They aren't as hard to work on as people think. Once you get your head around the fact that the hydraulic systems are circuits, just like electrical circuits and each component does one thing, it all starts to make sense. Yes, there is a lot going on under the bonnet, but each part is reasonably...

This is my dream specification Citroën DS. a third nose 23 efi with leather interior and factory air conditioning. Right now it is in my garage. Tomorrow, it will be taking me to and from work.

As British Cycling announce a partnership with Shell, I’m waiting for their announcement of Liz Truss as CEO, Kwasi Kwarteng as treasurer, Stella Braverman as membership secretary and The Andrew Formerly Known as Prince as safeguarding officer.

Brexit really is shit, isn't it? In the "before days", importing a car from another EU country was easy. When I brought in a Citroën DS20 from the Netherlands, I had to declare the import via an online form within 14 days, then apply for a V5 which arrived within about 3 weeks. Easy.

An old photo (photographed rather than scanned - shoot me) of my first Breezer, a '92 Storm when it was brand new. I'd just ridden it home from John's Bikes in Bath.

Kind of preemptive post here: I am a university lecturer. Have been for about 17 years after returning from a career in industry. I lecture in Manufacturing Engineering, and for most of the 17 years it has been a pretty "sweet" gig. Busy, but fun and manageable. The institution I work for has a...

I like that. A lot.

Not necessarily "period correct", but St John Street Cycles have a range of Ryde rims, and other manufacturers: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/rims-26-559/

Metric *AND* Imperial. There's posh ;)

More evidence that Mr Cheese is indeed a top chap.

Ah. Sadly I don't get change to come up to Toon very often.

Where do you need it getting to?

St John Street Cycles list two axles that may help you out (If Hamster can't help you): https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/wheel-axles-qr-nutted/?length=140

I have zero musical talent. But the big boss (wife) plays Viola well enough to be able to waltz (see what I did there?) into pretty much any amateur orchestra. She also plays saxophone (preferring her alto to the more common tenor) and piano to a reasonable standard. Little boss (9-year-old...

Mr Cheese, you *are* Sarah Crabtree (from old episodes of "Bangers and Cash" and known admirer of brown cars), and I claim my 5 quid.

It's out of stock now, but the "re-issue" I got came with both disc and cantilever/V- brake mounts and a tapered head tube. The one on the website now (the one you presumably got) is disc brake only. I initially built mine up using "spares box" parts as much as possible. I had to buy a new...

The last time I saw one of these, it was on Amasa Back in Moab, being ridden by Joe (on the evening of the day that I saw Tom Ritchey break the beam on his version of one "playing" on Slickrock).

Please leave your feedback about me (good, bad - but please let me address any issues first - or indifferent). Thanks,

Richard sent the Flite saddles I bought from him the same day that I paid. They were superbly packed - rest assured that anything you buy from this chap will arrive undamaged in transit. They were exactly as the photos showed them to be and as better than he described them. If he has anything I...

£70 for the two black ones posted?
