I’d be more worried by the two “competing” JMC stands next to each other. 🙂

My ‘97 Kili Comp, now with added rubber and flexi steering. 32mm GP5000s (was 28mm Continental something or others) and BBBs poor man’s version of a Redshift stem - combined they take the sting out of small bumps and ridges on the roads of Warwickshire,

Nope. I’m happy with the current installation of my teeth and collarbones, and don’t heal quickly anymore,

Got a single rear 32 hole, built up with an admittedly graunchy bearings, but it is the dark/petrol blue colour. It was left abandoned at a Retrobike event at some point pre 2019. Been doing nothing in my garage ever since.

Was damp.

Bit warm this morn8ng, even with going out a bit early to try and beat the heat! Bit further than last time, just under 15km. But Sun’s out, which means Ku’s out. Coos were also out, but not highland flavour and sensibly sitting in the shade.

“Yes” - the answer to question “What colour is your bike?”

26 to 700 will def need an adaptor. I’ve a Mavic adaptor on the rear of my Saracen, so that it can run 700c wheels rather than 26, think they are 28x700c tyres, with not a huge amount of clearance. Linkything...

Not far, <4km, no bridges or other structures of note, but 1st ride outside since last year! 😁 And yes, this was the most technical section of the ride! 🤣

They ride lovely with P2s - have a few pictures somewhere of my (since gone) 19” on P2s.

Can’t, prior commitment on the Saturday in the opposite direction.

I guess my comment was a coded “could it sneak onto the Kona stand for the day” @al-onestare

Any still come, but would be the Sunday - would it be worth bringing a bike? None of mine really warrant “show and shine”, well the Ku might, but that rules itself out with 2012 brakes, and 202x 2x10 transmission among other finishing kit, and not prepared to faff around swapping for one day. 🙂

Wonder if they’re trying to push you to getting weekend tickets, only £108.30 for upto Thursday to Monday. But agree, £50 is a lot to stand around and talk rubbish about bikes for the day.

Very much an aesthetic issue!
