GP 5000 – consumer test – I’ve been tyre shopping
Evans: £60 each (size, 23, only confirmed at checkout – £5 delivery disappears if you buy two)
Probikeit: £78 for a pair, free delivery – pretty fast, from past experience
PS In the end, I ordered something else from Mantel – that was Thursday and it’s being delivered today, Tuesday; cheaper, even with £10 delivery. I hope there isn’t a nasty shock waiting for me with some unseen customs surcharge.
Holding up white van man –
Holding up white van man – grafter, “fella’s got to earn a living” – for just 8 seconds is something society takes a dim view of in Liz Truss’s Desperation Britain, it’s tantamount to being anti-growth – you wouldn’t want to be anti-growth, would you?
Slater & Gordon are likely
Slater & Gordon are likely your guys. I’m looking at my copy of Cycle magazine and the advert for the CUK incident line service is similar to what I describe below – provided by Fletchers solicitors of Southport. 0330 107 1789.
The evidence from the witness is vital.
I got a non-specialist no win, no fee firm through my house insurance legal helpline (what a sham, charging you for access to a referral service, but that’s another story.)
When I was knocked off, I kept my broken bike for months in case it was needed in evidence. You may need to get yours valued for replacement purposes.
Keep a record of how you are inconvenienced, in pain and suffering loss as a result of his carelessness. I had an ankle sprain and was assessed by a private GP – maybe you should do similar? Take pictures of your bike and your wounds. Nothing broken or sprained? Keep it factual and evidenced.
I didn’t get police at the scene, but an officer came and took a statement a few days later. I still remember his voicemail to arrange this, something about getting “my version” of what happened. So there was more than one version, was there? That is, the pack of lies the driver, in tears at the scene, told the police and the truth as told by me, my bike and – thankfully – another driver. So I feel your pain 15 years later that Gramps is trying to wiggle out of it.
It would be satisfying for this family to know about this, assuming they’re not as bad as him. Forget about revenge and shaming – I’m sorry to say.
The haggling went on for several months – you’re just in a rather scuzzy tussle with his insurance trying to deny and minimise, you trying to collect.
Your posted account isn’t very clear what happened – write it down now, as though you were making a police statement. Good luck!

Ian, that is a bike after my own heart and looks a lot like many of mine. Nice coachlining around the lugs. Band on downtube levers, I think. Those Cyclo top tube guides are pretty old school, though.
Obviously, I run SPDs and I’d have sprung it at the back to run the gears and hubs of today.
Woods valves – come on. Front QR lever visble. 700c or 27″ I wonder?
I think I read somewhere that bottle cage mounts are cycling’s longest-lived and never deviated from standard.

It must have been very traumatic for you finding that – you shouldn’t have been poking around in their bedroom.
PS you should see the cover for the 1975 edition (of Richards Bicycke Book) – coming to a letterbox near me soon.

I had heard the same. But, I’ve already got the 1989 New Bicycle Book and the attacking dog section is in there. He’s put some more narrative around it.
I think I had a later edition than the one pictured, which is from 1979. I think I had this one:

I’ve got it on order from Ebay – my local telephone box library is going to have some interesting reading in it soon.
