Done.

.none of this social media bollocks about spoil your ballot an actual vote.

Worst election i have seen in my life and i expect things will only get worse. MPs are so out of touch with reality.

Go cast a vote.

Bummer, then again a lot of specimen jars to dust off and top up.

Are you a Med student ? or other :)

The Hunterian collection is an interesting trip if your in London.

In my younger years i was a Removals person.

Oh some of the things you see and find.

Whilst packing a job and one of the blokes was clearing out the large understairs cupboard.... we heard a scream.
Assuming this was going to be more interesting than sex toys or grandads war souvenirs we didn't expect 4 human skulls looking at us in a neat row on a shelf.

The house owner had forgotten about them :) a professor of medical things, he put them to bed in the cupboard as it always caused people to scream when they walked into the house as you don't expect to find body parts on display.....

We used to find loads of porn among other interesting items that the owners should really have packed themselves :)

yes the Kiss* homage pictures :)

*for younger viewers, Kiss is a rock group from the 70's that had weird black and white makeup, the drummer was kinda cat like :)

We are into month 2 of feliway atomisers.

Cat has had a shift in behaviour and gone from shouty meowy gently punch you in the face, to having a tantrum and turning into a hissy spitty stamp my feet and spin around demanding pain.

Did leave some biscuits in his high up cave several days back. so far he stands on the bed sniffing the air and looking, but hasn't found the biscuit yet. So he's abandoned that spot.
The tantrums seem to mean "feed me NOW" or "let me out, but i don't know if i want to go out, but you can feed me first"
He's about 10 years old and not liking so much our new rural location with not so many cats about.

Do have Peregrene falcons ripping pigeons apart in the garden so maybe thats spooked him.

First thought was is that @ExTra but cat is not Patch :)

@coventry_eagle being aware of ceeway already means i am aware of their quirky system for ordering and that one does not just rock up. Also no longer near london so mail order only for me.

@Tijs i think you right, this seemed the logical place to start.

Any pointers on frame building supplies in the UK.

Aware of Ceeways.

Anywhere else the builders of the forum go to ?
We are talking bottle bosses and cable guides not full tube or lug sets. Toying with adding some extra mounts to my steel frame at home with a gas torch.

:)

Being picky about 25.4 and flat did limit the selection.

Nitto are mostly 26mm and/or don't accept bar end levers. And have bar drop.
Few others at 26mm from Profile that do accept bar ends and flat, no drop.
31.8 I don't like the centre butting and step down to standard diameter, tried a couple out but nope for me.

So the Somas, 25.4, flat/no drop, no stepped butted centre section, stack of sizes from 36cm - 44cm in silver or black.
I went for 40cm coming in at 296grams on my kitchen scales. A quick flex test and stiffer than the very old 38cm Sakae Road Champions that have been Chopped and flopped and are slightly bent.

Ordered late Thursday.
Dispatched Friday via second class Royal Mail.
Arrived today, Tuesday morning. Custom made box from recycled amazon box.

A very light weight box.
Went with Hubjub as never used them before, only wanted the bars at the moment £46 + £3.50 p&p couldn't find many stockists of Soma and Hubjub came in cheapest.

I remember the Flea lights.
Dinky USB charge inter-grated battery unit. quite ground breaking at the time.

lol's 5 gram rear lights....... solder an led to a cell and glue that on..... :)

Just looked up Blackburn lights see if the one i have is still listed. It's not and it's a double AAA battery so hefty.
The Blackburn Click is a double CR2032 and claimed weight of 20grams.

Postie has been with a very light weight box for me in the shape of handlebars :)

@zmjones_ no context though, lifted from flickr.

I reckon they are at a CX race going by the tyres and dia-compe centre pull brakes it must be getting raced :)

I will up the ante and if cutting down to glue on, and offsetting the extra weight loss but addition of glue would balance the weight back to 12g (that must be minimum weight)

But gluing to the post and losing the rubber band would have better airflow so more aero so faster :)

Cateye Wearable mini 12g :) comes with rubber loop to attach to seatpost cr2032 battery

I think us on here have just had a quick look at the site. I have looked in the past but they sell nothing of interest to me. Sure there are a few more listed as .co.uk that aren't in the uk.

Red flags are .co.uk but not in UK
A registered Eastbourne address may just be a postal/office address to have the .co.uk and UK tax reasons.
Maybe the company has changed hands if the address change of Latvia is new to you.
The blog is very active up to september 2018 then nothing for over a year.

It comes up as a secure sight on my computer and i am in the UK.
somethings not right or they have really piss poor ideas about customer service, lots of stock sold out too.

Raise a dispute with your card provider. Goods ordered, paid for, so far no delivery and attempts to contact company are being ignored. Should get a refund forced by credit card company.

An odd set up.
Uk registered office in eastbourne but contact details for Latvia.

Hopefully you paid via a protected method, start a dispute to reclaim funds. If they are ignoring you and not communicating and you have no dispatch/tracking details then claim a forced refund via the service provider you chose. Hopefully credit card....

Might brighten mine up next year.

Not much in it, Roller fork uncut is heavier than the unicrown cinelli fork, maybe 170 grams more.

Full bike 9.7kg https://www.cinelli-usa.com/cinelli-gazzetta-fixed-gear-free-wheel-bike-blue/ although this appears to be front brake only over the Rollers dual brakes.
Not much between the two.

Bored, awaiting postie, posties arrive anywhere between 10am-4pm.

Arguing with the farmers about moving the Swiss border was funny :)

Watched the jump then the Hatton Garden job, they didn't escape either :)

naa just curious of forumengers weight.

found a magazine review from early 2018 the off the peg complete bike with wide handle bars came in at 10.28kg
Seen some what appear to be low weight builds on here, just curious if anyones gone full weight weenie on a steel frameset and with the front disc brake conversions.

So 10 years ago this attempt.
