"mad MAX" (aka Yokel-Motion 1.0)

That's the preferred method according to Campag, but I couldn't tell you why.

You'll note that as an alternative, you can simply torque them to 35nm.

FTFY. At least get it right if you're gonna slag him off.

Must have missed the bit where I slagged him off. Only met him a couple of times in Norwich nearly 30 years ago (he was messing about with recumbents), lovely guy, my memory is that he introduced himself as 'Mick'. I don't think saying someone is from Norfolk is an insult, unless you're from Suffolk.

^Aha no, I live in Norwich, I guess I just jumped to conclusions - we're used to getting stick out here, apologies!

Nfn.

Nope, they really do sound like Sam Gamgee in slo-mo up there. It's the shallow end of the gene pool.

I have met this man and can confirm that he is unintelligible, that his watch runs backwards, and that he found the 20-minute train journey from Noomarket to Colchester utterly terrifying.

Oh come on! Colchester station has two entrances; that would catch anyone out.

And I was not terrified; the nosebleed was as a result of the sudden change in altitude: they don't even warn you!

whats a yokel-motion?

Bike looks absolutely class! Stealthy in a sort of Mad Max way.

What room is this though? Your 'man' room or your actual living room?
Total carnage - but I love it!

An ancient fertility ritual performed in and around the notorious Saxted-Hacheston-Sweffling triangle.

I've said too much already...

Thanks! Just ordered some Columbus Max decals to provide a little colour: I'm too old to pull-off the "murdered-out" look.

That's my "living" room and yes I do live on my own.

Nobody in London can afford that anymore.

All about lock-ins at the Earl Soham Vic, buh!

Lovely!

It's exactly what I had envisioned myself building over the springtime if I hadn't splurged all my money on electronic pedals.

I could be persuaded to take in a lodger: do you cook?

Love the Victoria; the Station at Fram is another fave: you local?

Lovely!

Thanks! Is that something new from Speedplay?

I could be persuaded to take in a lodger: do you cook?

With rage mostly yes, very well.

Nobody in London can afford that anymore.

Thank you. I am the rare exception.

The Station is great - the steak sarnies there are really good. Yeah I went to school in Fram and had a job which had me driving all over East Suffolk so I know it well! In London nowadays, though. Miss the shire!

I'm looking forward to seeing this with crabon front and wheel covers. Get ordering!

It looks dead good already.

Too kind.

I'm trying to picture it with decals along the lines of those on your Graham Weigh...

Not speedplay... these

Too kind.

Yes! In hot pink.

What would the decals say?

And there's the rub: I don't know who built it and likely never will; but I suppose that gives me free reign...

Frans Thijssen lived in the next vilage and came with his daughter to my little sister's birthday party: they brought Lego!

That is a cool story!

And the Suffolk Punch with its foot on a ball would make a great headbadge. Just turn the ball into a cog or a bike wheel.
