Well this has distracted me all evening, GLWS

Merlin have a deal on SLX and XT groupsets to add to that MTB build

This one is pretty flash but looks like good value... not sure I can detach the value from the schoolboy immaturity of a helmet with "BELL" on it

Not if they are a greedy/thick bike thief it seems, that story warms the heart!

Thanks for that, good logic and I have some spares so will give them a go

Loads of Intel, thank you! Group is a mix of keen and less keen cyclists so plenty of food for thought. Need to book accommodation then plan a pedal!

Have a pair of black anodised TB14s incoming for a rim brake bike. They will wear with braking, but is it worth using a different pad, e.g. https://www.condorcycles.com/products/campagnolo-shamal-mille-blue-brake-pads to slow the process?

I'm organising a trip to Berlin (a stag do, but with a more mature/less nutso group) and have contacted Crow Cyclery for bike hire, looks rad! Thank you for posting

a rapey Roger Moore Bond film

Fixed that for you

Fair smorgasbord of types and sizes, but Merlin have S Works tubs at £30 each

There's quite a following for pantographing Athena 11 speed stuff, most of it distasteful so my money is on that. £35 Centaur 10 speed is a great buy however!

Holy moly, shome mishtake Shirley?

From LinkedIn, unfortunate

Believe he took significant (c. £750k) director's loan from his company and doesn't have the means to pay it back.

Straight to the golf club thread, but if anyone is looking for a new all bells and whistles road bike these Ridleys look better placed than £12k+ Sl8/SuperSix Lab 71 etc

BB cup tool is the same as Shimano for threaded BBs.

Edit: Circlip is 99p from Halfords!

10/10, what a transformation!

Oooft, bargain. Bump and GLWS.

Merci, paid!
