Come on then velo, let's see some pics of the bro-on one.
Good wee run up the Jennifer Braes today, weather was changeable, but not cold. Fair bit of blethering, especially at the start, a picnic blanket and all the trimmings would have been ideal... Made a change from the usual mechanicals though (none to speak of, apart from cantis being shite), just the one puncture too. A few nice wee bits of trail, although a bit sketchy in the wet, get the impression there's a lot of riding up there, just need to go in search. Back to Jimi's for a donut and cake, and an ogle at the DH8. MONSTA!
Velo, even if you had caught the train, apparently Glasgow-Paisley was bus only, so that would have been fun.

Pleased you'se enjoyed it
, welcome back anytime, was a good run, have a jaw like desperate Dan with all the gabbing though 
Today I was twiddling my thumbs a bit when one of the guys says " you could do the orange " hmm ok then , I had a look where he pointed to find an orange orange frame , picked it up and it had a retrobike sticker on it
So someone ( ok I know a name but not a screen name ) is localish and also on here , with a freshly tapped and chased orange orange .
With a bit of luck the owner will post a finished pic and wont be one of the many who are here but don't post .
There is also a santacruz with a £800 service quote :shock:
I've also found I can buy a bb tap for £80 , not park but when a park tap costs that much without the pilot it could be a goer for home use .

tonight I fixed the creak emanating from my cranks and trued the wheels, two of the more satisfying fettles.
Bit of a bad discovery today, went to try to fix a squeaky brake on the xizang only to find the cause was a loose brake boss, loose because it had stripped the thread in my mag 21 leg ...helicoil work needed.
I've put on the rigid forks for now but I had to fashion a make shift cantis hanger which is a little too flexy for comfort, it will hopefully hold for the up 75 miles next weekend.
