Every bike I get from them I take straight to the LBS to check over. The last bike had a buckled wheel they didn't notice

Maybe they have to wash out all that horrid grease the factory insist on putting in.

Just caught up with today's news.

You couldn't make it up if you tried.

@tyred how do you fancy a few lodgers, we are on our way over

Was that a dietician, which is a real qualification, or a nutritionist, which isn't?

A dietician with all the letters and blurb.

 

[Smithbat]

Don't waste your money on a dietitian. I did recently after being diagnosed with a chronic condition and all I learnt was to eat nuts after you have eaten fruit to help combat the fruit sugars
The reality of that bit of advice was £150.

Porridge or eggs for breakfast is your way forward.

Cereals are just bags of sugar in a box.

I agree about the porridge thing, if I have normal cereal or toast or something for breakfast then I snack all morning. Porridge eaten I am set until lunch.

Certainly, bring wines gums and a bottle of whiskey

I was watching an old clarinet on the bay and I am glad it made a good price for the charity. It must have rocketed towards the end.

Great looking bike

It's a bit heavier than I remembered so I will just have to get some weight lifting going.
Should fit nicely in the downstairs loo save me having to faff in the shed each morning.
The one thing I forgot to ask was how to change gear but I am sure I will sort it out.
Will bring it into work tomorrow and cycle to the office.

Have you found which vital bit the spanner-monkey at Evans missed during the build yet?

Not yet. I am sure there will be something though.

 

[Hill Wimp]

I'm planning my next little jaunt to the continent (after Mr R and I's trip to Bilbao that is)...


...from Calais to Paris via the canals.

Let us know the route when you sort it. That sounds like an ideal Hilshop trip.
Flat, water and beer.

The 3 speed changer is on the rhs and the 2 speed is on the lhs. Quite easy to work you just need to a have a quiet road and ten minutes spare time. Trish says she could work it out - so she says you'll have no problems.

I'm sure if the weather is nice when I get home it will get a spin down a quiet cycle path.
Henry could fit in the bar bag

I've got a packet of Haribo's

So have I. They are safely stashed away in a cupboard
