Thanks for the links.

I watched Le Tour roll through Havant from the roadside. The speeds that they were going were frightening!

Nice, always good to hear from people down our way on here.

Hello all,

Thought this could be of interest, my two part interview with the chap who was responsible for bringing and organising the 5th stage of the 1994 Tour in Portsmouth. Details the hurdles of bringing such a massive operation to town whilst keep in schtum and discusses any potential legacies on a local and national level.

Rather selfishly a friend of mine decided to get married in the Dorset countryside tomorrow, so I wish everyone attending a great time.

Re: dinlo, it's a word deeply embedded down here in the Portsmouth & Southsea area. Part of everyday vocab. Sometimes simply shortened down to "din" or a bit "dinnie". Interesting about a potential Romany origin. We also really enjoy the world "squinny" down here. Anyway, this thread has been truly awesome. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to seeing the outcome.

Morning all!

Looks legit...

Honestly?...

I never met the dude but he seems like any one of my friends. Sadly I have first hand experience of losing a loved one through suicide. The destruction and soul searching it causes is colossal. My thoughts are with him and his family. I think it would be great if the appropriate person could forward this thread to his family (when they feel it is appropriate to do so), I know they will find the warm stories, candid photos and shows of love very comforting. Look out for each other and keep an eye on your loved ones.

^^ Brilliant.

I felt like I was there...

What's the Southsea connection?

Danke.

Anyone know what bag this is?

Nicely summed up DFP.

Straps received this morning, speedy! Good trader.

£20 posted to sunny Southsea? Eh eh? G'waaaaan!

Would you take £15? He who dares, etc...

Frame + Forks dude...

Saw a fair few LFGSS jerseys and caps, always nice to see the forum represented in our part of the country. How good was the weather? Freshwater hills are an utter bastard but scenic as. Great work all.

You must be new here...

Yeah and he's talkin about gettin a Leader frame now. I'm not a fan.

He can stop right there.

Lee bought Tonkin's Ellipses??? Looks severely dope.

£108.20

Got the mail, looking forward to repping mine on the mean streets of Southsea...

Ha ha, repped.

In all seriousness though, I'm 5'10" and I'm on a large frame with a 10deg stem and 30mm of spacers. I know some people will say that running 30mm of spacers is shit and you should have a pointy up stem but i've got the bars where I need em and I think it looks better this way, on this bike anyway.

Nicest Pomp on teh'web.

anyone know the forks under that paint?

enve maybe?

Looks super fun, would ride the shit out of that.

If anyone's staying in Portsmouth (might be cheaper?) give us a PM. There's myself and Charlie and a few other boys that'll be happy to show you where to get a beer on the Saturday evening.

Fo shaw.
