to replace the baby Zaskar my son has grown out of… Just double checking size etc.

Great that Tomes is cycling along a straight road, because those Farmer Johns could not corner!

Took the Dyna-Tech out for a 50k(ish) ride today around a nice not too hilly route I take fairly regularly. 23c tyres pumped up to 100/110psi F/R, and good to go. actually, it was all pretty smooth. Despite the roads being mostly quiet backroads with fairly ‘heavy’ tarmac and a few potholes...

It has. I might even get out on it this weekend. Yes, it’s Ti main tubes bonded into lugs — pretty sure they’re aluminium though (thick walls anyway). The rear triangle is steel, FWIW. Hoping the noodly Ti tubes and steel rear offsets the bone shaking ride from 100psi 23c tyres!

A lot.

Bars now wrapped and NOS STI stickers attached. Bit of fettling to the headset and front hub and the bike is ready to ride. Just a shame is tipping it down outside right now! i‘ve used Cinelli black & white camo cork tape. It’s as close as I could get to the original black, white and grey cami...

Fingers were okay, it’s more my eyesight these days. Think I’m going to need one of those big light/magnifying glass combo things you see old people use! I did consider the WD40 route, but figured Shimano used a light grease on the internals for a reason. Not that they’re going to get too much...

Yeah, the RH shifter is even more complex This one took a bit more disassembly to get all the solid brown grease out. Careful laying out of the parts is key to being able to put it all back together again in the right order No parts left over!

Been pretty busy with work, ferrying children around, various events and, well, just riding my bikes. However, I’ve been making progress... Stripped everything down and gave it a thorough degrease and clean. Really everything was in great condition underneath it all. Pretty much all the grease...

Oof, makes me a little circumspect about riding my father’s old 755Ti once I’ve put it all back together. Now to find a fairly flat route to the nearest level crossing…
