  If you're the careful perfectionist type you could save a lot of money by printing 8 A3 sheets and sticking them together. If its for a visual joke it wouldn't matter that much would it?

  £20 is pretty much standard for A0 though

  I'm the tight type, so this might be an option...

  Watcha, I know there's a couple of you on here who know the printing business well, so I'm after a bit of advice.

  I'm looking to get a large poster done. It'll be a blown up photo for a visual joke in a best man's speech. In my mind I'm thinking that a full on glossy fella would be a bit ott, I'm after a relatively low quality / resolution colour print. The kind of thing a bog standard colour laser printer, only in A0...

  I've looked around (albeit briefly) online and am not really sure what I'd get for my money.

  This place www.1clickprint.com would cost me £20 is that about as cheap as it goes? Or would a local copy shop be able to sort me out cheaper?

  Thanks

• Holdsworth Mystique - Worth Saving?

  Watcha,

  I've just been offered an old holdsworth and I'm thinking of honing my bike mending skills by trying to convert it, but is it worth while?

  The bike itself if a bit rusty in places, but it looks surface stuff only, so a new paint job might be in order.

  There's no indication on the frame of the steel used although the forks are reynolds 531. The only details I can find on the net indicate this was a fairly low end bike.

  Is it worth trying to rescue?

  Thanks

  that crash has clearly hurt him, judging by the way he lashed out at reporters who were deliberately poking his left shoulder during an interview after the last stage. i reckon he rode an awesome stage on monday, considering how much pain he must've been in.

  I thought it was an aussie reporter, why would he poke him deliberately? He's a spooky bloke with spooky eyes. I remember him giving the reporters a bit of a tough interview last year too.

  Having said all that I'd kind of like him to win.

  I put a set of race blades on the rear, no probs, think clearance was an issue for the front though. I put them on as a spur of the moment thing one morning, so might have been able to get it to fit with more time.

  Deffo nothing on the frame to fix a standard rack for panniers to. There are a number of solutions to that I believe (seat post supported ones, something that fixes on to the skewer / uses p clips) but you'd need to look in to a non standard solution, sorry...

  also, if u say there is very little damage, why try to claim money? fair enough if u or ur bike are totally fucked, but i don't get it if there is no big fuss.

  Because with my right arm in a sling I can't ride or drive for a week (tube and train fares) cook properly, write or type normally, I'm in pain when I sleep and hence don't sleep well and I keep having to hoover up painkillers, all because of someone else's carelessness....

  I'm with you on this one. I cacked up my ankle in a completely someone else fault accident. This meant I couldn't cycle or do a number of other things I enjoyed at the time for about 3 months. I used the relatively small cheque I got from her insurers to buys frivolous things that would pay back some of that lost enjoyment.
