I've been thinking about buying a bike stand to do work on the bike when I suddenly realised I had all the bits I needed to make a better one. I screwed a couple of pulleys into the ceiling joists of the kitchen and simply hoisted the bike up - attached to the seatpost and the front of the top...

It wasn't there at all, until I allowed the whole page's scripts to run. I use Firefox and NoScript, which filters out all that crap nicely.

Oh, please.

33kV would certainly cure anyone of the need for speed! :)

The worst drivers around here - by 'worst' I mean speeding along recklessly - are the school-run mums. Ironic, eh?

It's quite simple - all the bike dealers with their 'off-road' buttons are seeking customers in Scotland, where there is no law of trespass as commonly understood in England. So much more civilised, I always thought.

That's what I meant, in a roundabout way. Landowner not allowed to shoot within 50ft (or so) of a highway, motorists not allowed to go further than that off a highway. A neat synchronicity that avoids landowner shootings of picnickers and e-bikers :)

It's probably something to do with the permitted use of a shotgun :)

If we can get back to the topic of the thread and not this endless mince about other unrelated rubbish... I'm surprised there hasn't been a fatal accident yet with the bikes and kits supplied with the IEC connector. I was horrified to find my kit had such fitted to it and it was the first thing...

I miss McKechnies rolls and Lorne sausages.

I fitted a reconned set of Marzocchi Bombers to the front of my elderly Claud Butler and was impressed with the immediate difference in comfort. That, allied with the Fat Arse sprung saddle, makes riding around the pothole-strewn and badly-repaired backroads around here a pleasure. Horses for...

Nice bike, Jon. I find it utterly incredible that the HR dept would attempt to stick its nose into your purchase and actively dissuade you from your plan. How effing dare they? They wouldn't have raised a peep if you'd spent the exact same money on a old car, would they? No, of course not. I...

Here in Ireland, the Customs catch the larger items, so a hub/wheel combo caught their attentions. A bit of a buggre on top of the shipping cost, but all in, it was still acceptable. Small items from HK/Taiwan/China don't get noticed, but I've a feeling they will be out to collect as much as...

Excellent ride by the look of it. I recall the old track bed from walking along it years ago, long before it became an official walkway/cyclepath. I used to spend a lot of time at Lochearnhead, getting drunk and bopping around :)

Hey, what do you mean, England? Last I looked, the UK included other places.

Hope it's back to the old style soon.

I used exactly that technique for my steel frame, but I'd be dubious about doing it to an aluminium one - an uneasy feeling about cracking or overly stressing it. Steel is much more forgiving.

Wedding? What wedding? Nothing happening here :)
