Not sure I will be here, but please put me on the list. I will be on my Roberts road fixed, which I had made for me years ago all because of this forum. I had not ridden fixed since I was 3, specced it right up from original hubjub, had no idea, and rode it back from their tiny shop to Pimlico. I did fall off on Clapham Common avoiding a mum and pram but threw myself under the bike so it was OK. The ride remains one of my finest achievements.

"holdwest" on ebay are a reliable source of 2nd hand Levis. They measure actual sizes, and I think do returns. If you research the model number for the fit you want it might be worth a try.

thank you and also rickster. I have the watch now. I think it is maybe a return as the box has been opened and it is set to BST+1, but that is fine and I have a head start. I will check out the set up link @rickster sent. As for the strap you mention, yes I would like to experiment and will and send you a pm. A friend is doing a MND charity walk this month, so I can either give her an extra few quid, or direct some £ to you or wherever you wish.

OK thanks on both counts

I am collecting a G-Shock 5610U from Argos later today. I know I am not great at setting up such things. In order to avoid annoying myself, can anyone recommend the easiest internet guide.

Also, I think I read on here about an aftermarket strap which is more comfortable/less sweaty, but can't find the conversation. Any help? thank you.

I just double checked - £12 post. 2 x 1kg house espresso, same shipment and address. Not complaining, just for info.

I ordered 2x1kg bags for me and a friend, thinking it might save some post, but it was 2x£6= £12. Nice packaging and coffee.

26-28mm, recreational riding, quite comfy, quite robust, foldable (need to take in plane hand luggage). Anyone got anything? Am in Lewes area. thanks

are any of your stem bags available? I would quite like No 1. please send me a pm thanks

impressive times on here. I used to do the Serpentine Last Friday of the Month lunchtime 5ks round Hyde Park. There were 2 waves - sub or plus 21. I either joined the deluded at the back of the first wave, or the aspirational at the front of the second. It was less crowded.

OK thanks, will read up asap

I am interested in this, I remember there was chat on here - is the any adverse issue with it being an import?

If my girlfriend gave me a pretty Bialetti I would be very wary about using something uglier to save a tiny bit of faff.

I had a 2011 1.2 Se Jazz for a few years until moocher bought it and sadly someone drove into it. the engine only had about 8o bhp or something but it was fine and only needed consumables for 6+ years. If you were loading it with 4 adults it would struggle, but otherwise copes well. If you take off the front wheel you can put a bike sideways behind the front seats and the boot is still all yours. It did c48mpg on short runs, and c57 on longer runs if you drove it carefully, but why would you do anything else. They keep their value well which tells you what you need to know.

I never thought of using an old brush to clean the keyboard, excellent upcycling. I have been wrapping a cleaning tissue round a ruler (for the keyboard).

good enough thanks

which are the fruity bangers you enjoyed please as I am about to order another bag from JGC

interested, will do a quick bit of research and send a pm.

Peugeot Rifter

After a knee injury I got an eMTB for "pre-hab and re-hab" about 6 years ago. If you are compromised by injury/age/health, an ebike almost makes those compromises go away. Magic.

Now my knee is repaired, I still use the ebike a lot. You can enjoy the trendy "Zone 2 only" rides out and about in the undulating countryside, instead of on a trainer.

Sorry, the Uniqlo jacket has gone.

fair point, sorry

thanks - I did try to engage without success. They wanted photos to prove non-delivery, so I sent some holiday snaps then flounced.

Just once with AliEx - £100 down is the c£35 stolen by them, plus c£65 for the C2 now on permanent loan to my daughter (she is using a Hario v60 set somebody kindly sold to me on here). I have a basic Sage electric at home, but "need" a quite nice hand grinder when I am away.
@branwen - please pm me with what you would like for the P1

2 things. With the James "Experimental" I used more coffee in my V60 and it has gone from not very nice at all (astringent?) to very enjoyable. So my fault. I think I need to be much more accurate with coffee that is not just basic espresso blend.

Second, my daughter has taken my Timemore C2. I am pleased she is taking an interest. Aliexpress took my money but failed to deliver a new one. I am about £100 down and no hand grinder. So has anyone got a grinder of similar or above quality they want to move on? 30mg capacity is OK and no need for espresso grind.
