Stopped lurking and chipped in again, given DDoS attack. Thanks etc.

And for five months, been using a (Strong) 4G+ router at home. It's good for re-learning patience (but kind of works).

Yes, thick is a coax. I'm not great with the terminology.
There's less chat here about retaining a landline phone number when switching ISPs. FWIW, when I left Virgin, I ported my 0208 landline to Dial9 VoIP. It works fine, it's cheap and there are real humans doing customer support.

OK, thanks. I'll order CF, see if engineer can thread new cable through without dismantling VM fibre optic cable, but be on hand to dismantle if necessary.

I've a v basic cable question. Community Fibre now in my street and I left Virgin Media 5 months ago. I want to re-use the existing drilled hole in my wall for new cable, but would need to remove the Virgin ones beforehand. When I spoke to CF rep, they said they wouldn't dismantle another provider's cables when installing theirs - that I'd have to do it myself.
So, there's two cables; a thick fibre optic one that I can disconnect/unscrew easily enough and a thin cable, presumably the old decommissioned phone line? I can take my cable cutters to that without getting zapped, right?

Slight thread dredge, but is this still available? Sending a pm

Several sets of each kit available. 8 each I think, plus a box of random bits.
People do buy these for real money on ebay. If you're on here, have an interesting use for them, they're yours, for whatever you think they're worth (and I'll send that cash straight off to disaster emergency committee).
Located in Borehamwood, or can meet in town for a handover. Perhaps they are a bit heavy to make postage worthwhile. Thanks,

Come with original box

Barely used, a genuine size 44 (9 1/2), perfect for people with sweaty feet.
£20 delivered central or posted at cost.

Never owned a MZ (a regret that perhaps I should rectify). I'm quite jealous if you've one still running.

Touring spec.

Before I throw these out, is anyone interested in some free utility cycling reading. Issues-5 to 52 (missing 13, 14, 39). From years 2002-2016, so mercifully free of recent cycling trends.
Included are earnest discussions of front/all wheel drive systems, 'bents aplenty and options for transporting your kayak. Can deliver North/Central. Not worth posting.

Oh, and a ripped issue-2 of Road Rocket? I'd like to say I bought it for the Benelli feature but in truth, it was the MZ that turned my head.

I've enjoyed re-reading all the withering critiques (though can't get tag as not back on wheels yet).

Best wishes for speedy healing, for the both of you.

One night on an orthopaedic ward does put things in context. The other gents there on slower recovery trajectories.

Because of late-ish intervention, surgery removed lots of nice new mineralization, so extra discomfort points. Dental repairs survived anaesthetic, previously bike unharmed, so all good really. Bye.

Thanks. Just transferred to a ward where 75+ year old fellow in-mates listening to Pete Tong Friday dancetunes. Banging.

Brief report to while away waiting for an op. Three weeks ago, Borehamwood, small roundabout, drain grate maybe black ice, front wheel gone, distal radius (longitudinal) fracture and rearranged dentistry. Fracture clinic unhappy about how repair positioned, so plate and screw today. Crash was a fine advert for Uniqlo slim chinos (not my normal choice of kit). Unmarked once washed the knee-goo from them.

Curious to know what a pristine Principia will go for, hour left (too large for me):

Joining the dibs queue (3rd?) for an ATAC Alium dustcap/endcap from #10, and dibs the ATAC Aliums #15 if available, pm sent.

And another bump. If anyone has a spare endcap for an ATAC Alium sat in their toolbox? Or a tired pedal they would sell for the part. Picture of my intact pedal for ref: Thanks,

bikeparts.co.uk: spoke with them over the phone and they upgraded my delivery to make sure a new wheel arrived pronto. Never bought from them before but they were good, and cheaper. So, a quick plug.
Like the helmets btw. Colour-matched my bike circa 1990.

Collected that Trek today. It is a very good match-up, bike to rider. Thanks for the pointer.
This WTD is now sorted.

Thanks for the tip. I'll register on rb and explore.
