Theyre not full carbon, just carbon wrapped. Youll be fine

You understand that commenting on your girlfriend is way too easy, right?

Is that a threat or advice?

Top work on the Serotta t-max!

Bike looks great, obviously you have that saddle for a reason but aesthetically an old turbo or concor would finish it off lovely.

Hmmm can you get woundup MTB forks?

:-o that would look aweosme

Absolutely perfect.

It's a question (hence the question mark at the end of the sentence)

It does indeed look like he has a girlfriend IRL.

What is the need to comment?

your girlfriend is way too easy

Not as easy as your mum :)

I was actually trying to be funny and lighten up the conversation.. didn't think I would offend 2 guys with it.

My apologies, will try to be serious with you guys from now on.

You know what would have kept the mood light? Commenting on the bike and not making shit jokes.

again, my sincerest apologies. I will not discuss any other matter that bikes from now on in this miscellany chat..

Just don't be such a creep mate, joking or not?

bike looks very tidy! Has your GF had any problem with chain drop at all?

I've been given this old Saracen, which looks like it dates back to the early 90's. It's got Magura rim brakes, the rear of which need adjusting so the one of the pads is not so close to the rim. This my first experience with hydraulic rim brakes - Any idea how to slacken-off the pads?

the one of the pads is not so close to the rim

Would suggest they are broken, since they should auto adjust them selves.. But you could start by draining all the hydraulic fluid, checking if the pads move free by hand and then filling and bleeding the system again.

Nice frame though! I'd try a disc conversion on it :)

I have the same one! Dunno how to sort the rim brakes though, thankfully mine work.
