Unfortunately I'm still up north studying but I'll certainly come along on my week off, I've got 2 weekends, sometime mid november. Hope they're still happening, I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks for the responses guys, definitely going to aim for the chiltern next year, cheers

Brilliant, thanks for your help

I tend to find the longer ones a bit comfier, seem to be more places to sit if you get numb, I quite like the old flights

Boom!

I can't look with my eyes...

I'll buy it, 90 quid.

You want to buy my little nipple hat? I'd probably let it go for less

Thanks for your all your help

Hi, would you swap the frame for a similarly sized Merckx MX leader, I love the Merckx but there's something alluring about a new frame, grass is always greener and that!

Cheers

Having a very problems with this supposedly easy job. I'm pretty sure I've got a square taper bottom bracket but after removing the bolts without fuss, I screwed in the crank extractor also without a hitch. However on screwing in the remover ( push down thing) it got very stiff very quickly and it wouldn't go any further. The crank showed no sign of coming free. When I took the tool out this little mystery fell on the floor? Wondering if it's come off the cranks or the tool?

pictures below:

Does the little spindle thing go in the round jobbie? I can't get the thing to go back into either the bike or the tool.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers

The tape's back in the game! just the saddle for me, cheers

Dibs on the saddle and brown tape please
Cheers

Quite like my cliplesss pedals but good luck with these, they look smart.
You riding tomorrow/tonight ?

Can't even straighten the front wheel beyond the down tube before you even begin to talk about toe stroke :P

Seems like he got round that one by removing the pedals :)

Was thinking about this, was miles too small but looked gorgeous. Anyone here snap it up?

Hi doctor, wondering how my old bike found its way into your hands? I still have the original catalogue page I forgot to give to Alex. Not sure if you are Alex or not? But if you'd like it I could easily post it. You building this up into a fixed? Still running the Sheriff star front? Sorry about all the questions, just keen to see how it turns out.
Cheers

23 inch 531, looks in nice condition

I'll have the brake and lever if it's still available?

Forgot to mention the large orange bike with an equally large owner today at Borough market, gave you a bit of a curios head nod thing. My way of saying hi, was allowed to go over because my girlfriend accused me of flirting!

Good to see you too GA2G, bit of an effort getting those wheels home, but would have been impossible with out that inner tube! Next time I'm in London a bit longer I'll be sure to come along for drinks. Cheers

Ah yes, a very nice thread indeed. Answers my question really. I'm going for the grand if you care to join, might get my mum on an extra cake stop though, looks tiring!

Was just looking at some different routes today, and stumbled across the Grand Fondo sportive leaving from Great Missenden. Apparently it goes straight passed my house (news to me) up Bison hill and the Crong.

I was wondering if anyones done it before? anyone into sportives? Would be a good challenge, especially after riding the area, if anyones diaries go that far ahead.

I recognize those photos! this sites pretty useful if your going for the magic gear solution.
