Industry standard box of jaffa cakes , or some drink . We have a couple of regulars that will pop something in for no reason at all :D

It's probably not the wisest move to work in a shop that sells a lot of expensive full suspender bikes , turn up to the evening group rides wearing grotty jeans and a tshirt and spend all the time at the front , being faster than everyone . I need to enjoy it while I can though . Winter will...

Shifting gears with the power of thought ; think I'll keep that line , because when riding one of my single ratio bikes , any time I need to shift to a lower gear to go up a hill I think "I'll just pedal harder" and also when I need a gear to go faster , I think about pedaling quicker :lol...

My oddball 1992 rasta explosif

Pretty sure it's £15 or free if bought , same as lgf . But there are soo many factors to consider ; are they a nice guy , or clearly a dick ? is the bike in good or shite condition ? how pretty is the guys mrs :lol:

Howies had a reflective strip on the inside of the cuff on their jeans , until levis had a strop because howies had the label in the same place as levis . I pay £10 for jeans , that makes them cycling friendly :lol:

Thought of a few others I use a stubby screwdriver with flipable flat and cross ends . The flat end is used on nipple ends to count turns when I literally screw together a wheel . there is a proper cranked screwdriver in the workshop but I prefer to spin the flat bit in my fingers ; the...

A lass came up to my desk today while I was making up a new service list and said she was sent over from the sailing club and told to ask for a long weight and a stand . I paused and told her what I tell all work experience kids ; Your being had on , and with no thought , originality or...

I like the idea , but there is a lot of drag and there is a constant ratcheting , so it always ticks away and there is extra wear . Add the weight , massive Q factor and having to modify the frame to fit one I'll say no thanks . Another thing that at first I think wow that's just what I need...

Don't worry about it Dave , I had everyones back covered this week 8) Wednesday evening me and a mate who is staying over for a few days because of transport issues were sat at the pub on our way back from work . A few of our regular customers who are local racers rocked up . A couple...

It's one hell of an excuse not to have children ; my unborn 2.4 owes my grandad a pension :? :lol: Like one of those one hand clapping , tree falling in the forest head clearing paradoxes . Scrap the nhs and you save even more , if you know what I'm saying :lol: :( :(

Thanks John , makes a lot of sense . Shame we owe money to ourselves though :( Not owning a telly and the radio at work only playing music has meant I'm pretty much oblivious to things like this , I was unaware that I owe myself so much money . I'm usually a lot more careful about lending...

Has solitaire got that complicated :shock: Not myself in the photo , I was taking it funnily enough . Needed a shot of my bar angle and after , noticed the kind of stuff we get through our workshop :lol: Never did find out who had the washing machine on :wink:

That's the one I had all those years ago , it's still plentiful and last time I looked was cheap . Unless you guys have bumped up the prices :lol:

That's what a billion dollars looks like . I would post the photo but it would take the rest of the day http://www.iheartmyart.com/post/9133144 ... 12-pallets Who do we owe the money to ? can't we just send the boys raannd ?

Digital caliper will only add £10 to the correct seatposts price .

The journos could make my life a whole lot easier :( It surprises me how few people will ask the people that work on bikes what they think is good , or more importantly , what isn't .

I sold my formaldehyde poster a couple of years ago to kestonian For a fiver as I knew he wanted one and I found my mint one in a pile of mags .

Old mags have a value this year :? You couldn't give them away in 2010 :lol: I've thought about giving an old mag away with each new bike sold .

:lol: I was told that a group a couple of years ago were made to sing a song . There's a few out on hire that are litter picking and the one upstairs is pumping up tyres . so it could be worse , plus being in the workshop makes him top of the pecking order 8) The only way it could...
