Any question answered...

1.5" headtube with a 1 1/8th streerer?

If that means ZS44, you're probably looking at a non-stock size. Measure up and put your requirements in the slam that stem thread, it's not going to be long before I need to get a batch made up.

Will do, thank you.

Yes - see Golden Ocean Group Ltd v Salgaocar Mining Industries PVT Ltd [2012] EWCA Civ 265 in which a name at the end of an email was held to constitute a signature for the purposes of the Statute of Frauds 1677. In any event, unless it's a guarantee or a contract for the sale of land, or another type of contract where the law requires specific formalities before a contract can arise, there's no requirement for a signature in order to create a legally-binding contract. The fact that they've returned it and said they've signed it shows that they've agreed to its terms.

I have to return my contract of employment, work have said I need to print it, sign it, then scan that and email it - would your above statement indicate that I can actually return it as an attachment with "I agree, Neil" in the email body? Would save a lot of hassle.

Interested to know the correct answer to this (although I think Danstuff has already addressed that) - It's something I have to contend with all the time at work.

I'll split Danstuff's fee with you

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

ETA - FWIW I have a scanned jpeg of my handwritten sig, and more often than not this gets copy & pasted into the relevant doc before it is returned as a pdf.
Not had one rejected so far.

I've converted mine (signature) to a SVG for maximum lolz

Anybody got any information on Oakley bicycles?

I've seen nice Oakley forks and now a sweet looking vintage MTB but can't really find anything online.

Anyone (based in London) looking for some nuts/bolts/washers? Ordering some stuff from Accu and hoping to share the postage a bit... Happy to meet more or less anywhere (within reason) to sort something out.

Them sending you the contract is an offer. It becomes a contract once you accept it. Acceptance can be by any means of communication you like, provided it's unequivocal. Signing the contract, writing a letter, an email, a phone call, interpretative dance - take your pick. However, the person making the offer can specify the mode of acceptance, and attempts to accept by any other means will be treated as a counter-offer. Although they haven't said as such expressly, they could argue that their statement that you need to print, sign, scan and email the written contract amounts to a restriction on the permissible means of acceptance so that attempting to accept the offer by any other means would not give rise to a binding contract. Whether or not that would be the proper interpretation of their requirement of a signed copy would depend upon the precise words used, the surrounding factual matrix, and the application of the five principles of interpretation identified by Lord Hoffman in the Investors Compensation Scheme v. West Bromwich Building Society case. If you'd like to argue the point, I know many lawyers who would be very happy to argue the point at inordinate length and expense. Personally, I'd just do what they're asking for.

If I was charging, you'd have to split the solicitor's fee too - I'm not authorized to take instructions directly from the public. Happily that doesn't apply to advice tendered on the 'friends and family' basis which is that you get what you pay for, and it's free.

^^I'd love to, however I'm in hospital tomorrow and recovering at home tomorrow, so access to a printer is restricted, I would normally ask a colleague to print the two sheets of paper out and meet me somewhere local but then my Walter Mitty like existence would be revealed when they saw my pittance of a salary, so that's out.

= HR want the document back by Friday, I'm not in work until Monday.

I'm sure the world will not end, of course, but HR do like you to do what they say.

In that case, post them a link to the YouTube video of your interpretative dance routine 'Job Offer Acceptance'. Or explain the position to them and say you'll do it first thing Monday.

P.S. No printer at home? Boggle.

If they make you an offer and you start turning up, they can declare that you have in effect accepted the contract.

We have a printer and scanner.

And you can come get your t-shirt......

Just do what you normally do and get me to print it for you. I already know I'm the major bread winner in this relationship anyway.

Austrian fashion maven, no?

@LongAndWinding is doing DIY tomorrow. I might WFH. We are around.

Thank you! I definitely owe you a beer.

Seeking recommendations for drops for casual touring. Nothing too hardcore but comfy over time and ok on gravel tracks etc. It's for upgrading an old MTB which has had cut down flat bars + wrapped bar ends for years and fairly good position-wise so thinking to raise stem to get hoods in similar place. Looking at Salsa Cowbells but not sure if they're easy to get hold of.

Anyone here able to read the results of a full blood count and tell me if I am anaemic/ if it explains why I'm permanently fucked by 2pm?
