Day Moe, no need. Manchester is broken already.

Riding your bike outdoors in winter? How 20th century

Loaner Powertap FTMFW

wow that looks fun.

you done a dammit?

I will be in though Jaygee - if my knee and bike have recovered from my twat-driver spill yesterday.

Promise to work on the 'climbs' - no soft pedaling for you and Steve :)

Sorry about your knee (and bike). I only have a FWB at the moment. No way I could keep up with either you or Steve on the Steamroller.

Is that a dripping tray?

Fun? 3-lap challenge thread is not a place for fun or antics.

Take that back

there's something slightly fetishistic about the black plastic sheeting...what else do you get up to in there?

Are those LPs or your porn mag collection?

It would appear I hit the car at about 30kmph.

Ouchie.

Just found the exact same frame for £699 on Evans' website. Purchased immediately!

... Here's hoping it's not just some stock-taking error.

sort of great news (great that you have found a replacement, not so great a replacement was needed)

do you have all the tools to transfer everything over?

how did your wheels survive the impact?

i probably have most tools here to rebuild the bike if you need

Great news.

Hmm. Maybe we should have a ladies ride doing laps of Richmond Park. It would seem to be the place to ride round in circles!

Is there a pub halfway we can stop at though?

Nice pubs within 2 minutes of Ham, Richmond and Sheen gates!

Lass O’ Richmond Hill is close enough.

Nice pubs within 2 minutes of Ham, Richmond and Sheen gates!

Sweet. This could be the 1st ladies ride I don't balls up/accidentally lead us onto a motorway!

Haha, that could be done in Richmond Park but it would be very difficult.

If anyone can manage it, it's me.

"Left here! No, erm right! No actually, it's deffo left!"

I need a garmin imbedded in me like a pacemaker.

I've everything bar a workstand which it would be nice to borrow if you've one?

Wheels not only survived but remain true! Must have hit the back dead-on and the weakest component in the wheel/fork/steerer/frame equation was evidently the frame. I'd bet that the fork is fine too as it's an alu steerer... Not that I'll be selling it on Obv.
