Re:
Tweaked Brooks saddle on road bike after another numb nads ride yesterday (near blown into sea riding home after dropping truck in for MOT).
Then spent a merry couple of hours fettling two ebay pressure lamps for the power cuts (two so far this year). Always liked these things - remind me of days off school in the ’70s power cuts. This evening while trying to figure out required fixes I discovered that there is a web site for retro-lamp fanciers. Good lord, who’d have thought? A load of mad Luddites in sheds messing with obsolete technology. Must ensure this does not go too far.....

Re: Re:
The shops, round to Mums, occasional Sis for dinner and the west end, where it will sit,locked against the railings while i sip my coffee and nibble on a croissant.
I have all the time in the world to cycle rob but missing the motivation.
Before the fall it was all day every day and my health benefited from it. Im hoping a new bike and not something heavy,cobbled together from 1/2 working bits will help.
Besides justifying a grand and a half on something you need to use it. And id rather not procrastinate on that too
I see you guys with new bikes all the time and realized this building and collecting malarky is just sucking up all the time and funds.
Im actually tempted to stick the entire collection in large lots on to ebay at 99p no reserve and put whatever i get towards the Cannondale F29 Black Inc.
And then leave the building/collecting bit alone.
