These. They were of odd dims too I recall.

Interesting reading the Aeropress hate/love, some of your brew times seem very long from what I have read and tried over the years, aren't they massively bitter?

I switched from a french press a couple of years back as Mrs Pointer was pregnant and no longer drinking caffeinated coffee, so the single cup size of the aeropress was handy to make two different drinks. Initially I was trying to make espresso type shots for milk based drinks with random success, some v good, some bad. My tastes have since moved towards lighter/African etc roasts and I tend to just use it for filter type brews, which I think it does very well.

I agree with other posts about using the aeropress the right way up, you cannot help but lose some coffee whilst setting up, once the plunger goes in you can pull it back a little to stop this but it is not ideal.

For me the best method is inverted and using a metal filter (has lasted over a year of 2/3 cups per day and removes the faff/waste with the paper ones) plus a decent grind. I tend to use YB as they are local to me, plus I don't have a grinder yet. I don't really want to open the can of worms which owning one will inevitably bring me.

Lovely film and a beautiful print. It’s great to see the process involved, nice work.

Ah I see. Seems everything went as expected, quite a feat of engineering.

^ isn't this the second time? They flew the first mission in the summer I thought? Might be wrong. Very cool anyhow.

Top forum post ever? most probably. Fair play for taking the time out to respond.

Yep a vague "few months" is a bit odd!

Isn't this quite normal? Ive 'sold' before looking for my next property before, as long as your buyer is aware, it can put you in a great buying position.
Re awkward viewings, we arrived at a place which was being looked after by the son of the owner. He was there smoking weed laying on a bed in one of the rooms! He didn't/couldn't perhaps move. Great way to market a family home

^^ That's awesome.

Sold and will have a new life! Thanks

Ok. Thanks.

Having a bit of a clear out and this frame has been lurking at the back of my garage for over ten years. I bought it for the forks which were sprayed and I still use these as road forks on my SBDU Ti Raleigh Track bike.!

This frame is not a Raleigh frame/SDBU, etc, just a lovely hand built frame, it weighs 1860g including headset races

Anyone fancy this for £20 postage and packing? or collect from Northants for free.
It is a lovely frame, could use a strip and re-paint or use as a beater. Link to original for sale post back in 2010 below.

I'd stick with the Kona, it's different and repainted with the correct format logo will look ace. You'd find another Gazelle pretty easily.

Wow, just wow. Such an amazing machine and story. Will keep an eye on this one.

^I am about 6 months into trying different coffees from various roasters after years drinking the odd mediocre brew. I'm Northants based and so I may be biased, but the Hambella from YBCR is/has been the stand out for me, it is absolutely delicious.

Now and again, there's been a few rough ones on eBay recently. I do keep an eye out.

I missed out on that exact Saracen Kili Ultra Ti on retrobike a good few years back. Was really pissed off to see the guy who bought it strip it down and sell the parts separately.
Those Ti forks are rare as, I've only seen two sets.
I've wanted one since 1994, I do keep a look out but very few decent ones come along.
CSB etc

Agree on the Snyders, I was slightly addicted to the Jalapeno ones a while back. They are awesome but full of MSG, so I avoid now.

Don't suppose you used to race in the CMBC series back in the 90's? It used to be huge down there, always a good turn out.

Yes me too, I normally call by the shop so to me it feels a bit alien to order online.

@Sumo YBCR is back up and selling online this am, I've just placed an order.

^same down in Cornwall. Holiday homes actively being marketed as 'isolation breaks'. Seriously what the hell is wrong with people. There is one fairly small hospital in Cornwall and a high elderly population.

@JB John Lobb (Northampton not the original bespoke London JL) are owned by Hermes also.

Brutal - hope he recovers ok.

Nicholas Dlamini - have seen the footage on socials, absolutely shocking. This should probably be in WTF.
