  Don't sell your cassette lockring removers, they end up being like a museum of bikes past. Still have a Regina CX remover from my 80's race bike.

  I can't quite see from the photos but is it possible to lift the gate off its hinges? I ask because that's how thieves gained entry to my place a few years ago, even with a padlock. When I went to the local hardware store to get 2 stout brackets to put over the hinges, the guy in the store just said "Break in through the gate did they?" apparently it's a thing.

  Tidy work by the way.

  I tried out Benjamin Moore paint for the first time on a wood bannister, very impressed and will use again. Got it from G Travers&Co in Ealing, helpful and un-bullshitty.

  I simply enjoy riding and since I stopped racing, I’ve found having some basic structure to my rides keeps me on track. Nothing fancy, take every 3rd week easy (I’m in my 50’s), keep an eye on the weekly training stress, which now includes long walks, runs, DIY and gardening. Don’t worry about what other people are doing.

  Some of my most enjoyable rides have been on my shopping/pub bike – mid 80’s Raleigh Pioneer, rust, busted everything and cobwebs. Really shifts your mind-set.

  Part of what drives it all is knowing that one day I won’t be able to swing my leg over a bike, and then I’ll regret every time I chose not to get out there.

• Saddles and wheelsets - Selle San Marco, Fulcrum, Carbon track clinchers, etc.

  Saw the Audi about 8am and did wonder. Hope the rider is OK.

  29.2.22, Saturday morning, I saw a rider go down in an group in what looked like an innocuous touch of wheels. Lap after that they were doing compressions on one of the guys, next lap they had closed the road for the air ambulance.
  Didn't see any news of how he's doing, anyone know?

• Workwear; or, Dandy rigouts in which to perform manual labour.

  Came across the Kuhl brand whilst in Canada recently, their work pants looked particularly good. Not sure if they are available over here.

  I had a similar task but with two 1.85m x .65m pieces, I went for the contact adhesive because handling the pieces and getting any kind of even clamping was a little tricky. Your 100x32 cm should be fine with enough clamps for wood glue.

• FS: Sunglasses, chainrings, saddle
