Well make sure it has the same diameter seat tube, 'cos I'm not sure we're ever going to be able to dig that saddle back out of your @rse.

Want to swop bikes then? Am sure my one is a much better fit for you, and more aggressive too... However, am keeping my Dura-Ace parts... i dont want your lower ranking substitues... hehehe

Foolish? Foolish? Nay. Foolish was our chasing a roadie who had the audacity to be infront of us through rolling hills. Not only was he considerably fresher (and possibly fitter) than either of us, he was also going a different way.
Plus points to ILB for scalping him on the first climb. Minus points for me, as not only did it take considerably longer to catch them both, I had to celebrate finally pulling infront by announcing 'turning round!' then swinging back down the hill to track back a few miles.
Oops.

Lol. It was 2:45 in the morning, I was already running late, and was trying to reliably mount the little Pentax on a convex carbon bottom bracket. I knew it had all gone a bit wrong when the camera started taking, as by then, I should have been on the road
Mind you, it held on. As the footage progresses, you'll see first the right crank, then the chain, then the left crank all come into shot. Did get a bit wobbly there.

Hahahaha! I done that with Aperitif and MacB when I saw a 15% downhill sign I little while ago, Houghtons Hill I think it was.. We all know what am like downhill.. I finally stopped when I looked back and couldnt see them anymore and after drying my eyes out from the windrush.. I was waiting for about 5 mins before Ape caught up and told me the bad news... great fun though!

fitter? fitter than us? i dont think so, having done only half what we had done up to then and less than 10 miles from home, plus having drafted me on the flat and then jumped off my wheel we hit a tiny incline and he called me a 'tw@t' as i accelerated back past him...
o and minus points for me for nearly taking andy out going for a turn in the road after a junction where we may have had to do something other than SOX but inevitably didnt, that was a close one - my bad

Next time you're passing Canvey tc don't hesitate to pop in for a cup of tea.
