@markjohnson76 did you message me years ago about Kili Flier Comp stickers? The one above looks in outstanding condition. A bit different to my battered and much used example!

I am so annoyed. One of the very few days I have anything to do with work at the weekend. I must travel on Sunday to make sure I am in Edinburgh for Monday morning. I only live in Codsall. I could go up the 449 to the M6. Have a free bump anyway.

I am raising a glass and a tear to our wonderful cat Vinnie. Taken from us way too soon today. FIV, and zero white blood cells proved too much for the big man. RIP Vinnie, you will be remembered forever. One last Teams meeting interrupted on Tuesday. Well lived old friend.

I have owned one of these from new.

Go on, we wouldn’t mind a few pics! You owned it from new? 1991 is the oldest owned from new I can boast.

Another vote for early 90s Saracens. I have had a 1990 Kili Flier Comp from new. You would have thought the Competition frame would be rubbish for anything other than racing. I fitted a shorter stem, 130 instead of 150, which made it comfortable to ride for longer. It had rack mounts from...

Is that a Turbomatic saddle?

…When you can’t find your cable cutters. Nice Park cutters that you’ve had for a very long time. You took them to to a Repair Café and haven’t seen them since. You’re sure they must be in the house somewhere but. You just can’t find them.

Trying to chill on a very warm night.

In the words of my daughter when her twin bounced a tennis ball off her forehead, “Why would you even do that?”

Nice. Think I have a Panasonic jersey from that sort of era.

I could buy it for the wife. Over six feet but silly short arms. That’s a big looking gear she’s pushing.

Vinnie’s protest when he saw a photograph being taken without him being in it. I was checking with a friend that I had got a good drop!

Hi All. As usual I have left this too late for this year’s holiday to Scotland, but I am thinking of future events! Does anyone have a pickup and a bike rack to take at least two bikes? My Isuzu has a Mountain Roll (flat) cover to the cargo area. I want something that fits on top of that...

Awesome. Thanks guys.

Not my dream vehicle but, can anyone identify this: My daughter wants/needs to know! TIA.

Thanks. Looked on the Tube. Lots of intricate filing seems to be how it’s done. I will have a go in the coming weeks. Tried a bit more forging this morning. Wowsers, that leaf spring is hard! I was almost pleased when I ran out of gas! I will measure the lengths of the two pieces and see...

Quick snap. Will take a better picture later. My first go at forging metal. Blade is a piece of broken off suspension spring found on the road. Thin brass bolster is a piece of old door kick plate. Wood is purple heart that was trimmed off a chopping board. It was destined for the wood...
