Same same but new

That's a really beautiful build!

You’re not a fan of the Latvian kit?

Big fuckboy energy

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

What’s consensus on a 26”, all black, rim brake wheelset for a MGOOF 80’s/90’s MTB build that isn’t going to break the bank?

Mega! Hour record after your upcoming win please.

@EstelleGetty In my case I think the biggest hurdle is that they are multi-panel sashes. The slimline "heritage" double glazing design I've asked for is a single 12mm think panel made to look like individual sashes. Otherwise the design is matched in the dimension of windows bars and design of mouldings.

YMMV and I really hope it does as I know how crazy and backwards the planning (namely conservation officer) process can be.

Most local authorities will not want and will resist stick on glazing bars to replicate the multi pane design of each sash, and instead want to retain a through glazing/window bar with individual panes. The overall typical width of historic slender glazing bars (~14mm) does not allow for the realities of individual double glazed units being in depth/strength of bar for standard double glazed units, or width of bar to cover slimline double glazed unit seals. I have unsuccessful arguments with conservation officers for window bar width increase of 4-6mm as an example of the painful conversations!

We tried to demonstrate that one sash was non-original as it was 15mm too thin to fit in the frame properly (hence the breeze throughout winter), but it would take more effort to prove it I guess.

I am sure you can argue this, or easily justify the need to make amends to that frame/unit. You will get permission (money back guarantee financial advice etc.) to overhaul each unit replacing seals/brushes which would also improve the general leakiness. Depending on how long you see yourself in that property, a high performing single glazed unit with minimal staff bead mounted secondary glazing system will get you down to or even better a double glazed unit but is not cheap. Secondary glazing to your existing setup would be less invasive and also make a huge improvement.

It's also a listed building on a crescent of Grade 2* listed buildings which along with the above makes it the full monty of listedness status.

Good luck and may the odds be in your favour.

Fineo is an odd one. Great from a technical perspective but maintains a minimal spacing between glazed panels through small black plastic spacers at 1” centres so in reality looks like spotted/gridded paper. Great for industrial buildings, less so for more twisted traditional building stock. From memory, it also has a super wide seal around the glazing perimeter pretty much making it unsuitable for typical timber window frames.

Yeah, I’ve got a fair amount of experience in this although admittedly focused in London and surrounding areas. All local authorities are slightly different in their approach to general alterations of listed buildings, but I have found most to be pretty consistent in their approach to alterations to windows. Whilst that recent Historic England guide seems progressive in it’s outlook for listed buildings, it is full of double speak or impossibilities that don’t move the dial forwards in any real way, and aligns with the planning officer paragraph being:

“Slim double glazed units fitted within existing frames (lol, not possible in the vast majority of cases) are only likely to be acceptable where there would be no loss of historic detail (general detailing including mm width of window bars, see above point) or fabric (window frames, potentially glass) and where uniformity of elevations would be maintained (width of window bars, especially if part of a run of similar buildings)”.

Real Historic England guidance is to repair what you have only replacing where absolutely necessary, and replacing seals/brushes to better seal your windows. Most local authorities are open to replacing glass, and something like Histoglass Mono RT+ (not cheap) sits between regular single glazing and double glazing u-value wise. Secondary glazing inboard of this helps you get to double glazing thermal performance levels, and some staff bead mounted systems aren’t that ugly if you squint really tightly.

If you can provide definite evidence that your windows are non-original, and your home isn’t neighboured by similar buildings of equal heritage merit with similar windows then you probably could get something better than the above through but tbh you are going to need to go money gun on it with a decent architect and planning/heritage consultant to argue it through.

In short, what @Howard said.

Paris syndrome is real.

I’ve got some used PDW’s that are surplus to requirements. I’ll message/photo tomorrow and will send across. E2 based.

Dream bike. One of my regular search items!

What colour is your shirt? I agree with @inchpincher that a shorter navy chino would look good. Something like [this] but smarter obvs. (https://www.instagram.com/p/C5JFsGau52L/?img_index=1) would look good

Interesting episode with Mike Sinyard of Specialized including how the company was founded and early days. Relatively high-level with it only being 1hour long but interesting nonetheless.

Is that astronaut on the horse carrying a Chanel flag?

Very shocked at France doing a VERY French event.

100%, and he’d be crazy not to try, the ability to win all three in the same calendar year is too good to pass up!

Best case he firmly cements his place in cycling folklore. Worst case, he looks human.

No idea!

What's going on in Leeds, Leeds, Leeds?

Disorder/rioting resulting from police taking children into care. Police car flipped over, riot police attacked, bus set on fire.

A good stage, the race for 2nd is very much on!

You called it.

Can't tell if joking or not.

Slow it down R Sir Cav, lanterne rouge in your final tour having got the most stage wins record is the only way to bow out.
