Quality of frame materials

[Cyclist33]

My steel bike has air hardened 631 Reynolds steel tubes.

But I just discovered my tobacco is air cured.

So which is of higher standard? Because I am thinking even smokes are cheaper than today's bicycles.

tough question

Depends what give you the most pleasure.

I'd have to smoke something to work this one out....

A kipper?

A kipper?

That's quite ironic because I'm having left over smoked mackerel on toast for breakfast and that, too, will be air hardened.

I once found a six week old air hardened Taylor's pork pie in one of the pockets of my Belstaff motor cycle jacket.

I reckon it displaced diamond downwards on the Moh scale. I used it to crack coconuts with for several months before using it as an emergency wheel bearing replacement on my CBX550F.

What happens if you weld the baccy?

....easy really, get yourself one of these, put baccy inside, spark up, and enjoy both at same time..........

I've always found Reynolds tubing bloody difficult to light.

I've had better results with Golden Virginia.

I best steer clear of you with my Reynolds 520, i know i would walk over fire for my Ridgeback but walk over you trying to light up my steel is just a step too far

I got fed up with crap bacon from the supermarket and so at the weekend got some lovely air cured bacon from the local butcher (no water in it). Best I have had for years.
Three rashers left for daughters lunch today. Got my eye on it if she forgets and goes for the leftover pizza instead. One of the advantages of working from home.

Hhhmmm. In the interests of health should we not be chopping up our bike frames and using them for vaping?
