I like Rod Liddle because he hates just about everyone. And rarely apologises. Not like that Clarkson wimp.I use the 11 inch MacBook Air
I use the 11 inch MacBook Air and would recommend. It lasts for at least 10 hours a day in constant use and is reliable and solid. It’s pricey but if I get an extra year out of it in comparison to another laptop (my last Macbook lasted six years) I’ll be happy.adamthekiwi wrote:I’ve got
[quote=adamthekiwi]I’ve got both steel and Ti framed bikes – I love both of them, they’re very different; and the frame material has pretty much nothing to do with that. What affects the “feel” of a frame more than anything is the geometry and the tube profiles. Granted, different materials enable or favour different tube profiles (and geometries, for that matter) but there is a huge amount of overlap. What makes steel bikes different from titanium bikes is exactly the same as what makes one steel bike different from another steel bike, or one Ti bike different from another Ti bike.The only meaningful material considerations are that steel is easier to repair and Ti doesn’t rust. In theory, if an expert frame maker built two identical-geometry frames from each of steel and titanium, the latter would be slightly lighter, but not by much – your wallet would be significantly lighter, though, as it is harder to work and weld.
Why would it be only slightly lighter? Aren’t there significant weight savings with using Ti?
Definitely erring towards Ti
Definitely erring towards Ti now.I just checked out the Ceilo
I just checked out the Ceilo Rosso site and those frames do look very good value for money.Well, thanks!

I’m a sucker for a big chunk of bread pudding. Something about its moistness.I wonder if the bonus seconds
I wonder if the bonus seconds makes for a more exciting race when riders are close to each other in the standings.Regarding the steel v carbon
Regarding the steel v carbon convo: frustratingly an older man wandered into the room and started talking to us about the unfolding race on the telly and I lost the moment to get the inside scoop. I think it was less about the team and more about the fans of Madison Genesis (me included) who loved the idea of a competitive team on steel getting a bit miffed at the carbon introduction.If I see Mr Imlach again I’ll
If I see Mr Imlach again I’ll let him know you bought his book. I’m sure he’ll be chuffed with the four pence he makes from the sale!Olic, what do you ride? I’ll
Olic, what do you ride? I’ll look out for you.Thanks people. I will look at
Thanks people. I will look at olic’s Strava and get out to Langley and beyond. I’d never even heard of Themes Valley so that should be a good ride.Wonderful story. What a hero.

Thanks for the advice. I forgot to mention I have a Campag rear cassette which limits my options considerably.fefelarue wrote:In my
In my defence, this video was made to be played in the background on a loop at my degree show. I wanted a video for that and for Youtube, so I’m using the same one. Yes it could have been shorter, but It’s a university project, it’s meant to be a bit self-indulgent.Stop defending the points we’ve rubbished and get on with making the improvements. I think it’s a good product that could be a winner. I’d be willing to invest and I’m sure others would as well.
