Great, just what I was looking for.

Would it be possible to 'remove' the rear cranks from this bike so you could put a kid on the back with some pillion footpegs.

Why bother? So I can cycle with a kid on the back who is too young to trust to share the pedalling. Then down the line I could reverse it.

My thought was if you could put a normal crankset on the front, remove the rear crankset, and add one of those long tail tensioners.

Is it just the pedal threads that are reversed on tadem cracks? Or is there any other funniness?

Some one who wants the tank and doesn't want to pay deposit.

What is the tank, size, gas and make such as calor etc

is there any other funniness?

No, that's the extent of it.

I think if I were trying to lose the stoker cranks, I might get a couple of beater grade drive side cranks off of aliex to maintain the existing crossover drive and saw the arms off to clear the pillion pegs. Doesn't even matter if you end up with a non-unity primary drive ratio, and you might even exploit it to adjust the overall gearing.

Any thoughts on who might and how much to ship from Cornwall to Brighton? It weighs about 120kgs and is worth £2000 in terms of cover. I’ve never shipped things heavier and bigger than bike frames before. Thanks in advance!

Where in Cornwall? I drive from the Tamar to Brighton every now and then if it's not urgent. Is the press connected to the wooden trolley - if screwed can it be undone for travel? I've had courier quotes for similarly weighty things (usually around the 200kg mark and made up of a couple of flight cases) going to Brighton or London and back . They're around the £300-500 mark depending on urgency (which is why I usually drive them myself or have productions arrange their own shipping) though I have seen suppliers (DX) around the £100-150 mark.

Ah thank you. It’s in my studio in Helston so quite far west. The press does unscrew from the base. That’s a kind offer, I think I might end up driving it myself this weekend unless you fancy the drive 🥴

I thought about that, but then discounted it due to the nds stoker crank. But getting two of them is a good solution, and the incorrect pedal threading is irrelevant because they've been cut off!

I'd be happy to do it - I just couldn't say when as it'd have to coincide with a shoot & nothing confirmed in that direction until mid Jan earliest I'm afraid.

See what rubbish people have in their parts bins?

Why are email signatures such a pile of bullshit?

Can anyone point me in the direction of some html code for a signature that’s literally just a logo image and then 3 lines of text, with the (web safe) font, size and colour specified.

I feel like that should be easy but I’m clearly missing something as my crude attempt at an html table didn’t work when I pasted it in to the signature settings in Mail.

Give us the image and text and someone may knock one up for you. Also this is prime ChatGPT material.

Email signatures are pointless. It's wishful thinking that your email will be read at all, let alone all the way to the bottom. They often have utter junk like your email address in which is already in the header. It's just bloat, don't have one. If you absolutely must have one don't use tables and 'web safe fonts', colours etc as it is awful for accessibility. Plain text only. Presumably with your phone number or something daft so people you didn't want to call you do.

It's not for me, it's for my wife's relatively new business venture (production company). They're on board with a pretty streamlined signature, but still do want one.

What's required is literally just a w200px logo image and then 3 lines of text below that. I need to specify font, font size and font colour. I can edit all that stuff in an HTML doc, my issue is that I'm struggling to actually get Mail to execute the html rather than just show the source code.

They’re helpful in telling people who’s who at a company, but they’ve now become mini emails themselves bloated with promotional material, legal disclaimers, and corporate wellbeing spiel.

Ours were recently revamped and they are

MASSIVE

However, I do like having a signature. It wrecks me when I'm brought into massive email chains and have no guage of seniority and how dismissive I can get away with being.

Work emails? How 90's.

no guage of seniority

One companies Senior Vice President is another companies graduate intern. At least in my industry. Perhaps they work better in more mature lines of work.

Email signatures are pointless.

Legal requirement under the companies act I thought?

The place and area I work only has internal emails. They used to have a plug in(?) which would show a user's hierarchy chart but either it's been disabled or broken.

Thanks! That link is exactly what I'm after

Legal requirement under the companies act I thought?

For external email, probably. I can't find the specific text and loads of emails sent by businesses are missing it so it seems fairly ignored[1]. Apparently there are additional requirements in some sectors, eg finance companies have to state they are regulated by someone or other etc. None of this is a logo or ever read.

[1] I've got an email from Amazon telling me something was delivered. No company details.

As someone who deals with lots of third parties and often has no idea who has decided to jump in and reply to me then email signatures can be useful to find out who the hell they are, and a phone number is always useful when someone is ignoring you.

Ludicrously large ones (like my own firm's) are very annoying though.
