Carbon seat posts can and do snap. With that weight and potential pressure on the seat post he's taking a chance, a dangerous one. 3-4 inches isn't enough. Needs a bigger bike.

Just took another look at the pic. That set up is ridiculous.

Its similar to set ups I'd seen before, when I was club rider there were a couple of the lads who had a similar set up, I agree with you about the seat post, with that much post showing he needs more than 4 inches in the tube.

I haven't heard that album for years, I've got it on the computer somewhere.

Got it on Spotify and listening through decent ear buds - never really appreciated how good a drummer Mitch Mitchell was. MrsD keeps saying something to me. I just nod and smile.:laugh:

Chillin' out drinking Scotch and listening to Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland turned up to 11.
Feeling 15 again. :laugh:

Speaking of whisky I thought I'd get a bottle in Aldi. They do some decent single malts for the price. £16.99. Went to the specials shelf and sure enough four different malts at £16.99. One was labelled 18 year old so I grabbed the empty box, at the till the cashier trundled off got the bottle, showed me it and asked "the eighteen year old, you want it?"

My bill came up at £63! In ALDI!!!!!! Checked my receipt and the whisky was £39.99. Went back to the shelf and sure enough it said £16.99. I asked for a refund, the cashier said lots of people are making the same mistake!

End result is I have no whisky for tonight.

Speaking of ear buds, a year or so go Mrs Tenkaykev lost one of hers. We retraced her steps but it was nowhere to be found. ( she'd taken them out of her ears and thought she'd put both back in the case, but evidently not. The remaining ( left ) earbud has remained in its case in a drawer ever since. I've recently started using it as a single ear device and if you are in a relatively quiet area it works really well for listening to podcasts and still having awareness of your surroundings.

That's their mistake, not the customers.
