I like the cut of your jib, sir!

Bloody lovely. Thank goodness its much too small for me.

Introducing Hagrid, my Brahma cockerel. He is utterly cool. Goes where he wants. Fears nothing/nonone (I do have "several" other fowl of assorted type). Likes to join me in the kitchen at 10h00 to share my coffee and pain/raisin. He also comes with 4 Brahma hens, known collectively as "The...

I'm somewhat enamoured of my Merckx Corsa 01 and its paintjob. Love how the down tube transitions from circular c/s to ovoid and lurve the chromed forks and chainstays. Yup - its a fair wx bike only

do you live on a steep hill?

Well, ideally a shiny one with yellow lateral nubs - to match the existing one. I think I might have a solution!

It's non-magnetic, which pretty much answers that question!

what diameter is the tubing?

It "feels" more like steel than alu. Doesnt behave like a piece of alu, if you know what I mean!

Thx for the info, Jim. I'm definitely not winning on this one so will have to determine a different course of action!

My lovely Corsa 01 has only 1 Ciussi cage. I seek a 2nd. Freely available in shops, but.... for some reason the s/steel model only comes with red lateral buttons. I want yellow ones (to match existing and frame). I know it's a 1st world problem, but does anyone have a cage that they are willing...

worse - submariner! Only for 1st half of career, then went off to do stuff with RM/Land etc. Always enjoyed phys and endurance.

Ascended the col Port de Balés in the Pyrenees and then scooted along the river plains in the Comminges area before going home (to the pool). Lovely day out with suitably leaden legs by the end of it.

I'd love UCI to take an interest in my bikes and me, but....

Bad news for you. Skynet has been in service since 1969!

Cyanoacrylate supper glue. It makes my list because of its effectiveness in gluing my skin back together after "oops", thus obviating the need for A&E and stitches/sutures... It also sticks random household objects to one another, apparently.

As per title, I am on the scrounge for an Isla Huarth 24 for my 9 yo daughter. I'm breaking her in gently. Currently she does no more than 40k daily, but she (aka We or her Mum or I) have aspirations to get her up into the Pyrenees with us. I/we believe that she can do this on a Huarth 24, or...

you have some good bike shops in Salisbury - maybe worth a visit?

I do love to see a Bianchi in a colour other than Celeste Blue. I also think that 10% ascent/descent of the length of the ride is a good ratio for a decent Zone 2 training. I'm fortunate that in the Pyrenees, it's not difficult to achieve that ratio (even on the so-called flats). My Bianchi...

"Around the block" once again, but this time on the lovely EddyM Corsa 01 which I bought off this site a few months ago. Not really geared for hills/ascents and definitely a product of its age, but superb to see the chrome in the sunshine.
