Love the c16 looks nice in it's taxi dress and those rc35's look sexy shame the travel leaves a lot to be desired

No longer need panaracer tyres

Like Mr Pandas new Arran bike

Impressed with all you bike restorers, not my style though, I just ride them :roll:

Also killie are doing panaracer dc fires in 1.8 size for a tenner each, any use for you cyclocross-dressers?

Oooh, those might be just the ticket for Kielder. I'll check local Halfrauds tomorrow, see if they have them for same price. If not, might get you to grab me a couple?

Liking the Arran beater Mr P, leave the rusty bits on it though, gives you the brown you need for full camo. May have to try an Orange at some point and see what all the fuss is about.

no problem on the tyre front and will give you a go on the clockwork at k but fear it may be a bit to small for you.

You gotta love a bike called Omerta It says 'I keeel you'


Gaz wicked doin just fine trying to get out on the road today and finish the Ku. Thinkin this may be the ideal trainer for me too as theres no real trails to speak of around here.

I may drag myself out somewhere over the weekend but it won't be far.

Mind and show us the ku when you get her finished, you are being very industrious these days mate- not like you!

Sunday is my day out so rain, feck off and go to the east coast :twisted:

Went out on the ss yesterday and my knees felt it, I have been gaylording it on a geared bike of late amazing how your body gets soft so quick.

Does seem that way but Ive been fannying about with them all year. I'm actually quite looking forward to it now it looks a load better already.

And yes rain go east :twisted:

Do you no find when you go geared you don't change?

Might be joining your shonky old road bike club. Customer brought his modern Giant in for a new BB this morning and offered me his old road bike. Its a lugged Reynolds custom frame from local builder Denton cycles (some connection with Joe Waugh and Dave Yates there I think) that he bought about 25 years ago. I havn't seen it yet but he's the same size as me so should fit and it has full Shimano kit on it. Its hardly been riden by the sound of things so might be a goer.

One question- are roadies still allowed to wear baggies or must I now have my nuts on display?? :? Is the Rapha(?) look any better?
