That is a thing of beauty.

I can't decide if I like how it looks, or utterly hate it. Wouldn't mind a ride to see how it feels which would influence my decision. Currently sitting on the "it's a bit of a hideous monster" side of the fence.

From a few articles I've read, it seemed that someone died in 2009 as well. Risky race!

I must have been in the same set off group as you Salty - left at 9.21 and got in at 12.47. Went to Brown's Salthouse with some mates for (much needed) food afterwards and there were still people rolling by at 4pm. That's a long day! I think the wind was at its worst when you turned to ride...

Must be, I'm sure my number is 19-something. Cheers again for the info. Alp*Willi, it's much appreciated!

Sorry Alp*Willi, couple more questions: 1 - Do you have to wear a helmet? The letter I got with my registration pack says 'No helmet, no ride'. I prefer to go au naturale, but if I have to... 2 - Is it all on road? I can stick my knobbly tires on, but I'd prefer slicks if possible...

Ah, I see! Yep, gonna be a good day I reckon - hope the weather stays like this.

Cheers for the info Alp! Sounds like they let everyone off in a big pack from what you're saying, is that right? At the Cyclone they were sensible enough to release in groups of about 60/70. I'm doing it with a couple of mates from work. Should be a good one!

Yeah, I've decided to swerve this one. Cheers for the information and advice folks!

A mate of mine has offered to sell me his Eddy Merckx bike - he's looking for £80. I've had a bit of a hunt 'round the net and I'm pretty sure it's a Super Prestige. Can't find much more info than that, and I was wondering if any of you chaps had any more info about them? Most...

Awesome, I will do. Cheers Terry!

Terry, thanks for the info. Apologies for the n00bish question, but what is TPI? I'm assuming it has something to do with threading, but I could be wrong.

[Long time reader, first time caller and I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to the retro & build side of things] I am planning to purchase a Sun Super 5, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about them? I've not been able to find out much from the t'internet, and had a search here but...
