Re: Re:

Especially as the dining room table can hold 16 tonnes.

Roughly how many servings of chicken jalfrezi is that?

35555.5555556

Based on a Tesco Chicken Jalfrezi and Rice at 450g and them being metric tonnes.

Brain dump :shock: :

• -Built by Andy Thompson (formerly of Thompson Bicycles of Huddersfield and Orbit) for Whiteburner Products (who were a bike parts distribution company IIRC).
  -Very late 80s until around '94 (?)
  -Confusingly, nothing to do with US framebuilder and cycling author Lennard Zinn.
  -Married to national pursuit champ Maggie Thompson in the 80s, then later Isla Rowntree (cyclo-cross champ, Halfords and Islabikes).
  -Reynolds tubing, often 753, built lugless with smooth, but un-filed small fillets.
  -Often feature the Sturmey-Archer cable roller at the seat cluster to a top pull front mech
  -Saw my first one in a little bike shop in Keighthly back in around '91 while I was buying some Pace RC35s.
  -He's not built frames in a couple of decades, but is still a member on here and a few other cycling fora: Featch.
  -Featured in Mint Sauce strips....
  -Now makes some extremely chunky steel furniture with his son in Cradeley Heath.

All the best,

Almost correct except I was never Married to Isla and we split up in 1997. After a very lengthy hiatus I'm back on the bike and riding regularly with Stourbug and my wife Malanda.
