Just done a full refresh of the cockpit on my T900 including swapping out the quill stem for an adaptor and stem, new handlebars, and then this excellent PDW pizza tape. I fucking love it.

Just grabbed tickets for the O. record release show at Rough Trade East in June. Really like what I've heard from them so far, very Black Midi/Melt Yourself Down sort of thing.

Nice! I've got a T900 of what I believe is similar vintage... bloody lovely bike and a joy to ride.

Was dead pleased with that one - an original 1973 Blue Note for $15.

That red helmet.....

Patrick Mahomes?

Just spent a few days in NYC and obviously had to do some digging. Found a couple of ace records shops in the East Village with crates of cool jazz and hip-hop stuff.

In used condition, see photos - don't know a lot about them in regards to specific model numbers and that, but will try to answer any questions as best I can.

Bought them ages ago and they've sat in the parts bin ever since - probably never going to use them now. Priced based on what I can find similar looking ones going for - but make me an offer if I'm way off.

£30 ono - add on a few quid for postage, or can be collected from Portsmouth.

Little celebration photo after finishing A Day In Hell at the weekend.

I'm just about to think about refreshing the cockpit on my Cannondale, and really like the look of that CampAndGoSlow rattlesnake tape. Has anyone used it? And is it really worth £50?

I feel like she just loves being a radio presenter and therefore just says yes to any opportunity that comes her way.
The enthusiuasm difference between her and Tom (when he bothers to turn up) is astounding.

I just got one of these cool Bundobust ones in honour of one of the best curries I've ever eaten.

Anyone doing A Day In Hell this weekend?

I didn't know that. We live a couple of minutes away from Kassassin Street, that's a fun little fact.

.

Done. As usual, what was supposed to be a ratty build actually ended up quite nice. And fully completed with only parts I already had - cost me zero additional pence on top of the initial bike purchase (which was mostly funded by the sale of another one anyway).

Managed to fit some chunky Schwalbe Spicer tyres on, which should make for a nice comfortable ride.

That's what I was hoping, yes please :) I'll take the bottle cage too in that case. Can't ever have enough of those.

Hey! Could I please have the pump and the seatpost? (Also the stem if that's not being too greedy - don't need it but would be a handy spare.)

My latest ratty runabout. Grabbed this Charge Plug from FB Marketplace last week then chucked a load of bits from the shed that have been looking for a home on - ran out of light so didn't get time to hook up or adjust the brakes but otherwise it's just about ready to ride.

Just wanted to drop back in to let you all know we've had some excellent news (and this seems like the most appropriate place to share it) - we won our region in the longlist of the Best Indie Bookshop at the British Book Awards this year!
Next step is the proper awards shindig in London in May - so at the very least we've got ourselves a nice dinner out of it!

Just finished the second season of The Bear. Fantastic show, but not relaxing watching, is it. Some of those episodes made me feel anxious as fuck.

I used to have a mk2 Cube. Bloody loved it SO MUCH. So much room inside, economical, easy to drive and park. With the back seats down it was like a van.
As mentioned, it's a Micra underneath so no issues getting parts. Mine had some electrical gremlins from a previous owner's modifications which I knew would be expensive to diagnose and during lockdown it sat for weeks on end so I ended up moving it on. Would have another one with no hesitation though if I found a decent one.

I think he's boring and a bit of a bellend. Different strokes and all that.

Here's my 15% referral code if that helps...

Richard Ashcroft supporting as well. I'd be fuming if I'd paid £140-odd and that's who I had to sit through first.

Yeah, it's obviously not quite as good as the OG but it's entertaining enough. We went to one of the tapings a couple of years ago, they film about 2 hours worth of footage for a 45-minute show so as you can imagine, there's plenty of stuff that doesn't make it on.
My favourite bit is Jamali absolutely tearing into the ID parade guests immediately.
