  whoever said I haven't done my homework, you're right, my bad
  didn't really even read the thread
  Not here to pick a fight, though I think Atlas might
  I'm old enough to be your dad (maybe), and can't write in verse either...

• EU Written Declaration on HGVs - PLEASE SUPPORT

  I sent it to all my 8 (eight) MEP's.... There's zero accountability in the eu, but it is good at making new laws. The vehicles have to change, regardless of which city.. I used to drive 12T trucks, had a near miss with a child, and there's loads of scope for design improvements, imo. Large vehicles will always be taking goods into big populations, on crap roads. Its a central pillar of Capitalism.

  We could do with another campaign, that Gerard Batten returns his fat cat eu pay, on the principle that he's refusing to do the job he's being paid for. UNFCKNGBLVBL

  Cheers Andy, reculver, appreciate your comments.. McCarthy, I'm sure you're right on the whole. The insults and language make that harder to see though.

  Malaysian, GFY, ditto East End Idiot.

  For the above, and anyone else who sits on their a45e.. Some folks have other things to do, apart from rip into newbies on this forum and think it's clever.

  Some of you must be proud of the swathes of people who fuck off elsewhere? No, of course, you just say 'man up', eh Malay? I know every forum has its share of problems, but FFS, you don't own this place, nor have the wit to really know what being a man is.. And I have no probs with LGBT's but I don't think pinkbike is for me. And yes, it's offensive to suggest it Malaysian, if you think someone's 'soft'... Its low budget, you must do better.

  If anyone really wants a row, just pm me, but please make sure you've done your homework ready for school, first. ;)

  Mr Hovis.. That link on handlebar wrapping is no working.. Which I was searching since I'm trying to make some Almarc style bar wraps. First efforts are promising, in patent black on cinelli retro's.. I am going to go over to the classifieds this week, get out my first offerings, and get some feedback. I'll do this unless someone tells me otherwise? I have black and dark brown leathers, and a very heavy black suede to work with at the moment. Maybe someone really keen will just PM me? First dibs is free, then £10 for next few pairs on this forum only. Hard to find right (proper Almarc style) leather, and am still learning the best stitching & sticking methods really. A new thread size will do the trick for me now,

  I have searched t'net, and there's precious little on Almarc methods. Loads of moans about the distructions issued with the Toshi (see here's a decent blog on them) and price of Velo O's but it seems shellac is the way to go with old bar covers[URL="http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2009/01/shellac-and-bar-tape-guide.html"][/URL]

  I've been picking up loads from Sheldon Brown.. HERE after years of lazy bones taking things for repair, I'm back to basics.. I just found out my 1" fork euro racer (1990 Columbus Aelle) has a standard BB, so there's room to be optimistic. ;)

  Yes, I think it looks downset at the crown too. Nice storage option though, looks tidy, easy to slot a shelf down the pole. I might even do one meself.
