Would anyone in this thread pay that?

I wouldn't, even if I was a heaps better* cyclist than I am now.

*Not difficult.

I'm sure someone would, but that begs another question - if you had 16 large to drop on a bike why would you choose an off the peg mass produced one?

It's an ugly looking bike. So it's a No from me.

I'd be scared to ride it in case it got broken on the way to the pub.
Plus there is no room or fittings for mudguards and a rack.

Hello to all.
Am I 1st ??
Phone tells me it's 11° but I don't feel it, that might just be the way I am feeling.
Day 3 of the new bathroom, should be finished this morning. He hit a snag in that some tiles broke while getting the old bath out..... that was expected. Fortunately we had some spares in the cupboard.

Good morning all.
It's a damp start to the day here, the first of 4, possibly 5 days of rain.

Same here. Milder but wetter. Can’t win. We either freeze or get wet recently.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

Rain forecast to stop around 11 am, so I'll get out and fix my sticking 5 bar gate around then. At last I can put my woodwork 'O' level to good use!

 

[Mo1959]

Walk done with a few little sprints once I got warmed up. Got caught in a brief shower but not too bad.

As reported yesterday, I have de-scaled my coffee machine 👍
I'm planning on barbering my hair to a neat 5mm soon then hoovering through the bungalow.
