you'll also need a US->UK adapter I think (I did anyway), but that's only £3 off ebay.

I got mine from potts for less less than a pound, its just a shaver adaptor.

not sure Iam out tonight I feel like poo, I shall text you later Ed if I shall be there...
 
What do you think about this as a 40th birthday option for me?

Cheaper than taking a mistress.

Tuesday was extremely select...me, Ed and John. Good dry, mud-free ride round the usual Ticknall haunts, topped off by joining the Ticknal Knitting Group in The Chequers...... surrrreal :cool: :cool: :cool:

My whoopeee news is that the Kona threads are fine and the new bottom bracket has gone in like a dream. Think I'm still taking the Dyna-Tech on Saturday.

When are you off to France...and more's to the point when are you back?

diamond frame though...not the £1000 space frame!

hmmm. I'm sort of getting it but it's made in Taiwan (not that that's a bad thing), but for that sort of money (will be around £800 or maybe more to your door after taxes etc) you could have someone make one for you to your exact spec. Also would a 23" effective top tube not be too long for you? Having said that 4130 is what my Surly is made from and I like that :D

Not out tomorrow I'm afraid. Work and stuff. In France next week so the Tunnocks will have to wait. Have a good one chaps.
