Nice - love those semi-vertical d/outs. 8)

Er, good luck without a front brake, fixed or freewheel! :shock:

If you've never ridden Clement No. 1 Seta Extra tubs at 130psi, you haven't lived! I still remember the sound of these on the concrete slabs of the Southend Arterial Road in the early 1980s - like someone tearing silk cloth next to your earhole! 8)

Very nice! 8)

I now have four .... ? Strangely enough, three are on/flash/off and the fourth (first one to arrive) is on/dim/off. Is everyone elses on/flash/off?

Softride! Is that the one that has a diving board with a saddle on it? :?

The photo on the telly with him riding in a blue vest was taken in the 2008 RTTC National Hill Climb Championships.

TV is so shite that I now only watch The Simpsons and any decent films. 8)

Better then than now. Good pix. Thanks for sharing. 8)

I occasionally let someone try them for a minute or so (like an MTB mate who had never ridden SPDs before) but they never take them far away from my sight.

Isn't it supposed to have about a 72-tooth chainring? :?

Just about to post 'get the first bus out of there' before I re-read and saw it wasn't Croydon! :oops:

Nice, but I'd be a bit wary about riding near them ... I've seen 'Godzilla'! :shock:

You must be better tham me, Matt - mine always looked like I'd accidentally left a boiled sweet glued to the rim before I put the tub back on. :oops:
