And today I did......

[kaiser]

no fat as yet

What Fat?? Did I miss something?

Usual Saturday off. Cut the grass, kids to dancing lesson, lunch, swimming lesson, riding lesson, mucked out horse etc. No time for bike fettling at all.

Then got the best PM ever an hour ago. Greenlight for a new project.

So excited but saying nothing else on the matter. You will have to wait and see it out on the trails in the new year.

Si

you tell me and I'll tell you.

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.

JUST BIULD A RIDEABLE BIKE ............

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

And then I can enjoy making it shabby.

sorry as someone who builds a bike in a day this is rather a long saga
especially with no pics

Sorry if it's annoying you.

It's the first bike I've built from scratch in a long time and I'm enjoying the process. If I had all the parts lying around boxed I'd knock one together in a day as well. And I'm sure it would be a lot cheaper.

I promise the next one will be quicker.

looks good to me and dont listen to mikee he likes gt's and paces :roll:

and cannondales and alplinestars

Glen Tilt caravan park? Summer holidays every year when I was a kid. Don't worry it'll be finished as soon as I get one more part from CRC. Then the saga will be over

Took the 'kerb-hopper' for a spin up to Homebase to get a new washing line this morning. Bloody hell, you can feel every single bump in the road, but it shifts on the slicks and once you're up to speed it seems to coast forever. 42-16 seems not bad around town, but wouldn't want to hit the open road on it.

Today,
I got up early to go for a Sunday morning bike ride. But actually spent all day working.
Now the light is already fading (at 16:30 in August!).
And more work just arrived in my inbox.
FML!
