fiat uno turbo i.e.

Thanks folks. The PX is a little bit overkill TBH and I really want proper guards after the scrape scrape of crud racers. Would like a little more traditional than the Arkose, I'll do longish rides and chain gang on it, although I haven't ruled out cx style stuff. The Dolomite - interesting, I'll take a closer look.

Some people whom society let down balanced up the wealth by nicking my fucking bike.
So I'm looking for a replacement winter bike, max £900ish. Must have guards and preferably 25+ tyre clearance, 105 or Veloce.
The Ribble Audax special with 105 finished yesterday, their bike builder ones are still an option but tyre clearance minimal and increased price over the special a bit galling. Dolan Prefissio sold out in my 56cm size.
Might consider Kenesis race light t2 home build.
Any other interesting options? Anyone seen any bargains?

I am selling some mintish Classic Bibs, medium, with packaging (oh yeah). Was going to wait until spring to sell but if anyones interested...

I see, cheers.

KMC chains are not Shimano or Campag specific - so why are the links?

what in the wide wide world of sports is this shit?

In August last year, I suffered an L5/S1 extruded disc. I think I have been 'lucky' in one way, the excruciating pain subsided fairly quickly and now I'm pretty much OK in the back, I get the odd ache, but it's manageable.
However, my remaining issue is nerve damage. During the day last year when pain peaked, I experienced increasing pins and needles and numbness, primarily in my left foot, but also in my calf and hamstring area.
Over time there's been a definite improvement, it used to feel extremely tight and I had significant loss of strength. However, these improvements were over the first 3 months, not so much since. I can still ride my bike, but I fatigue quickly and I'm weak on hills and sprinting.
I've been told by a neurologist and spine consultant that it's a case of waiting 9 months to 1 year and nerves may recover..or they may not. If not, I'll never cycle again in the same (admittedly average) capacity. It's also very uncomfortable to walk without shoes, particularly on cold, hard surfaces.
Perhaps this can serve as a warning, I wasn't previously aware that back issues could lead to semi permanent or permanent nerve damage.
The physios and consultants I've seen have been through my work health scheme so maybe not surprising that they are only really interested in getting you pain free, not back to how you were previously in terms of fitness.

So my problem is that I don't know who to turn to for help now, whether I can speed/aid recovery or whether it is a case of fingers crossed, wait and see. Web searches bring up very little.

So I was really wondering if anyone else had experience of this? Did you recover? Has anyone had success with any nerve recovery methods?

Can you please tell which Campag cassette this is? I'm just wondering if it's better than my normal 10spd 2013 Centaur and therefore worth swapping in.

Running around after fat bankers pumping up Pinarello tyres?
No, ta.

But doesn't sound like it's for wearing on a bike?

BlackBerry OS does same, so this wry observation works equally well there

That article is like a trillion words or summat. What's the gist?

Thanks folks, I'm off to Wilko to procure. Let's get Xmas started in here (huh)

Er..to get my kids into the Xmas spirit, I'd like a small set of classy, white outdoor lights in our front garden tree. I have no permanent outdoor mains supply nor do I want to drill holes in the house. How do I supply power?
