    So.. nothing like an Australian summer for keeping you out of the garage. I finished this last year, but neglected to finish this thread. I ended up replaceing the bb, cranks and seat. I managed to find (junk box in an old bike shop) a nos headset, which I didn't need but couldn't resist. I...

    I think it was 93, I remember thinking the grey looked like undercoat. Was it this one (stolen image from here http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=88323 ) [/url]

    Half Man Half Biscuit appreciation thread

    Down in the High Street somebody careered out of Boots without due care or attention I suggest that they learn some pedestrian etiquette i.e sidle out of the store gingerly Embrace the margin Fat kids with sausage rolls Poor sods conducting polls There’s a man with a mullet going mad...

    Half Man Half Biscuit appreciation thread

    Excellent stuff, the later stuff is so much better than the first 2 albums. Too many great songs to mention She stayed with me until she moved to Notting Hill She said it was the place she needs to be Where the cocaine is fair-trade and frequently displayed Is the Buena Vista Social Club...

    Well after life getting in the way for a while I am back up and running. I had to dig the powder coat out of the bb thread with a stanley knife, but I got there. I add a new bb and cranks as my originals were badly chipped and worn. New pedals as my old SPD's were all shitted up (tech term)...

    Marin Road/commuter conversion?

    Re: Easy Golf Swing with Cheap Golf Equipment You're talking about being a bit premature, right? Don't worry, it happens to us all sooner or later.

    Stone Roses reunion

    I remember Mark E Smith saying something like: The Manchester scene is just tourists in flares looking for the Hacienda and asking where they can get some fookin' E. :D

    Stone Roses reunion

    I would hate to see the Smiths reform. I loved that band, but that was then... Dylan is another one who survives on reputation alone. The Mondays (and Black Grape) were always good live, Sean could do it, he just didn't know the words some times. Seems a lot of the Roses fans are in love...

    Stone Roses reunion

    I saw them in '89. Emperors new clothes is how I described it at the time and I still think I hit the nail on the head. The venue was half empty, but I have met people who told me they queued up outside but couldn't get in. Myths. The hype was huge, when people saw that they were actually...

    1994 Marin Eldridge Grade

    I took it to my LBS today to get the BB removed. I bought the tool there but my stand wasn't strong enough and my socket set wasn't long enough. Even with shop quality tools there was a lot of grunting and red faces. Came out in the end though. Dropped the frame and forks off for the powder...
