that looks proper cool, love it and love the absence of pink chain- how does she roll ma man?

dunno yet only been round the garden slabs. Probably brave the tarmac tonight.

Got the dust caps of a bloke on the forum, and a very good deal they were too! A bit large, they were for schraders, but I managed to screw in some old presta caps inside and them trimmed the bottom off. Now fits prestas!

Plenty of room in the mancave for those weirdy narrow bar jobbies Gazz. Anyway, they can keep this company:

needs to be on top of the page

Feels alright. Wasn't anticipating any problems, I thought canti's and u brakes required the same amount of pull.

Today I destroyed my old personal best at the pizza hut buffet. 25 slices in one sitting! Previous best was 17. Mostly deep pan as well none of this italian base nonsense. Wasn't even pushing myself as I could have forced another 3-4 slices in there if I was being really greedy :twisted:

Spent the day arguing with myself about sticking with 7 speed or going to 9 and being all modern and trendy. This involved a huge amount of looking at online shops. Got the 9 speed cassette ready to go, put it on the wheel, looked at it for a while.

It all seems a bit too tricksy and narrow for easy set up and maintenance and would mean buying a raft of new bits when I have everything to stick at 7 apart from a £3 spacer so it works on the wheel I want to use. And I might have a spacer the right size anyway.

Secret Seven all the way then.

I've already got one of those. This one needs to be shiny and nice.

And then I can enjoy making it shabby.
