Seeing as I have gainful employment of some description at present, I have little time to go to the pub. So, I attended the "Edible Garden Show", where I saw lots of pigs, some chickens and goats. I also heard a talk by a man from the telly, who MrsA seemed quite keen on. And a talk by a man who...

Old Man Afterthought wants a new bike to ride to work and back on. He's got £500 burning a hole in his pocket and has asked me what to get. He mentioned hybrids/city bikes, but they seem to be a bit of a rip off to me, one might as well get an MTB and stick skinny tyres on it. Only stipulation...

I thought I'd drop my science upon those assembled when it comes to playing games indoors with your family or friends. These are my four favorites at the moment, and they get whipped out for fun, frolics and (SNIP! - Legal Ed) when my pals are in attendance. So, let's stop, collaborate, and...

73mm bottom bracket with a 113mm spindle which Shimano STX SE cranks will fit on to. Seat post clamp to fit GT RTS3 Top pull front mech Thanks. Malicious Afterthought.

Gentlemen, Please, forgive my first post being a request for help and information. I've recently (within the past hour) taken delivery of a GT RTS frame (I am most pleased). It doesn't have the rear brake rocker. Is it possible to use V-Brakes on the rear, or should I just buy some Magura...
