Tea? (Part 1)

[TheDoctor]

*hurls tea in all directions*

So, is the folder any good, Landers? I don't actually need one, as such, but for £60 it's almost rude not to...

 

[Landslide]

Seems OK so far. V-brakes are cheap & nasty, but effective enough. Rim join on the front wheel a bit rough, but that'll wear in.
Seatpost needs some serious swinging on the QR to stop it slipping (good thing I have a gorilla-like approach to torque in the workshop).
Pedals don't fold up, I'll give it a while, and if I think the bike's worth it I'll probably get some cheap folding ones.
The saddle supplied was going absolutely nowhere near my @rse, I've put a Flite copy on out of my spares box. Grips'll want changing too.
Overall, I'd say that if you're competent doing your own assembly/maintenance, and you're not expecting anything fantastic in terms of performance than it's a good bet (crosses fingers and hopes it doesn't collapse on the way home).

i have brought flapjack who is bringing tea??
*bangs heavy tin of homemade FJ on the table*

 

[Landslide]

Oh, and it comes with a bell!

 

[Landslide]

*Swaps mug of Tea? for flapjack*

 

[tdr1nka]

OMG we have to choose between tea or flapjacks now!!

The recession is biting hard but flapjacks are still gloriously chewy!

*hands out tea, lest we be without*

 

[Landslide]

Ooh, no-no-no-no-no!

I merely swapped a fresh mug. I've still got mine on the go!
Hows LDN?

**Brings in some fudge from Coniston.**

PHEW!

I hope London is still alright, I am still in Ireland until Sept 1st.

On Monday I took Miss tdr1nka back to her Mum for the rest of the holidays and did a 24hr turnaround and flew back to Cork.

After the calm & quiet of Ireland, South London was just all sirens and everyone rushing about.

 

[TheDoctor]

Hmmm. *ponders trip to Morrisons later*
It would be handy to have a folder...
Cheers for that Landers, very helpful.

*puts fudge on flapjack, thanks in appropriate directions*

 

[tdr1nka]

*still trying to find a Donald Campbell/fudge joke. Dammit*

 

[Arch]

Oh, and it comes with a bell!

I gather that's the law isn't it? - it must have one when sold. You're quite at liberty to take it off, however...

Tea? anyone, I just boiled the kettle for a lunchtime cuppa.

Brie and Salami sarnies today, mmmm.

Tdr1inka, I'm sure there was/is a brand of toffee called Bluebird, would that do?

 

[marinyork]

The fudge I got was actually made in Coniston. I think I did see a fudge something like Arch said branded thus in one of the clotted cream fudge boxes.

Oh dear lord, they aren't actually marketing fudge on the back of Donald Campbell are they?

I was kind of sorry when they raised Bluebird, I guess it was the families decision, but I felt she was better resting at the bottom of the water...

<pause for moment of silence to honour mad men who live and die for speed records>

Any flapjack left?

 

[TheDoctor]

Yay for lunch!
Pate sarnies, peanut butter and jam sarnies and cheese and onion crisps. I'm being well classy today, innit.
