I want to, but me and the mrs are volunteering at the club. Especially as I found out one of my mates is Jim Walkers step son.

I did wipe down my frame in baby oil this week though.

Enigma are not far from the inlaws....almost worth a visit...

Had my first visit to Brian Rourke's shop a month or two back - fascinating place, and an interesting bloke to talk to. Love the "pub" upstairs. Prices seemed cheaper than Mercian here in Derby, lead times were astronomical.

There's a road ride with Sean Yates too, if you're that way inclined, i'd look a bit of a ****t trying to keep up on my mtb.

Not sure, always fancied a ti ego, got my eye on the kenesis maxlight sync now. They're local so interested to see the new workshop and frame building.

You got Ti ego right? I test rode both Ti and steel a few years ago, very tidy bike.

Yeah. I've been riding it more as I'm getting comfy for BORS on it next weekend. It's awesome.... Light, balanced and very comfortable without being "floppy".

Really friendly people to deal with.
Recently bought their entry level eclipse frame, have been really pleased with it. Did a 74mile sportive few weekends back and rode like a dream, remaining comfy through to the end.

Very good bike builders as well, mine has been spot on since they swapped all parts and added a few new ones, needing no adjustments since.
Nice understated looking frames.
Build weight (if interested) is 18lbs 4ozs with ultegra, thomson finishing kit and fulcrum 3 wheels.

Was in the new premises yesterday. Nice to see Jim can get his motor in to the warehouse!

New paintshop looks excellent, and saw the Trek they'd resprayed for a lady in the flesh. Great job.

Lovely folk.
