That CX Pure Blood looks really nice!
Wonder if they just do the frame?
I should add that I'm 6ft 3in, and the Halfords Hybrid is too short in the top tube for me.
I am currently in the lead! Defoe & Keane up front is helping.
But for how long? Its a marathon not a snickers.....
Belt Drive verey neat, we'll all want one. B)
I've heard mixed reports about Mario Vaz. He is cheap was the most consistent comment. Mercian can do the work for about 150 including a pick up and return but not inc paint.
Here's my beloved 1955 Holdsworth Road Path dressed in modern components.
I've had work completed in the past by Mario Vaz including frame alterations and re-enamelling. New braze-ons, blasting and single colour enamel to my 1978 Geoff Roberts (cyclo crosser) cost me £55.
What jokers - scaremongering people into taking out some ridiculously overpriced insurance. Get CTC/BC membership and then make sure your household contents cover is decent; I pay a hefty amount for contents with M&S for peace of mind and the extra cost of that is still less than a third of the likes of Cycleguard without the arm-long list of requirements to wiggle out of 99% of claims.
I think I know, but I don't want to guess so I've asked Holger at Fixie… will report back, unless he cuts out the middle man and posts on here direct
but of course… er, could we get in trouble for that?
Oh well, we should have thought of that before I suppose
envelope in post, can you spare me 15-20, will sprinkle liberally onto RM bikes down the depot. cheers.
sounds like and interesting idea…
What about posting pics on twitpic or something of were we have managed to stick them.
yeah, pop round
I have a Ribble that I am hoping to sell in the next month or so, but I am waiting to check for my works cycle to work to kick in to replace it.
It is probably lower spec thatn youa re looking though, it's Campag Mirage but I was plannign on selling it for around £200 so you could always upgrade.
If you are still interested in it when I get everything sorted let me know.
Since I work just round the corner, can I just pop in to your office and get some?
check out this amazing tandem my friend emily bought on ebay as a wedding present for her sister
we ran a blog on martin's video a while back: http://road.cc/content/blog/2867-no-traffic-lights-what-if
Interesting point Martin, but surely you either have them or you don't have them, but you can't half have them?
You complain about other road-users but accept the rules of the road without question. Not only should cyclists ignore lights, but pedestrians and motor traffic should ignore them too. They are an unnecessary evil. Whenever lights break down, peaceful coexistence breaks out. As soon as the lights are "working" again, the jams and hostility are back. Lights are a retrospective "cure" for the cancer of main road priority, which subverts the social order, abandons common law principles of equal rights and responsibilities, and confers superior rights on main road traffic at the expense of everyone else. Lights were introduced to interrupt the priority streams of traffic so that others could cross in relative - but not guaranteed - safety. Remove priority, and you remove the "need" for lights and the need for speed, enabling everyone to do what is natural and intrinsically safe: approach carefully, watch the road and filter, more or less in turn. Could it be that simple? It could. For more on this, google FiT Roads or my name.
I've had cause to use said third party insurance from the CTC and was most impressed.
When I rung them and enquired what the excess would be the nice lady said this: "none".
Can I have slightly less than thousands but enough for my carbon tt wheels?!
you'll get more than nine. we've got thousands of 'em
I wouldn't put any more on his hair. By the looks of it, he'll need every one he can keep in a few years!
We've nine bikes in the house in all and my sons love putting stickers on stuff, so I'll send of for some.
they're vinyl, and tenacious in their adhesive properties. so they work well on bikes...
