I see the goldie-lookin' bike has a bit of competition Any chance of a sparkly purple saddle though? And I've just realised I'm beginning to appreciate blue ano - is this a bad sign?

Spent most of the day in the man cave stripping the paint off the Rockhopper - wit a shitey joab, bead blast the next effin time.

Welcome mikee, looks like we've almost got an East Coast massive going on.

Glentress the morn's morn, anyone?

anyone got one of them there roller doodaas, that attach to the bottom of seattube and guide the front mech wire down and up so you can use a bottom pull Front Der.? Does that make sense? It would save me swapping or buying a new xt one.

If you need to buy one you can get them from ceeway or cyclocrossworld. Both worth a look anyway

Would love an early GT as unfortunately I've got to go drool over nice bikes at Ed Bike then drink beer at lunchtime

Ideally hit GT by 9am if you can cope with that ZZ, I'm happy to meet you there so you can sleep a wee bit later

Too early for me velo, I need my beauty sleep.

Is it safe to assume you're not shopping for a new bike?

No matter ZZ, probably wont show myself if its only me. Friend I seldom see has appeared back in Edinburgh so have to go boozing, oh the hardship. He was my mtb buddy from BITD, he still has his mid 90's Dale which is still a fab bike, M400 with Manitou forks.
