Re:

....places like this....



Glen Etive.

My cousin used to have a collie called Glen. Never knew its surname though.

EDIT - BTW a neighbour gave me the rally FOC otherwise he'd a chucked it ina skip

Re:

Can't think I'll be getting any pics like that, more likely some flood water on the river plains of Somerset.... :roll:

I had a collie once, but it wasn't called Glen. Or River....

I'm hoping to see some more progress eventually Kaz after you've changed your mind several times 1st though ..

Well my local views won't look as nice as that Glen Etive so i'll have to settle for the Peak District a bit later on when i've got me bike sorted and i may even venture up Jacbs ladder if i'm feeling upto to it :roll: ..

Re:

Talking of changing my mind Ian.... thinking this is still going to be a bit too 'bum in air, head down' even with those risers... (saddle is at right height for me, measured against 175mm cranks)

Need to get him finished and ride it to see I suppose, but with such a short steerer on the P2's there's not a lot of room for compromise with stack height, etc, so...perhaps better as the road/hack/shop/pub bike as opposed to my proper off roader...??

Bearing in mind there's a....ahem....Breezer frame on the way and then there's the '91 Cindy frame on top of the wardrobe....whistles casually and gads about a bit..... :roll:

I'm sure this one will be out on its ear once the Breezer arrives Kaz

Re:



What you trying to say.....??!!!

Not with that home made paint job, this one will have to be a keeper as no one in their right mind would even nick it, let alone want to buy it.... :facepalm:

It would seem to me Kaz that the general hack idea would be the most suitable from what you've written and the single speed route is what comes to mind as gearing would be a bit of a waste on a hack bike and as for your art work the wife really likes it by the way even though she isn't a fan of floral designs :facepalm: so yea! the Breezer when it arrives maybe the better choice for off road use after all provided the frame size fits nicely ..

Re:

This is what happens when 'let's just go up and down the drive a few times to make sure everything works' turns into 'let's go down the lane....oh look there's some off road and mud...and water....'

Not ideal when you are wearing jeans, the wrong trainers, and it was supposed to be a road going hack bike.... :roll:
