I had a Tamiya Frog (I think it was called) wayyyyyy back in the mid 80's. Might still be in the loft at my parents house........*rubs chin*

Primavera, its a project planning tool that is very clever (unlike its user) but it assumes that the user is also clever. Clever to the point that there is no "undo" key and if you schedule a project and havnt backed it up and theres a mistake and something goes wrong and...and... its just awful...

Im not just a bit bored, Im shockingly bored! Ive got sooooo much work to do, that I just cant be arsed to do any. All I can think about is how lovely the weather is (cold, but sunny) and that Id rather be out riding or holed up in my garage fetteling bikes, than sat behind a desk on a bloody...

Ive always had bikes (Budgy, Striker, Grifter XL) but it wasnt until I got my first Raleigh Burner in about '83 maybe that I became "into" bikes. After leaving school and starting apprentaship I started in the main engineering workshops on the Steel Works and met a couple of guys who raced...

Thats a strange comment? Either your surprised at the difference, or your inferring that the difference is so small is it really worth bothering about? In which case, why not just pay the £65 that the man is asking for? :roll:

Slightly off topic I know, but never a truer word said. We get graduate engineers coming into the Refinery who think they are going to change the way we boil oil in 10 minutes without any consideration to the practicalities or an ounce of common sense. Personally, I believe an engineer who has...

Id have to disagree with that, the likes of Specialized, Canondale, Trek and even onto the bigger European manufacturers like Colnago, Pinarello etc all have R&D departments the likes of which Chas Roberts et-al could only dream of. Whilst I agree that frame builders do tend to have a mass of...

I'll give you £8 for both sets of grips? I know its tight, but my kids need new shoes......

So lets see pics of these mucky machines........ I'll start, although strictly speaking this is during a race rather than 3 days later. NPS marathon in 2007 at Sherwood Pines. Me and a teamy. He beat me, but my excuse was Id only got back from Oz a week earlier and was still jet lagged. There...

A friend of mine (you'll know him MJN, Andy Stokes?) had a DOGS bitd. I remember me and him took a trip down to the smoke on the train, got measured up in Chas's workshop in Croyden and then went for a trip round "The Big City" :shock: It was a scary place for a couple of 20yr old country...

You got a PM :)

Looks pretty darn sweet, although the seat-post isnt quite up to scratch. Im seriously smitten by SS bikes atm, quite fancy building one myself....

My second proper MTB was a black (1991 i think) Aluminium O which I rode for about a year before I had it resprayed by Dream Machine to the colours you see below. At the time Canondale did a colour scheme that was a really deep blue faded into black at the rear. I asked DM to do this, even game...

Similar to Shamus's accident, I was riding home from work one evening, it was daylight, the road was dry and vision was good, but some stoopid bint decided to turn right across in front of me. She checked to see if I was ok, which other than being dazed I was, but then drove off. Unfortunately...

Mine a pre e-stay jobbie....

Im up for this. As yet I dont own a SS but I could convert the alpinestar, or (more likely) get a new frame and build one. I'll be riding the NPS at Dalby this year and I believe there is a round of the World Cup there next year. How cool? :D Sign me up Kaiser

http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/magic-pen/ With us lot being a bit on the nerdy/engineering side, I thought Id post this link up. Ive been playing this for about an hour this morning and whilst Im finding it (obviously) harder and harder, its incredibly satisfying when you get it right...

Dissapointed I couldnt make it.....that would have been 3 Scunny Bunnies on the ride!! We ended up in a hotel in York for the weekend, which was OK but I seemed to have picked up a severe bout of man-flu and didnt eat anything from dinner Friday to dinner yesterday :( Next time Pickle (if...

I bought one for my Best Man earlier this year, then got myself one with some Wiggle vouchers ;) Never has opening wine been such a pleasure, although it means we have to drink lots more now ;) Personally, I want one of these: But will prolly end up with some of these :(

A visitor to a mental asylum is speaking to the Doctor in charge. "How do you decide who needs to stay and who can be allowed to leave?" says the visitor. " A simple test, we fill a bath with water and offer inmates a spoon, a cup or a bucket" replies the Doc. "Ahhh, and those who...
