@northerntrumpeter, delete posts 13-15 then just edit 12 to neaten it up a bit
I would if I could. I don't seem to have that option? Maybe it's because I'm still in 'the nursery' as I haven't been a member for 24 hours yet. My profile says I don't have full permissions. It sucks a little.
EDIT
I'm now out of the nursery!
:o)BTW. I can't find the right size inner tubes for those bazzing tyres I purchased from chain reaction!! Maybe that's why they were so cheap!!

Middle class things to say...
"I wonder if we can fit the 2nd / 3rd car on the drive of that lovely house"
"The house market's on the up again. Is it time to get out of 'buy to let'?"
"Is it better to live north or south of the river (Thames)?
"Should I get that 2nd / 3rd / 4th bike? I'm running out of shed space!"All the above wouldn't look out of place in one of the forums on middleclass.co.uk. However, I am posting on a cycle enthusiasts website, where we talk about frames, forks, sprockets, chains etc etc yawn....other bike websites that sell all the aforementioned! We especially refer to other websites when we spot a bazzing tyre reduced from £36.99 to £15 on our good friend of a site, Chain Reaction! We also get hacked off when we can't get our hands on that killer deal! Surly, sorry, surely that translates to all classes...upper / middle / lower / under, who would all be hacked off if the site went down. OK, maybe not the under class.
I'm obviously middle class for taking the time to compose this! lol And the fact that I’m a member of a single/fixed speeding website?
And PicKle, I'm not having a snipe at you. I'm just having a bit of fun to stretch my middle class brain ;o) I know you were simply throwing away an ironic comment. After all, this is just a message thread in cyberspace. And we don't know each other, and tapping away at a keyboard is easy for us middle class types ;oD
PS. Sorry about the personal reference. Most people won't spot it (Well, they might now?)
=;o)-<Right, I really MUST go and do something with my life! Where did I put my Rapha catalogue…

I took advantage of this offer today with the good lady wife. I started to bore her about whether or not I was going to convert to single / fixed speed. The guy at the next table overheard me and referred me to this site! I later saw him and his mrs in the cinema queue as we took advantage of 2-4-1 cinema tickets. Thank goodness for Orange Wednesdays! I might never have found this site otherwise!
I hate riding in the rain. I know we're made of water, but it's the spray that hits your face and tastes of traffic pollution. Then there's the way drivers react (or not) to your presence. Then there's the next day when you stick your wet (and now smelly) shoes back on. And it's no good as a work out either, as you have to go a lot slower to keep control. Rubbish.
