And today I did......

[epicyclo]

Today was a continuation of yesterday. All the shelves that were dismantled and stuff that was discombooberated were dechaosed.

In the meantime I took the opportunity to make a better job of concealing my N+1 BMW project.

Velo, the concept of untidiness is actually purely a semantic issue.

Once you learn the correct terminology, there is no longer a tidiness problem, it turns out everything is neatly stored on the floor shelf.

I hope you find this term useful.

Re:

Nah, I keep everything on the floor. A floor shelf is still a shelf and stuff can fall off it onto the floor. The ultimate floor is the earth itself thats the ultimate catch all

Re:

I also prefer to keep my crap in plain sight as once it's "tidied away" into boxes I don't know where it is, and on the floor is handy. It's no use labeling the boxes with their contents, my wife does not see the logic in returning items/tools/things to where she got them. For instance, DVDs, CDs, audio cassettes end up in the wrong cases all the time. What she does is take DVD/CD/cassette out of player, puts the new one in player and then.....aaaarrrgh...... puts the one she has just taken out of player into the now empty case of new one she wants to play. Utterly nonsensical, beyond my comprehension that she thinks there's no problem with that. :facepalm:

Re:

Oooh hark at you lot....you need to move in with me.

My OCD means everything spares wise is in labelled boxes/ice cream tubs, tools are hung up (big stuff) or in the right tool box (smaller stuff) Tools like headset press, knocking-things-out tool, drifts, and a bloody big wooden mallet live in their own dedicated box...marked as such....

God, I'm good. And single.

Re:

Kaz, being OCD would be preferable to not giving a feck, unless the OCD is a problem and that's why you're single.

Wait a mo, just need to go out and feck with the brakes on my wife's car.






Right, OK.
You're single you say?

And it's your birthday too, congrats.

Re:

I saw a guy on an LTS near the Science centre a few weeks ago. Unusual bike to be seen on the streets but I've no idea who he was.

Blue decals :?

I think ive also seen it on the rack at central station.

Poor chap, he discover RB, and join only to find we already know all about him

I could never afford one of these at the time. The shop I hung about in had the rep bring in one( A Pace too). WOWSERS material back then.

Oh curse these abnormally long legs of mine.

I thought I would join the growing trend on Macretro and give the shed a clear out yesterday. Its a trip to the recycling centre today before I get out on a ride
Its amazing what you find as such I will have some stuff going to ebay/facebook/etc for sale but I will post it here on macretro first and if anyone wants any of it I'll send it on.
Mix of road/off road I think from memory, some good, some average. I have a couple of road tubes for free to a good home, they were only used for a few miles over a weekend but they are the long valve presta. They were used as they were all I had when I put some wheels together so did a weekend.
Will post a list in the for sale section.
Ohh and there is a little more room in the already small shed
