    Ratty scooter

    No, definitely don't skip it. After a heavy boot or two, I'm sure it'd fold up into a wheelie bin, no problem.

    Ebay rant

    ^ Oh sure, the old 99p bag swap scam. Give the buyer a full refund including postage, say you don't want it back, and forget about it. Life's too short.

    AVOID

    Re: 1. All three listings clearly show the same flaw in the 'H' of Hope. 2. I don't understand the purpose of the second listing ('Hope hub, don't bid') at all. Whatever, he seems to have come to his senses/realised his mistake by the time of the third listing, where he sells it for a couple...

    Great Alan Partridge quotes

    Re: Jill, what do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich town centre? I’ll be honest I’m dead against it. People forget that... traders need access to DIXONS.

    Have you had a good look in your barn?

    Sweet ride. Here's another: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/moulton-speed ... 7675.l2557 Looks pretty good in the first picture, but wait until you see the last, a close up of the stunning (ahem) "original paint".

    TI 753 Frame

    Well, 753 was introduced in 1976, so yeah, I guess the headtube should really be black.

    Hesjedal's dodgy bike

    Re: 1. The bike simply slides down the hill, or... 2. It's an Illuminati conspiracy, and Hesj is a shape-shifting alien lizard or something. More here: http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=22884

    Restoration or Art?

    The bikes in the first link are a bit much for me, but the (pope's) Mexico Oro wasn't too shabby: http://veloclassics.blogspot.co.uk/2012 ... grail.html

    Record Sprint and 105 Groupset

    Re: Dude, spending £500 or so on modern parts and a restore of a Record Sprint with an iffy frame is just plain nuts. (Sorry.)

    Name that Raleigh

    Re: Looks like the 1992 Scorpio, as seen on page 7 (and spec on page 18) here: http://veterancycleclublibrary.org.uk/n ... ary%29.pdf (The same site has a whole load of later Raleigh brochures I'd not seen online before: http://veterancycleclublibrary.org.uk/l ... 5&items=32 )

    Tour de France Theme Tune

    Re: Re: Yup, awesome track. Pascal Bussy's book on Düsseldorf's finest devotes a chapter to it, and describes the band's growing cycling obsession in much detail. From around the time of the recording, Ralf's first words after two days in a coma following a potentially life-threatening...

    Team Banana - what's the significance of the yellow fruit?

    That's a backronym, though it's better than the official and original name, Bigelow Mounting Company, and nowt to do with the Dominica Banana Marketing Corporation, of course: http://www.bmctempo.com/whats-in-a-name ... -its-name/

    Tour de France in Yorkshire... who's going?

    Re: Re: Yeah, maybe. I'd forgotten that OGE hadn't announced their Tour team, though I'd be surprised if Simon and/or Adam make it, especially Adam. I saw a quote from OGE this week saying to expect a surprise or two in their line up, and assumed they meant Esteban Chaves - probably my...

    Tour de France in Yorkshire... who's going?

    I'm going to Bradfield, about 25 km from the end of stage 2, the Yorkshire L-B-L, as there's a 9% or so climb out of the village, and I've a feeling at least one of the stage favourites might go for a long one from there. As for Wiggins, he wasn't ever getting selected - he hasn't even been in...
