    Curious workshop ….

    There were no designers though. It was an extensible public computer network built on a matured academic network that was itself built on a military experiment. Do you meanTim Berners-Lee? I dont think he had a vision beyond making access easier for non brainiacs initially. I was exposed to the...

    Curious workshop ….

    I hate all the b0ll0ck5 around AI. I mean yes, there is a profound leap in computing power taking place - which potentailly has loads of benefits. What is it being used for though? Generating trailers for 1950s versions of Star Wars, producing stupid pics like the one above, making it harder for...

    Help me choose the right brakes for my Dawes Galaxy.

    Back of the pad/holder hitting the fork isn't the end of the world as long as there is clearance enough to the rim.

    Fixed cup removal (with pics)

    I've had success using this method before on a French threaded fixed cup- must have got lucky as I only used an M12 bolt and a stack of washers and some scrap 3mm steel on the outside face of the cup. I did also heat the outside of the cup then lay it flat before applying wax (birthday cake...

    Humanity's 10 greatest inventions: the other 9?

    Controversial! Worst invention of all time for me. Even if you think the deterrent qualities are to be lauded said deterrent is built on threats of Megadeath. How can you celebrate something that would end civilisation in 30 minutes?

    Allin Whitehorse 64cm Ashford (Kent)

    Seller offered for £50 so I bagged this. So far I've not found a frame no. where I'm told Allin's should have them (L: Chainstay). Allin afficianodos will say this is post the Stan Butler / Peter Cobb era so not a proper Allin. Its most likely to have been built by Cliff Shrub given the 531ST...

    Too few threads on my fork - solutions?
