Looks great!

It didn't start that way - but I had plenty of chances to practise.
Going back nearly 20 years I can't remember if I used liquid mask or tape, or both. Sketching out the design on the 'outside' in felt tip definitely helped.

This thread takes me back to misspent teenage years mucking around with all sorts of RC cars. None were Tamiya, but I've unearthed a photo of my RC10 B3

Levy will be some kind of communist hell hole if we all start thinking as such.

And liver failure hotspot. This week 3 neighbours asked for use of our spare brown bin capacity to deal with booze bottle overspill. I’m clearly doing lockdown all wrong.

10’ pallet in a Fiat Seicento was good fun (short distance only)

Have we had this already? I’m stocking up on seashells.

Thanks! I’ll try to avoid ending up in the canal

Hi Birmingham people! Any tips on routes from New Street station to Small Heath (B10 0HJ)? I don’t know Birmingham at all but I’ve got the option of commuting this every so often. I’m assuming Bordesley roundabout is a shit-storm? Is the grand union tow path a decent surface?

The risk of accidental penis is quite high

Truth

That’s a great route. I know those bits well on foot individually, I should probably get something with knobbly tyres to enjoy it on two wheels and connect it all together.

Thread derail - Is anyone out to watch the Tour of Britain today? I’m aiming to be near the top of cowlishaw road in Romiley for when the race passes at noon, then possibly head to Deansgate for the finish.

A few seriously competitive plotholders had a ‘year off’ to give everyone else a chance, but it’s all a bit of fun. It’s an open show so you could definitely come along with an avalanche of courgettes next year.

Aha, very nice, I nearly ended up living on Ayres road a while back. We’re on Highfield Road in Levenshulme.

Thanks - those are indeed Ildi. Ours got planted late (in Mancunian greenhouse) and have only been ripening in the last few weeks, so you should still be good as long as there’s a bit more sun.

Came home with a nice selection yesterday, and won a first prize for the Crown Prince squash in the annual show. Rock ‘n Roll.

Pretty rubbish for Beat Heim, bike lost in transit

Looks like his bike has turned up

Looks like Jay Petervary is picking up where he left off last year and setting the pace 90km in. @skinny at the pointy end too

Sad news, but all credit for a great ride!

Drop bar style - but @Dangeruss had me sorted on that front too. Cheers though!

This is outstanding! So well thought out with the routing and extra rear light mounts- hope it serves you well for the 3 Peaks

Amazing - you’ve got PM

Does anyone have a cheap 110-115mm 1” alloy quill stem kicking around their parts bin - 26mm clamp? Also a pair of aero levers. A bit tatty is fine.

FFS. I hope the strategically placed milkshake advert was deliberate.

Such a fine line between stupid and clever

Look closer - the sexism is thinly veiled!

I’m just beside the tracks on the opposite side and don’t even notice the trains. There are very few freight trains on that line, so overnight it’s pretty quiet.
