Have spent ,most of the day in the shed putting up hooks for two ladders,a shelf and generally tidying and sorting some stuff out.

Also mocked up the Diamond Back frame I had plans to turn in to a Klunker/utility bike (27.5 and 700c 'guards on fa rame for 26" wheels :laugh:) to see if it will work but found out I don't have a suitable seat-post so can't really see if it''l work size wise, also need some rims, quill stem and shifter so going to cost more than I thought so still in two minds if it's worth it.

Then finished off tidying up the All Road bike that I moved the front light on.

Oh also fixed some guttering feeding one of the water butts.

Tis no good when your erection sags but it happens to us all.

How old do you have to be before that happens?

Building up from a bare frame always ends up costing more than you originally anticipated. I’ve done a few bare frame builds over the years and never made any money out of them. Enjoyed the process though!

I did an old Raleigh Royal up some years back, by the time I sourced cables, tyres, tubes, mudguards, brake blocks, bearings, grease ect ect. I could never recoup what I payed out for the bits by selling the bike as prices are so depressed at the moment. It rides really well though.

Never had the problem but on a positive note it must be a good(ish) problem when you go to those mixed naked swimming sessions.

Lots on younger men have that problem and it is the most asked question
on any nudist/skinny dip forum.
I remember a while back at a nudist swim, I was swimming to the deep end of the pool and was getting out of breath
and grabbed hold of the rail at the end, I didn't notice at first, but a female about 24/25 turned round
and she was dead gorgeous, I kid you not and we chatted away for at least 10 minutes, me I had no problems
but I remember when I got home I felt so useless as a man and vowed never to get involved with another partner :sad:
