Our extractor has a set of leaves that open when the fan is on. Rather like a camera shutter. Icon I think is the make.

I guess does not include the seat post which is for sale separately under his other items?

I was thinking of stuff that might cause spluttering , plug gap is one that sprung to mind (the spark can get weaker with increased boost iirc). Was thinking about fuel and for some unknown reason after a delay of 20 years broquet popped up. !

Has some clown stuck a broquet in the fuel system? Was a thing with Subaru way back when.

Nice :), October 1976 if I remember the date code.

The insurance are trying to get you on "betterment" I expect. Doesn't really apply in this case as a repair is needed. Whether there was a repair there before usually doesn't make much difference..... Unless you are angling for something like a complete respray for example.

I guess if you buy a new tap it comes with the wall fixture ?

I'm a rider from the 70's so that frame is on the modern side for me but I admire the quality :) italienate seat stay cluster always a sign of a very classy frame. Elegant forks finish off a really nice piece of frame building .

When people have run into me I just tell my insurance company. Then follows "release the hounds" as a claims company steps in and they try and screw as much from everybody from hire cars to body shop.

I assume they are on some sort of percentage?

Sure is an odd mix of old and new (ish) frame features. Forks don't match and doubt if the decals are correct. I don't recognise it as a Condor from my era

Mercian made frames with extended lugs but nothing Mercian springs to mind.

Give Lamona their due, the instructions explicitly say do not use silicone, seems counter intuitive but it's there in writing as I checked.

Yep, looking to get one that can have full power all zones, should be OK as it has its own circuit.

Just out of curiosity I wonder if it’s built by Kevin Sayles ?

Yep, some sort of gasket that came with it, Lamona say the silicone bead stops the glass from expanding and contracting causing it to break

Not going to get too stressed, Was going to get a new one as with more than one area on highest power reduces the power on the others.

Something I never knew about until reading on here. Going to get one that goes turbo on several areas.

On the subject of induction hobs ours cracked with quite a loud noise a couple of weeks ago

Only cheap (Lamona) but we claimed on the guarantee but it looks like the claim will be rejected as the induction job was siliconed in by the kitchen fitter

Apparently a no-no to put a small bead of silicone when fitting …

Nice :). Are the gold brakes Galli?

I'm from the era of the MKM Ultimate and doesn't look like a variant. The ultimate had the seat tube brazed in front of the BB iirc for a short rear end.

That does look insane but more from the era is "silly bikes" which was a bit later than MKM

The Sakae Ringyo LA5 chainset and Sugino black ring are deffo my 70's era though.

12 litre Black and Decker dehumidifier £79 Lidl Middle isle this week. No idea who makes them.

My Logik dehumidifier seems to work OK, a sample size of one might not be statistically significant though......

Thanks for the link. :). I feel an Xmas present in the offing. Some of the Airfix are quite cheap but I usually build Eduard....

Wow, I rode and raced in the 70's, lots of people's dream bike :)

I use a variety of gloves that are in the sales. Daughter who is a gardener uses Portwest and Tegera I think.

Yep, for 70mm shell. I was more pondering the logo.....Flying wheel / world and all that.

Off the top of my head, lipped fixed cup, thin, rifled so maybe chorus or croc d’aune . Not sure what was stamped on the axle though. Maybe a visit to velobase. Won’t let me in at the moment. Browser says issue with certificate.

Didn't know they grew in the UK :)

Urs Freuler was a tall rider in an era of compact frames. The extensions were to keep the frame / seat / cockpit combo stiff iirc.
