Be fair, they do have 100% feedback.

Sure that has been elsewhere, just can't remember where.

thats 'buyer feedback' - So he's bought an item and the seller has given him positive feedback in return. Its the only transaction he has on his account.

In any case, this bike is too close a match to my 2016 Cube Attain.

I tell you what i have been looking at though:

I'm not long back a lovely 8 mile walk up through the town then out round some of our lovely little back roads and home past the distillery.

Wish I had yer get up and go...
I have water the outside plants (ones not in sun), tidied the kitchen area.
and porridge...
my wee bimble yesterday will do until maybe tomorrow, I need to get get back to 'normal'.

I find it funny, yesterday I was just short of 1000 ft ascent yet felt I kept to what I thought relatively non hilly bits yet last out was I felt much hiller and only 200 ft more ascent, I guess the gradual rises all add up.
I might even attempt one of my old hilly runs next, that'll be fun (or not):rolleyes:

Keeps those legs moving.......

Not down here it doesn't.
Can't you get the ironing board out and use that to stand on, while you do the washing up?
Extend the legs slightly, and you'll have to balance it right. Almost as though you were catching the waves.

Enjoy the "domestics duty day", it'll help them go quicker.
Don't let management see what you said about spoiling things.

Keep moving, it makes you harder to catch/hit.

Might be the bike he's selling?

White would show every bit of dirt though. Be impossible keep it clean.

Possible, I'll give you that. However the cloud moved in overnight, and t'is now clearing.

Paddington gave up on marmalade, moving to Marmite instead. Didn't have to rush yer cuppa, with toast and homemade marmalade, did you? Refuelling stop, before restarting yer domestic duties.

Good almostevening :hello:

Out enjoying the sunny wx although it did cloud over for a bit,
thought I'd do one of my then regular runs,
at top of the road out of here, the wind was S/SW so off I headed and found at the highest spot I'd be cycling a long distance into a E headwind, not fun as most of it is exposed..
I got home and well, lets say Bob is cream crackered and isn't going to move unless it is a call for food...

Early one day, late the next...
Sunny, but the wind has removed any heat at ground level.

You had that wind at yer back on the return leg then, and downhill to boot! Did yer brakes work as well as they should?

Cream crackered and now with yer feet up, recovering. Call for food, it'll not be brought to you!!

Tomorrow, I'll arrive midday:cuppa:
The hill before I drop down faces E,
my wee legs were puckled:laugh:
Good to be out..
Brakes work but jeez, noisy noisy.
I'll put bike up on stand the morrow and check pads, might just replace rotors as well
or bike shop it:ohmy:

We'll wait and see.
Not all if the return was with wind at yer back then.
Not often the wind behind you, going downhill had me wondering if your brakes were up to the job. Normally it's against you whatever direction you take.

Bit of meths on a cloth and clean the rotors. Might stop the squeaking.

Isopropyl alcohol is the recommended cleaner I think.
