Yeah they have some amazing aircraft. The DH Comet was a beaut. SE5 and other WW1 aircraft also great to see up close. Then there’s all the weird stuff (including the worlds oldest flying aircraft from 1909 I think). Check out the Bristol Boxkite!

Found this description of flying their Sea hurricane fascinating https://haa-uk.aero/document/the-shuttleworth-collection-hawker-sea-hurricane/

Shuttleworth. Definitely a good place to go. Great cafe. Eldest was a fan (of both cafe and tiger moths).

Filth

Thanks!

I’m gonna be doing an extended trip in Mallorca in April - will be there for a month. I’m travelling with my wife and two small kids. It seems that adding bikes to the amount of stuff that we will need will be hard, especially in relation to cars from the airport etc. Anyone have any tips for this or ways round it? The cost for renting a bike for that period is basically the same as buying one!

Damn it

I was 9th biggest muesli buyer in streatham in '21.

Guards on and steerer chopped ready for winter duties. Could’ve done a better job on the rear guard and oddly seem to be missing bolts for the rear flap - anyone else had this experience with PDWs?

Shows my knowledge of disk brakes!

Will PM

Hi there, are these centrelock? Cheers

This is sold now - thanks!

Good luck. Jels. Looks like a tailwind for the last push. One day I’ll do this again!

Anyone more DIY minded be able to inform me of the security of the lock and hinges on my shed? There are two of the hinges (with the bolts shown). Would someone simply be able to remove the door from the hinges?

Any ideas for improving bike security in a wooden shed with windows? Door has an entry sensor and there’s a glass break sensor. But how best to lock bikes within for piece of mind? Current philosophy is they are locked to enough large stuff to be hard to move, and the alarm goes off instantly…

Rides brilliantly (went 58r)

Anyone in the market for a pompino v3? Thinking of selling mine but not sure on price. Frame is in decent condition, built with a mishmash of parts (as is tradition). Shimano mini vs (which are fab), old ultegra front wheel, cheap rear wheel with rusty spokes, full mudguards. Set up fixed 44/16 at the mo. I’d probably keep the ATACs and bottle cage plus stick another saddle on it. Great bike but I just don’t ride it anymore. Think it’s a Large but will check. For comparison I ride a 58r Strael and both fit (6ft on the nail)

This is back for sale as the buyer paused their project.

Have a second kid due soon so this would probably just hang on the wall anyway

For all the folks doubtless thrilled by this story - looks like a 58r might be the better choice by the below. Nice of Fairlight to bear with the questions.

Ah I get it now. That makes sense. Thank you.

Stem angle on current bike is -7

So a 56r would require a big spacer tower (more than 35mm)? Or just 35mm with a 100mm stem…? Therefore being almost exactly the same in appearance to the Genesis

I can’t fathom the fit at all. Why an 80mm stem with the 58r when according to the geo on the previous page it’s only 12mm longer in reach than my current bike. Which is comfy with a 110mm stem. I regret being bad at maths.

It’s 110mm on the Genesis. Dunno why this is so hard to work out!

The thing is, my fit report suggested a 80mm stem on a 58r, which just sounds a bit short and I’m worried it could make the handling odd/not look great

Random one - are you still offering test rides haha? I think I’m between a 56T (slammed as I have 35mm spacers and top cap on current bike) and a 58R
