It's April and bugger all has happened except the attic is getting tidier. Still got the parasites living with us, and the dog has got a new expensive life. But I've been busy, meant to write this post 8 days ago. Mainly it's been chucking out rubbish, e.g. buckets of unused XTR derailleurs...

I believe there's an instructional video on hauling kids in trailers. You should show it to your Sharron. Can't remember its name but it's by a bloke called Danny something... :)

Babymaker? My wife would never let me get one of those. She's had enough problems with my existing one...

Re: Re: If Jamie gets the job, we'll have a MacRetro day up his way. He can bring his gun from work and we can go Puffin shooting on the cliffs at Dunnet Head. Followed by a BBQ with his speciality, Puffin omelette. I suggest this day, next year.

That looks rather nice. It has the neat rear brake too.

Re: Re: Now put in a skylight to let the Sunbeams in... :)

Don't forget I got that spoke tensioner for you.

Are you sure Heather doesn't read this? Maybe you're about to meet the woman of your nightmares. How many Mercians is it worth not sending her the link? :)

Re: Re: Your kindness is only exceeded by your personal beauty... :) But I think I'll manage.

Re: Re: I've not been able to confirm it, but if it's true, I'm a goner if I get it. So now I'm looking at my bikes and thinking "Do I want to miss my what could be my last chance?" Luckily I can get a decent ride in without touching the tarmac apart from about 200 yards, and I won't be near...

Re: Re: It is outstanding and got my vote. :) I like to see them getting ridden hard like they used to be.

That got me with "Wine Gums and other Superfoods" Proper cycling literature. :)

Amazing how fate interferes with my culls. Daughter breaks ankle big time, ends up with surgery, 2 plates, plenty pain so has to be fetched home from Glasgow. Still here tottering around on a zimmer frame. Sick son from Oz still here too. Life is strange. We held on to our bigger house for...

Re: Re: Actually, that brings up a point I've been mulling over about SS events. I've talked to Jamie about this a bit too. A considerable part of the world lives in places with no spatial freedom, so they just have to ride round and round in designated playgrounds with designed features. As...

Re: SSSC 2020 Terrible idea. I like your thinking. Loads of prizes and make it fun. I'll be there with a prize contribution. :) BTW I own the domain ScottishSinglespeedChampionship.com so that could be used. It's been moribund for 10 years.

Hope there will be pics :)

I'm not sure my Windrush will want to hang out with a flash iron like that... Proper brakes though. :)

I'd never do that. :) Bicycle parts I was accumulating to build a replica Road Racer, but then I found a real one, so no longer necessary.

Time to get back on to this. Son still hasn't come up to pick up my Pugsley, so that N-1 hasn't happened. Which is unfortunate because my bike from Australia arrived, so that's N+1. Life is cruel... :) But I'm fit now and can start lumping things around and pulling stuff out of the dark...

Re: Re: No it's an original 907 from before when they introduced the model where some fat bastard sat on the toptubes. It doesn't have modern trail geometry so it's really good in its intended conditions and on climbs. As fatbikes go, it's retro. :)
