Near Stonehenge? Salisbury?
Get some druid action going on.

Riding my dutch through the freshly fallen unpacked slush with a thin coat of just-starting-to-harden icy bits was rather hairy yesterday, being compounded by having a 12kg holdall strapped to the back rack.
Coming down a pedestrian ramp over the A12 with only the coaster brake which then locked as I slid/skidded all the way down the ramp was a 'little' terrifying...I couldn't unlock the brake as it was the only thing slowing me down, with the frame flexing and twisting I felt like a lorry about to jacknife, I managed to hold the skid all the way down the ramp and control it round the tight bend at the bottom...all in 2'' heels...FTW...
Snow on cheeks, shoulders and hat when I arrived home ...;D... -

Driving down to Winchester tomorrow- M3 all the way was the plan.
Tommy- reckon it will be ok?
All the local news suggest the M3 is cool now, it was just yesterday pm it shut for a while around Bainsingstoke way. A31to Alton is still meant to be bad, that's about it I think.

This made I larf

What kind of frame is that? Very similar to my old killer v (1996)
it uses the old delta V design for strength , has the eccentric bottom bracket from the tandem and a solid 26" MTB fork , the rear is 135mm for the alfine 8 speed hub
just fitted the tyres yesterday , KHE flatland folding tyres , 270g each
in the spring i'll get the 144bcd cranks on and a bigger track chainring

ditto.
I cycled out of basingstoke up the road to bramley to where my ladyfriend had been waiting for a good two hours already in solid gridlock. I then kept her company for a further two hours until we finally re-entered the 'stoke and could park and go inside for hot cocoa and board games.
note: many people do not know how to drive in snowy conditions; floor-it ≠ the solution.

Shit I never noticed you were from aberdeen too. Shit that bike sounds a bit tech / custom for me, it's pretty cool though. What khe tyres are they? (lamello's or the newer ones?), a lot of us (bmxers in the deen) have had problems with the the newer ones, popping off rims, deforming with mad bulges or just getting punctures all the time.
Has anyone been out with ben (dudenhoffer) and his mate trying to make his wee film yet?

they are newer than the lamellos , its a folding kevlar lined 40mm wide(1.5) designed for flatland , can take 120psi , and says in the blurb that they have kevlar through out the casing to prevent weird bulging, only time will tell
i've had to order tubes from germany for them as schwalbe UK want a 25 minimum order , my current tubes are 2.0 and a bit wrinkled up inside the tryes

I really fancy one of those hooligans - i tried one out at the cycle show the year before last, it was a singlespeed version that doesn't seem to be available now. It's probably the only bike that has ever made me laugh out loud when I rode it. Maybe I should get the 3 speed version on the cycle to work scheme in May. I'd need to find out how to ride a stolen bike first, of course...

I'm done in the New Forest, where are you heading? There are still problems around Basingstoke apparently but the main roads are fine.
