Having celebrated the arrival of summer on my last ride report, I set out today in 8C, windy weather. The winter clothing, toe warmers, gloves etc. that had been ceremoniously folded and packed away were all pulled out and pulled on. Very uncharacteristic weather for October here -- last night's...

Maybe the competitors sign some sort of waiver which absolves Red Bull of any liability?

Here's a Ti D-jab in the US for those with deep pockets . . . 18"...

Yeah, that's how all mine go together too

Quick one-hour lunchtime 20k on my usual route on gravel roads and tracks outside town. Summer is now in full swing which means cycling along with 3 or 4 flies orbiting your head and the ever-present danger of inhaling one. Other than that, all pretty uneventful, although signs of the council...

Finally made it back out on the bike after nearly three week's hiatus due to consecutive annoying health issues. Attending a wedding for overprivileged nepo-kids in Bali, the Missus and I both contracted the dreaded 'Bali belly', on the back of which we then came down with flu, probably due to...

A sighting of the rare-as-hens-teeth Thomson 'set-forward' seatpost in the wild:

That is a very tiny pic

This is a riveting read -- I like the idea of pampering an undistinguished frame out of sentiment and nostalgia. Let us know how it rides!

A few years ago I saw an MTB version being used as a delivery bike by an office courier in Singapore. The design must be pretty robust.

Prices do look very reasonable!

Here's another 2000 'non-catalogue' Kilauea like the one Pip mentions upthread -- for sale in Canada for a tasty CAD 40. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/23925871257077414/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp:0fd9e086-d44c-493c-b429-7fed861237cc

This. Yes, most were doping at the time, but Armstrong distinguished himself by his bully-boy tactics both in the peleton and more broadly. It was part of his comprehensive doping and drug-test-manipulation programme to intimidate teammates and functionaries. Interesting parallels with how...

What's he so upset about?

Oh wow . . . I've seen a couple of these come up for sale here in Aus but never looked further than the name, just assuming they would be aluminium. I'd love to find a good Aussie-only model.

Last ride before going off on holiday. Dropped the dog off at the kennels and couldn't help but notice that the sun was shining very nicely although it was (as usual) quite windy outside town. Still, it seemed the right juncture to take the Jake off the turbo trainer where it has served so well...

Took a second test ride today, with the broken seatpost replaced and the front wheel's cones lubed and tightened. Was pleased with how the bike rode -- responsive and quite light. Bar some ongoing tinkering (including a nicer bottle cage), I think this one's done.

Well, the missus is dragging me off on a holiday on Monday so am packing in as many rides as I can before we go, especially as the weather has decided to be nice for a change -- today was 17C, clear and sunny with not much wind. Where we are going will be hotter (c30C) and very humid, so even if...
