Sorry for the delay in posting but I had to make sure that there wasn't a clash the t'wife's Acid Zumba class.

Happily there isn't.

Church Inn
Bring lights

We'll head up the valley this week into 'nam country or perhaps have a mince about in Bomb Hole Woods.

That's the spirit. Flick the Vs at danger and show your arse to certain and hideous death.

It's on my list of things to do.

Admittedly, it's a big list.

The wheels are the wrong size! Is it a prototype of some sort? I can't see that catching on!

Wheels are standard retro 26" binners.

It's an 11" frame.

Bought it off hora because the seat tube was 4 microns too long and therefore not "chuckable" enough.

Binners, Just some shimano deore ones. It's all I can stretch to until the wife goes back to work. DJ said the lever is goosed, that's both brakes bust within 12 months.

Never run your own company. The buck always stops with you. If there's overtime it's always you that gets to do it.

Try again next week...

Harry - are you still missing next weeks ride?

If so, and providing no one has anything else planned, I will organise a ride starting and ending at The Flag in Bromley Cross (north Bolton). Any takers?
