The time is fast approaching, where neighbours will ask if I can check over a new bike, before it's hidden away for Xmas. Oh lordy, some of those cheap disc brakes are frightening.

Old drop bars get bolted to the wall for tyre storage. When they are full, the tyres nearest the wall need to go in front of the tyre judge,to plead for their lives. ;)

I think they should drop the price a tad ,there's wee bit of crank rub. Having said that,it does have Ardents fitted with the valves lined up,and the seller has 100% feedback. Tempting ;) 🙃

After reading the French retro event thread, my mind naturally turned to Cyclo Cross in Europe :) Every year I say to myself that I must get across to watch one of the world cup races in Belgium or Holland, then never get anything sorted:rolleyes:🙃 A bit of searching showed that the world...

or.. D. Hammer a tight fitting tube/seatpost down, watch as it gets jammed solid while the dents don't change, then burst in to tears and blame the small child. ;) 👍 🤣 🤣

Do you have any nice stickers? 👍 ;)

A long,long time ago(well ,not that long really 🙃), I stacked it on a bike that I had a set of Pace RC 35s fitted to. Stem must have been a bit slack, as the bars had twisted around. Having done this in front of my amigos (who were all riding gods), I was feeling a bit silly and rushed the fix...

Am I allowed to say, I really like that rack on the Trek Checkout 🙃 👍 Cause being an old, smelly, sleeping in ditches bikepacker,I keep telling the Yoof ..." Dump those big seatpacks, racks are back"🤣🤣

I am holding on to my Allsop Softride stem (150mm) ,it's going to be worth a fortune. Oh hang on,I just remembered it's a quill fitting ;) 🤣

In all its glory Facebook marketplace . May be of interest to someone :)

Workshop/Workspace... Show us yours! Sorry, no chance. It would be like exposing myself* on the interweb, and we all know how that can end. ;) 🤣 🤣 My partner calls the shed/workshop my safe zone👍🙃 I am more likely to use the words 'comfort blanket' :) * my soul,not the parts that scare...

I think the grips are a nice distraction, well done ;) 🙃 👍

Aye markoc,just thinking the same ,even if it is (relatively) short lived :)

Excellent work d8mok 👍:)

Is it still a thing? I have far too many hanging up in the shed, so it got me thinking about ways to tart them up and bring back into service. Sadly it doesn't help, that it's often cheaper to buy a whole new chainset for the chainrings alone.:( I know they will fade back to dull in time,but hey.
