True. I've a set of Shimano 105 11-speed shifters, derailleurs and handlebars from my NeilPryde upgrade to Dura-Ace and carbon bars plus I can find a crankset from somewhere. I therefore just need a frame, and would like something 'different' ... but on a budget. Bright pink possibly. Just something so the local thieves think (if they do) "hmmm, can't flog that one easily".

There's no hurry as I can use the Cervelo for a bit.

A late 80s / early 90s Raleigh should do the trick then - their paint jobs were, erm... eyewatering... :laugh:

Lovely day today so decided on a little coastal perambulation on the Brompton and fish and chips by the sea. Days like these will be hard to come by for the rest of the year so decided to make the best of it.

I managed to avoid enquiring about the '80s 531 framed Claude Butler that was sitting outside the second hand shop but it took a lot of willpower 😇
 
Oh, and for the folks that don't tend to putter about in the hobbies sub forum and are wondering what I'm on about, here's where I've got to with the above-the-waterline part of my Higman Superstox build...

My comments on ferry congestion appear to be no exaggeration if further FB comments are to be believed.
The first 2 ferries on to the island had to travel empty as there was nowhere for cars coming over to go until the bourach of rally traffic was got under some sort of control to allow them to get off the ferry.
The queue on the main road is described as being dangerous as traffic not going to the ferry had to risk meeting traffic going the other way with the road not being wide enough to cope.
To compound problems the ferries doing a shuttle service have to stop running as crew have exceeded their permitted working hours. Cars therefore left still queuing.
An armoured car would not work but a bulldozer seems most appropriate.
