Oh, go on then, seeing as you asked. She's a beautiful deep green. Last time I held a bare frame was 10 years ago. My LBS handed me a C3 frame and asked "how about this?" I fell in love. 😍

Its ok but that white paint spoils it. Can you scratch it off, like you do with a scratch card?


Seriously.......it looks beautiful and will be even better when built up.
Serious question.....does carbon not interest you ?

Do you mind. I’m a bit of a weirdo and definitely not normal!

Since this cold weather doesn’t look like letting up I have just ordered a pair of Oodie cosy pyjamas. I won’t sleep in them but they will be cosy for sitting in the evenings.

I can def vouch that Mo is a weirdo.

My alarm is set for 02:00 for the next two days.
That'll be fun.. ☃️ ☹️

The forecast here says that we can expect the apocalypse snowfall and high winds at 8pm tonight, so I am expecting to wake up to an enormous amount of the white stuff..... or maybe not.

Looks bad


According to The Mirror cities will be buried!!!

which is pretty damn bad - cities have tower blocks and churches and all that so that must be a massive amount of snow!!
