And you! Thanks for such a speedy delivery.

Well, i don't believe in Father Christmas (sorry), but i do believe in @Titch66 He just delivered my early Christmas present. Thank you!

Every year, as the leaves start to fall, my old Orbea Arama Travel gets a full strip down and prep for winter. I've toured Europe, on and off road on this bike over the last couple of decades, done chaingangs, trained on it and commuted to work. I've re-rivnutted all the bosses on the frame at...

I agree with your views on this. I bet there is pressure on riders from every direction to compete in these events. I respected Manon Carpenter when she retired. It takes real bottle to say no.

Yes, gladly. It may cost a little more. Message me your address and I will get a price on Monday. Thanks Rich

Another bump for the minty MRP.

Bump. Anyone? Before I put them back on the bike and proceed to kick them to death.

Boom!

I saw this the other day. It made me laugh, because I have a similar approach to bike set up. It's not about posing. It is just what I find comfortable. This is my tourer. Not the most extreme example amongst my bikes, but still a slammed, fairly long, negative stem. My mother's maiden name...

Decided to take this week off the bike as I've been feeling fatigued. But I've got no will power so I went for a spin on my way to work. My loop has lots of tree-lined and sunken lanes. I didn't feel great but i'm glad i got out this morning.

Yes, i have used post 2001 9 and 10 speed campag interchangeably.

Beautiful!

Tonight's ride. I never thought I'd say it, but the tarmac seems safer. A brisk 30 mile spin up into the Weald. It's getting dark so early, but great to get out.

The flints are a nightmare. There's the puncture risk followed by the loss of control/crash, rim damage etc etc. I moved to Sussex after living for 8 years in the rockiest part of rocky rugged North Wales. I never broke a thing there. Within a month of moving to Sussex I'd trashed a dozen tyres.

I think i clipped the sharp pointy end of a big flint. It's astonishing how much stuff I've destroyed on the flints round here. Also got stung twice on the throat by a wasp on the same ride. Still, i did collect a haul of Strava cups so it's all worth it. 🤡
