I wouldn't like to get knocked over by one

not pictured, but there was another bike on the next stand where the lock was through the frame but missed the stand entirely.
2 for a pound.

reminder for everyone to get their teeth serviced just as frequent as their bike

so for those of us who do our own bike maintainance...?

not sure it's really worth ditching 2x for a road bike but 🤷
looks pretty banging as it is to me

kudos for persisting on this, especially considering the weather for the last week.
I vowed to do similar when the first lockdown happened and lasted for two days.
💪

found this pic of an '86 decal... looks like this was before the big specialized wording on the frame, just this one on the downtube so quite low key.

awesome

love it.
I reckon it would look cool with some OG decals, maybe editted to 'rokchopper' to go with the customisation?
do you know what year the frame is from?

quite the collection for sale!

personal preference and all that, but i'd go hoods up a few degrees.

a bit of a nostalgia trip for those of us who grew up in the 80s.
as someone who works in CGI and graphics I can't imagine how long some of this stuff must have taken and the patience involved.

also rear shimano disc wheels for £20 with code and free delivery!

thanks all. i have used a gusset single speed kit previously and i'm still alive.
i need to replace a wheel on my singlespeed charge plug, and it's pretty much impossible to find a prebuilt 700c ss disc wheel (unless someone can give me any pointers?)
it's a 135mm spaced 10mm bolt through, but i'm fairly sure it'll be ok with a 9mm QR hub?
the chain tension is dealt with by an EBB so the dropout position is fixed.

and trisports are banging out shimano rear disc wheels for £25 on ebay for black friday...

any recommendations for rear ss disc hubs?
or is it 'fine' to just use an hg cassette rear wheel with a single speed kit like a gusset 1-er?

for ducks etc.

i had to take a bit of a diversion this morning rather than subject my BB to another submersion

praying mantis style spotted on the mean streets of leicester

i'v never experienced a fd fail. maybe i'm not gravelling hard enough?!
in what way are they failing?

2nd go slightly better. at least i completed all of the solves this time!

just tried 5 in a row against the clock on cstimer.org (thanks for the link @mashton )

i get in a proper panic when timing, i can solve much faster when i'm just messing around!

same.
i hate commute driving though, it's so boring.
my other alternative is a treacherous 20 minute wobble/slide to the nearest bus stop on ungritted icy pavements, and then a 40min wait for the 'every 15 mins' unreliable bus to turn up, by which time i'd be at my desk already.
every time i do it i wish i'd cycled.

i don't know why they're complaining about inheritance tax, they'll be dead.

we've had a dusting here too. the cats weren't sure about it. thankfully i WFH on tuesdays.

actually i don't mind riding in fresh snow, it's tomorrow morning when it's iced over that gives me the fear...
