Well the 27.2 seatpost arrived today. It didn't fit in at all. I thought it might be that the tube was crimped in a bit, so I opened it out fully and still no joy, so I took my 27.0 post from my Olmo and that didn't fit either. So, any ideas on the size?

Edit
I done gone bought me a vernier.

Those proper Rock Shox?

Bike looks a bargain.

Could you get any more masculine than that?

The new model Dodge Challenger. I always preferred the Challenger over the Charger back in the day and would bore my mates to death as they all thought the Charger was the danglys.

I would like to jump in at Arnos Grove, playing my Coopers early and jumping right across to the Victoria Line Station of Finsbury Park. I assume we are playing the Johnson/Crawley amendments c1978, giving me a free turn on each fifth turn as playing the Coopers on the first go permits?

Thank you :)

width and taper.

That seems to be just a list of peoples setups, not specifically what I need to know. I am asking what BB I need for my BB shell.

I am still not understanding the whole bottom bracket thing. I understand that I should have British threading, but what else am I looking for, size related? I see all sorts of BB for sale and have absolutely no idea where to begin with this as I cant find any original dimensions anywhere. I also pretty much need to replace it as there is movement, failing that I could possibly refurbish, but to be honest I'd rather change it.

Anyone here play World of Tanks?

I cant help but feel this could have been supreme if it had been documented on video.
It would have made an awesome youtube or with proper editing a tv short.

Still, it's wonderful stuff, hat doffed at you sir.

Yeah the more I think about the chain the less I'm thinking it will work (was an impulse purchase). I think the black Brooks is a must.

Horses for courses.
I dont know about the yellow chain, I will decide on it later.

Oh no, i have ordered some Continental tyres in good old black :)

I did also buy a yellow chain which may or may not make it onto the final build.

Aesthetics.

Wheels have arrived from V-Sprint - 3 days after ordering them, nice work on that!
I think they look wonderful, DP18 on Miche.

I need some ideas on what to do with the crankset, bars and seat...

I did a fat bird once.
I asked her if I could turn off the light. She asked "Why do you want to turn the light off?".
I said "The bulb's burning my arse".

I filled my blow-up doll with helium.
I like her more now she's playing hard to get.

Yeah will do, I'm often in the vicinity, hope you've got Tetley rounds there, failing that I can do coffee.

I think I may well have met one of you already, a friend of Darren at the recyling centre?

Small world :)

Sure can you PM me plse?

Sorry davey was out and about.
I am in hertfordshire close to bishops stortford.

I would be all over that if it was sent to me at that price 'swalk'

I feel like a trailer would be bouncing all over the place, am I wrong?

You would obviously need to watch where you were riding and not go bumping up kerbs on it, but no they are incredibly stable considering.

The point I made about the liquid is quite important and you could find yourself in a situation where you find the bike unusable and a waste of money.

The liquid in the bottles is not a solid (obviously) and behaves very erratically when you swerve from side to side and will cause some balance difficulties, quite how much I am unsure, but being as though the bottles are placed quite high up above the center of gravity, the 'sloshing' effect could be unsettling and even dangerous.

Why not go for a bike trailer? You can get some compact ones.
I would prefer to pull a trailer due to the problems you'd encouter due to the high center of gravity when loaded with 40kg of liquid on board.

After the hit and run incident in Cardiff, the local community are said to be 'rallying around'...

I think they should watch their driving, considering what's happened...

Knock Knock?
Who's there?
Labyrinth, come in.
