    What does it anticipate them

    What does it anticipate them being made of? Some of these have the appearance of a metal badge but a perhaps impractical amount of design detail / colour.

    On a similar theme, I have occasionally daydreamed about the design of my personal team jersey, including sponsors. I concluded they’d mostly be purveyors of junk food – perhaps with a printed burrito emerging from the centre pocket.

    This really doesn’t address

    This really doesn’t address the question; I don’t know how suitable this product actually is; and it may not be to your tastes anyway but, re: touching up a bike that has a lot of stories:

    https://velo-orange.com/products/goldfinger-metallic-compound?srsltid=AfmBOoqfnVpfVPgylyVJO0qLd_ucPjngv7jHiMQPlTBDOHFIMjK5qQ2H

    “Every scratch tells a story. Goldfinger, made in the UK, lets you embrace that history instead of hiding it. Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, this metallic compound fills scrapes and scratches with a radiant gold or silver finish, turning ordinary wear into marks of character. Over time, your frame’s patina becomes a record of rides, adventures, and memories—made even more beautiful with a touch of shine.”

    Would be useful to either:

    (a) just show the whole list, with search / filtering as an option; or

    (b) variation on that theme – only show in the drop-down lists those models for which you actually hold data.

    At the moment the UI means I have to select both a make and a model, then hit search – only to find out you don’t actually have any data for the Hyundai i10 (which almost certainly won’t) or the Skoda Superb estate (which almost certainly will, and some – because they’re flippin massive).

    I recently bought a Strael

    I recently bought a Strael and seriously considered building it from a frameset, but the price difference really was marginal if you can’t / won’t do the build yourself. After allowing for labour (I was quoted £150 for the build) it was really borderline and, for me, not worth the hassle versus ordering a complete bike set up by people who work on that frame every day.

    Maybe they sped on, reassured that they should have no difficulty spotting them. Fragment, consider revising.

    But you don’t have to go to the social media site. They are embedded in the live blog so you can look / watch / read the social media content on this site. If they’re not showing for you that is probably down to your browser settings.

    Peugeot 3008 overturns in Cheriton High Street, opposite BP petrol garage, as garden wall destroyed

    So strange that a garden wall being destroyed would make an innocent passing car flip like that!

    Pet peeve – headlines using ‘as’. Just sounds to me like they’re coincidental events. “Hurricane in London as butterfly flaps its wings in Peru.”

    It’s Park Tool that sell an overpriced pizza cutter, Campagnolo sell the overpriced corkscrew. 

    If you try using the Campag corkscrew to cut a pizza you’ll conclude it’s overpriced for that too.
