    Cheers, some good suggestions, just worried a couple will actually make it harder work to get home but would def make me go slower ;)

    I'm feeling pretty knackered today and have my 13 mile commute home to do. Really I want to take this nice and steady, even slow! Now that's where the problem starts, can't seem to do this, know I'll probably start racing home this evening. Anyone have any hints how to keep a slower pace?

    Working with a 70's Pug conversion which has of course the AVA stem and bars. Have heard that these have a reputation of failing. The stem appears to be in pretty could condition. Does anyone have any experience of these stems? Obviously not a good thing if it does fail but how common is this problem...is the risk worth it compared to either finding a used 22mm stem or buying new 22.2 and sanding it down?

    Terribly sad after hearing of this tragic accident, signed the petition, let's hope it can help make our roads safer.

    In process of renovating my old 70's Peugeot. Got crappy rusted cottered cranks that are coming off. BB being replaced with a new French thread velo orange bb (that's the plan anyway).
    Don't want to spend loads on this thing at the moment. Have seen a few crank sets on Ebay sold by wheel and sprocket, "eigth inch" which are an ok price.
    Anyone know anything about that brand?
