Re: What was the first bike you ever had, your childhood bik The bike I learnt to ride on belonged to the girl next as we didn't have one, it was a Raleigh Mayflower like the one below. I still remember the row I had when I left it behind my fathers Morris 1000 and he reversed over it, the...

Not sure how many marathons I've done now but lots, we did 3 last year and we're doing Tenby next month and Snowdon in October. The first couple of marathons I did I actually put on weight during training as I thought I could eat what I wanted because I was running so many miles :lol: so...

A bit off topic but it made me smile for days after the event :roll: when I was racing in Afan off road triathlon, in the bike park there was a crowd all oohing and arghing over somebodies superlight full suss bike. It was even pictured on the official website :? I don't know what the...

Thanks for the kind words everyone, a few days after I posted this I had to have my first dog Leon put to sleep so it was a pretty shitty week. Its looking a bit more positive for my father and he's starting treatment on Thursday, I think the fact their going to start fighting it has made us...

A bit weird as most of you will probably say 'Jones' who ? I don't think I've contributed much to this forum but I feel part of it enough to feel I have to say something :? I've just had some pretty shitty news, my father has probably got stomach cancer. I'm the sort of person who finds out...

I've got one of the late Randonneurs, I wanted a Dawes Galaxy but nobody could get one in my size at the time :? so I ended up ordering this instead. 8) I needed it for a lazy drunken tour of Ireland that was meant to last 5 weeks but I ended up staying there for 7 months :lol: Still one...

I didn't mean to end up with almost matching bikes honest :lol: I'll take some better pics and add some more info when I've got time as my cheapo camera really doesn't like the blue on the Roche :lol: The Roche is actually a Podium Carrera in all but name, the only difference seems to be the...

This is a lovely lovely frame and I know I'm going to regret it but it needs to go, even though I had it built up with cheapo bits it was an absolutely lovely bike to ride but its one too many :? Its 54cm square centre to centre :wink: Its a much nicer purply blue than it looks on my...

Are they the ones with the terrible clamping system with the two tiny long bolts that sit on a funny claw like post ? If it is pm me your address and I'll gladly send you a silver one in fairly good condition for the price of postage, 400mm x 27.2 the only problem is that I think one of the...

I've wanted one of these ever since the Bianchi rep brought one into M&P Cycles for the manager whilst I was hanging about there :lol: I bought a Mega Pro before Christmas as I thought one would never turn up :? then literally a few days later a 1998 Mega Pro XL in Boron steel turned up on...
