FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast Superspeedy to Harwich 10th August

[User10571]

Sadly, my friends, you'll be doing tonight's ride without me.
For the Van Nic, the game is over.
Have a great ride.

sorry to read/see this User10571!! afaik they offer lifetime warranty for their frames? (no alternative bikes?..)

 

[TimO]

Deliberately sabotaging your own frame, just to avoid having to wait for Breakfast. That's a bit extreme User10571!

A lifetime guarantee on a frame is fine, but not a lot of use when you've only got a few hours to get a bike sorted.

So, whose next on dellzeqq's standby list?

Gah... User10571! Bollicks.... let's see how VN fare with their frame warranty.
Can't use the Bianchi then?

 

[TimO]

So, short sleeve jerseys tonight?

The coldest I've found, is 13°C, but that's forecast for London at 7am, at which point we'll be nearer Harwich, with a warmer forecast. It should probably be around 16 to 17°C for most of the night, even though it seems to be forecasting clear skies.

That's a bugger User10571.

User10571, I feel a ride on the front of the Pino is what you need. Srsly, Let me know.

Thank you. But I don't have the..... err.... whatever it is that HMQM clearly has in abundance.
F**k*t!
This has got to be more interesting than spending the evening dismantling the VN. (Can't see that happening without a few tears being shed).
Bring the Pino.
What's on the front cranks? SPD's - Or do I need to bring my Looks?
Where shall I meet you LBG or Vic?
What time?

Brilliant, that's the spirit !

Sorry to hear about the Van Nic.
As you know, I think it's one of the best proportioned bikes I've seen.
Good luck with the warranty.

Boo! to your loss. Hope VN do the right thing. And Yay! to riding with you anyway.

User10571 on the front of the Pino.

Tim won't be anywhere near the back this week.

 

[User10571]

User10571 do you need a bike while yours gets sorted? The purple Dave Yates for instance?

Thanks.
Tonight I'll be on the fixer. The Pino is unavailable - I'm ok with that.

Gatwick is currently reporting 16°C, but Heathrow has a temperature of 20°C.

It'll obviously cool down a bit before sunrise, but I suspect it's going to be a relatively mild night's ride.

That is bad news. I hope VN sort things out quickly.
