  • The seatpost is a little long and needs to trimmed

    Scary...
    Like my grandfather used to say: "I don't understand! It's the third time I cut and it's still too short!"

  • This isn't a sitcom! ;)

    Also you better have some nice French cafe we are going to ride/walk to!

  • Cazakstan - Bike is built, on the maiden voyage Ho realises the saddle is angled wrong and gets off to adjust it. Rounds a seatmast bolt.
    Andyp - HoKe rides it, doesn't like the lack of vertical compliance, sells it for a song.
    BN - Ho finally gets to race the bike at Herne Hill. Unfortunately, it's in a cyclocross race..
    853superfly - Hoke rides it decides to slave it with risers for ultimate Tarck Beik, never races it.
    upsidedown - Hoke cuts the seatmast too short
    Haveo - CRACK
    danslecarton - seatmast cracks, ends up buying a Pre Cursa

  • @danslecarton - seatmast cracks, ends up buying Dolan

    I could help there, may have a 56 FXE with headset and matching seatpost, Hoke has second dibs by proxy now :)

  • Not sure if it is a win so much as not coming last in a race with two people.

    PhilDAS - first ride on the track and a young lad fresh out of accreditation crashes into Ho and writes off the L96

  • I'm still going to count it nevertheless, probably the only thing I'm going to win this year anyways.

    I thought you weren't riding it outside?

  • ∆ serious question, is it insured @HoKe? Never had anything insured that wasn't legally required but feel this may be an exception!

  • Very good point @jambon. Sometimes contents insurance covers bikes up to £1000 but I think the L96 might breach the threshold ;) Might be worth ringing your insurance company @HoKe and itemising as a standalone item. In the event of an Act of God the deductible will sting but will be worth the coverage.

  • "So your name is HoKe and you want to insure a bike...?"

    Acliff - Bike is flawless, Hoke has an epiphany that his time as a #buyer is over. Sells all belongings on Facebay and buys a beater Fixie to start the cycle again

    Miitch - An obscure look-specific part of the headset cracks and the whole process begins over again

  • deleted, must pay more attention as Cazakstan had already mentioned the bolt

  • 'alain' bolt

    quoted for prosperity

  • Also you better have some nice French cafe we are going to ride/walk to!

    Yes I got this...
    Need to find time of the baby though...

  • I'm currently with yellow jersey and next month is my renewal period, I'll phone them up and see if I can add another bike and see how this will affect my premium.

  • I can guess.
    💸💸💸

  • Only to and from the track.

  • Glad this shambles has finally been sorted for you mate, although this thread was pretty funny.

  • No fixie crits?
