A lock that big is superfluous. Outside london no one steals bikes. A wee cable is sufficient, and even if you are in a risky spot a Mini D would be much more weight efficient.
^ this again
Mini D would be as strong as that lock on the bicycle.
An alarm padlock would be useful actually, slight movement send 110dB blaring at the offender's ears and anyone within vicinity of the stolen bicycle.

Well, it's a lot of money to be just sitting in the shed :-) Plus, after receiving the frame from Robin, I soon wished I'd gone for a slightly larger frame (+2 or 3cm). It's a nice ride, but not as versatile as I'd like these days.
2 or 3 cms?!
Who fit you? -
This one shows the fading a bit better:
I reckon it looks a bit more classy/subtle than the one it was based on actually:
looks good stu! very tidy.

Anyone like to give me the cash to buy one then?
After having used a large krypto for a while now I realise a mini krypto would have been a much better shout, until that next student loan I'll be making do :p

Well if you plan to go touring anytime soon, you can borrow mine. I don't lock my bikes up ATM.

Finally got pics of my warranty replacement frame.

just looking at bars and stems, what is the benefit in oversize ones? anyone recommend any cheap ones?
Forget any claimed benefits for OS bars/stems. The reason to get them is practical. Both MTB and road use OS, therefore more choice in stems. It's now standard, so any future upgrades you do will probably be OS.
For stems go to ebay. Deda Zeros' seem to be well priced and are light as are Ritchy's.
I don't know how up-to-date the links are but this post might be helpful.
FSA bars are good value for money. It's all about personal preference, I like compact ones. There's are really good website I thought I had bookmarked which brakes down lots of bar shapes.

This is a new project of mine, I bought the full bike off eBay, it was in fairly crap condition, lots of rust and a seized stem (took it to armourtex, real sound guys removed it for £15)
Despite it's poor condition it's a lovely frame, and if I decide to build it up and ride it I'll get it resprayed.
Some questions:
1). Who the hell are WYLD?
2). What the hell is the braze on in the 2nd picture??
-
the braze on is for a race number and I would imagine wyld is related to this chap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Wyld

1) no idea
2) could be wrong, but it's for a racing number? -
^^beat me

Will look into the possibility that this frame is related to that bloke

This. There are bastards and gits and sods in every city in every country in the world. There are probably even alien shits on alien worlds stealing alien bicycles. The buggers.
