    Mercian cycles call it a day .

    A friend and I rolled up on a 60 s curly Hetchins and my Curly BJ at busy bike shop cafe. Nobody noticed. They just ride plastic, their hands clean sipping latte whilst someone fits their tyres. An analogy would be people fettling their cars on a Sunday. Not no more. Just niche places like...

    Park tool tools

    As a fitter using all day every day agreed. I fix my own cars, everything, but as its only 2 cars when they go wrong, I don't break tools so Draper or Similar will do.

    Park tool tools

    Not tools but: Citroen Hydraulic fluid. LHM+ Works at phenominal pressures and perfect for non SRAM hydraulic brakes. £8 a litre or so. The above will make some cringe, same as non blue tools do. Same in car world, Snap On this, Snap On that. Best tools are old tools from s/h stalls etc...

    Eroica 2023

    Eloquently put and my thoughts exactly. It is quite sad that actual enthusiasm for the history is so poor especially south of country. My friend parked a 60s curly hetchins at our bike shop/cafe last year. Nobody even noticed.

    Shimano replaces three low end groupsets with one new one..

    Cue (sorry) some cheap groupsets on the market soon. Claris, Sora and Tiagra at sub current very low 105 prices. So maybe the leaked 105 12 mechanical won't happen, with a CUE 11 speed?
