Sorry its taken a while to digest this terrible news and pay respects. I met Hayley a few times when she lived in Bracknell. She came over to mine to sort a few bike things several times. The first time was early after the pandemic so we stood out side my garage spannering away wearing masks in clean air. She adored my then staffy pup, and enjoyed chasing her round the garden to retrieve her stolen shoes, so she is a part of that dog. I got to see the legendary Homer bike IRL as well!

I moved to Scotland and Haley to London, but we stayed in touch, chattering away on the messages here. Hayley always gave me stickers. They got everywhere. I saw one on the garage floor up here in Scotland the other day and it made me smile.

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have
burned so very very brightly.

Perfect! Thankyou

Hi, I will take this. Will PM cheers!

Thats a lovely frame. Big fan of Singular here. 3 swifts, an OG Nevi Ti pegasus (lols), a Puffin and a Rooster down the years.

At your height, not only bar reach but also height might want to consider. Ritchey Kyotes a good consideration as one of few bars where hand position is in front of stem/bar. Also have a good sweep to be comfy.
Sam has designed the latest Singular frames following the Surly way, so they are mid way between being long enough for flat bars, high enough for drop bars.
Whatbars.com a good resource to check.

Looking forward to following this build

So does Chris Haslam on Wired.com. Need to see it really.

I can see a G-Line replacing the C-Line I keep in my campervan. My two major concerns are the weight and the increased folded size. Need to see one really.

498 a-c Krampus fork (I hope) compared to 395 normal Metah fork & 27.5 rear wheel. No idea what the geo & ride is like. That rack cant be rated to more than 15kgs tho'?

Keep being you Hayley x

This big shoe stealing girl approves

Yeah its only a 15 degree sweep on those.

Stunning bike, well done

Yup bn Race Face 30T. PM me address.

Urghh thats horrible. I was popping back on here now and again to keep up with this build and Hulsroys thread. I have a few bits and bobs can send you;

Various 104 chainrings for the M770s (Maybe Chain as well)
10 speed Deore shifter & mech, cable & SP41 outer
Pair of new SRAM Level T brakes (one lever is leaking, anyone any good at rebuilding them, actually can probably warranty them?)
All of it brand new & unfitted
Other stuff as well

Let me know. cheers

Oh thats lovely. RIP fella..

I just think British Cycling could have been much more nuanced and supportive in their communication in their ruling on how they were going to support all cyclists whilst this is being sorted out. But thats pretty obviously not how they roll. They just seem to serve themselves for the sake of medals. hmmmm.

Also there are references above on how all people are included in grass routes competitive riding. It would be good to have further insight on that, so that maybe people who are affected, who are reading this, feel less excluded and learn how they can participate.

I think everyone needs to be a bit less "Frothy" here and talk it out civilly as we are all finding our feet. The language seems to get weaponised very quickly. Sorry to point out the obvious, but I am reading this trying to get my head round it and it doesnt help. There doesnt seem to be any winners here.

British Medals, sorry British Cycling, didnt say in their announcement how many Trans-Women racers are effected, also how many Cis-Women had complained. To my mind all views need to be respected.

More tellingly they didnt say anything about how they were going to to help Trans-Women riders during this time, but I guess there are no medals in it so not really interested. Back to the original title of the thread.

Tbf I dont have a problem with golf up here in this part of Scotland. Its silly cheap to play, the course is well maintained, dog walkers and golfists are pretty chilled and work around each other. The locals all trundle past in their buggys on the way to the course. A world apart from the SE. Anyway we digress!

ha ha the golfers hate them as they quite often start cackling just as they are about to bat a ball. i quite like them for that.....

They commute from the wildlife park other side of golf course down to the river to cause mayhem amongst the local rodents. The wildlife park is long closed but the owner lets them roam as they come back every night.

Yep Laughing Kookaburras. V Noisy early doors on the lamppost out front.

I have a pair of these pesky critters causing mayhem locally in SW Scotland...

I have a box of old 700c /29 spokes, about 15 wheels worth, so let me know if Hippy cant oblige. Would need posting though, but a forum donation should cover that.

I genuinely am intrigued with an open mind on this, which why interested to see someone do it who I have followed for a while and whose work I massively respect and speaks for itself. Looking forward to see it happen.

I am not a frame builder, so have no idea if will work, without being noodly. Obvs I have been following it because it suits an application. Stayer have made it work. Bromptons work with a similar arrangement, albeit smaller leverage. Looking forward to see how it turns out. Particularly if applied to a 29er.
