I had a strange noise coming from the top tube of bike for a while and I was convinced it was going to snap. Did a bit of research and it was the seatpost. Took it out, cleaned it, regreased i and no ore noise, the frae was amplifying the tiny noise and making it sound potentially disastrous.
And today I did......

I've just discovered the bike rack for the car is in Worcestershire, and will still be there next week. I really should get one instead of sharing with my ex wife. She doesn't even use it, just never tidies the boot of her car.
Looks like it will be wheels off and a tarp in the boot of the car. Which is lined in lovely light grey carpet.

I was going to get out for a ride yesterday, did'nt get the time :roll: , no worries i thought, i'll get out tomorrow, didnt get the time today either, going to suffer next Sunday i think :roll:
Managed to find half an hour to de-sticker and clean the Zaskar in preperation for it's new 94 spec decals which should land next week.
Decals are Blue so will add some blue bits and change the red pedals and chainring.
