Saturday ride Sorry chaps, I can't do either Saturday or Sunday mornings this week (part payment for 3 tribes) but I should be OK either afternoon in the Charnwood/Ticknall ish areas. JohnB

3 tribes DIY 50% complete so passout stamped and validated. Anyone want to share a lift from Loughborough area? Certainly got room for one more (assuming Rob wants a lift again). JohnB

You picked another good day for a ride Ed: so based on that and last Thursday on the long minge this coming Thursday will also be brilliant. BUT it's my daughter's birthday so con't make it

Thanks for a fantastic day out Rob and Ed: Must spend less time working and more riding. It was good to meet a Paul and Pete, and I'm still not sure whose idea it was to give them the slip. Fantastic last blast down: got a bit of everything for everyone to enjoy and fear. We will have to...

Yep, when and where? Please text or something if poss JB

Sorry about the tyres. I can't imagine anyone being jealous of you going to Disneyland, but what do I know? I can't do Saturday. A front mech has just arrived which looks like it will give me reasonable clearance so all being well I plan to roll out the "big wheel" on Sunday if anyone can...

I'm aiming to be there and happy to share a lift. JohnB

Actually I was thinking of scratches and chips so why be precious about something you know you are about to abuse? I've tried to add some photos of work in progress before it gets damaged. JB

Oranges are not the only fruit Oranges are not the only fruit. John Whiteman has managed to produce the whole citrus family from super-smooth non-waxed limes through orange and even on to ugli. An impressive achievement all on one frame! The moral of the storey: unwrap and inspect the...

Powder Coaters Derbyshire I have tried a few in the area, mainly for motorbike frames which have been black. Everyone does black, the cheapest I found was Wards in Burton on Trent. They did a really good and I even trused my Kilauea to them: £30 frame, forks and stem. CJ Ward unit3...

Crankcase BB Thank goodness for Retrobike and the thread, and most importantly the instructions that someone has very helpfully attached. I have just blundered into buying one of these: at my age I know should know better: I'm a mug for a bargain. They look well made and I'm sure that...

Post subject: XT or XTR: Sorted Thanks to everyone who replied I have provisionally accepted one from a PM. If it falls through I'll be in touch. Cheers, John

Xt or XTR rear mech wanted. I'm not too fussy about age (mid to late 90's???) but nothing too battered please. Thanks for looking, John

Kona Impact Headset Thanks for pointing that out. I have a 1" steerer and the head tube is 34mm diameter if that helps. Thanks, John

Anyone got a good Impact headset and seals, including that one that fits round the stem? Its for ?'93 Kilauea. Thanks, John

Mark S 10.10 Sunday: Just found out that Mark was discharged from Hospital yesterday afternoon. That just has to be the most amazing news ever. Mark: don't ever get out of buying a round like that again. JB

Bit Harsh Thats why I found her so attractive

kilauea Hi there I'm definitely interested in the frame, forks, stem & headset. Possibly interested in a few other bits. Please call 0777 55 83181. Thanks, John

Flexstem I'm new to the wonders of the site and am not sure if my previous reply got through so I'm trying "post a reply" as well. I will have the Flexstem if it is still for sale. Please call pn 0777 55 83181 Thanks, John B

Found You Thanks to Rob this is my first and probably last post. Thanks to you all for a really memorable ride. I've got some impressive bruises from that gate that isn't usually there. Unfrotunately I missed the spider's inspection of the bushes, and sorry for the rugby tackle on Phil: it...
