Guilty as charged. I only employ staff with size 9.5 feet for this reason.

Actual price was £300 which is certainly at the top end of what I’d allow myself to pay.

A pair of Grassmere which are very similar in appearance cost twice that so still pretty happy with my purchase.

I might sell them on with a buy back clause once they’ve got a few hundred miles in them.

Trickers Burford from their factory shop. I’d been watching them for weeks while I waited on another pair I had selling on eBay.

As luck would have it they had another £75 off when I bought as it was the last day of their Black Friday something or other.

Very similar story here, I normally allow other people to break in my leather footwear.

I’ll take it if MCamb doesn’t. Sent dm.

Thanks

Got my eye on something in the Trickers Factory shop, the price is already discounted, just wondered if they do a seasonal sale that would discount further?

Ah thanks, not sure I could live with the flappy collar which is a shame as I like the rest of the jacket.

Don’t suppose you have any photos of the faded yellow jkt in the background?

The difference in arm length is wild, worked out pretty good for you though.

The shrinkage thing has always confused me, are you advised to size up or are the items usually made big?

The jacket looks a great fit, hope that’s an ‘after’ photo?

As a self confessed Marathon Supreme fan boy Ive finally admitted defeat in easily laying my hands on them for daily commuting duties.

A recent bike swap required mudguard removal and the discovery that my rear is fairly cut up though not punctured.

I’ve read the last few pages and started taking notes but probably just ended up more confused. I’d been considering trying the Marathon Racer, wondered if anyone has?

Currently riding 700x32 but could do with coming down slightly in size for mudguard clearance on new frame.

Seiko Sunday.

I’ve sent a dm.

That’s really quite nice, not sure I want to spoil the moment by pursuing a retail price.

Anyone have any pro 4 quick release end caps for a front hub they no longer need?

In Edinburgh so postage required.

Thanks

Ah thanks, just the news I was hoping for.

This looks like a decent deal, includes obligatory Chris king headset. In Edinburgh.

And limited progress on this one.

Non ti/stainless donor bike.

Yeh I’ll have a butchers at what comes out before buying new.

Heating the rotors up with a blow torch/heat gun has also been suggested so will try both, I possibly have an old set of rotors anyway so have that to fall back on.
Faffed around for half an hour earlier and failed with nearly everything I tried.
Realising the rear wheel I was trying to fit wouldn’t because a 160 rotor won’t squeeze into a calliper spaced for a 140 took far longer than I care to admit…..

I’d hoped a solution like that would present itself.

Think the bike has sat unused for long periods, not sure if that or some kind of contamination is the cause but the front and rear brakes howl at a volume the horn on my van would be proud of. Hopefully a light scuff with some sandpaper will solve this?

I’ll change a couple of things to get some kind of fit and then probably ride it for a week or two.

My Cotic Escapade will become a donor of sorts, typically I’d only just finished changing everything on that but I’m fairly sure everything should fit.

Only grumble with the new chariot is a notchy as F headset. I have no experience with tapered so not sure what options exist?

With thanks to @mcJ78 this arrived earlier today.

Tinkering has begun slowly but suspect it’ll pick up pace when time allows.
