I’ve no idea what you were referring to but I did Google Gaye Black, she looks an interesting girl in a ‘F**k off’ tee shirt holding an SG bass :-bd In reference to your post about the thrill of the chase RE: vinyl I’ve a nice story. I was searching for a copy of Television’s ‘Marquee Moon’ no luck,...

Cheery here, survived (obviously) an exciting 129 mile drive home, which was Interesting. Spent another Friday evening with my son, mainly listening to music. He’s just informed me he spent some of his Christmas money on Talking heads ‘Stop making sense’ I was so impressed I’ve accidentally bought a...

You could always pop in next time yoy attach another thing made of gaffer tape, or fix a puncture, many of cant remember what they are.....

I use gas Reg, I’m spending my evening imbibing fine wine whilst listening to some fine vinyl through a nice valve amp

Pm sent

Or even two

Who was smuggled into the palace in the front of those shoes?

Apparently they're only a 9.5 but I'm assuming that's just the back third?

I think you could be right there Stu, they look like those boots Mexicans wear for special occasions

Great condition possibly only half a dozen nights out with one of Stu,s nice carbon poles.

I don’t miss them in the slightest, 500% gear range and oval front ring feels fine.
I think it depends on fitting 1x systems to the right bike, if I had a gravel bike it would be 2x, on the Fargo 1x with a 10-50 and electronic shifting is as close to perfect as I need.

For a one off I’d just get a cheap eBay light, I had one which plugged in to a usb battery, cheap, bright and was very good quality for around £30

It’s a bit chubby, you could take a hammock and a decent tarp tent and still carry less weight.

I’m with the leave it as it is camp, there’s loads of organised Bikepacking and gravel events but only one WRT. Some people perhaps can’t see the point of no set route, what’s the point if you can’t gauge yourself against other’s performance? There’s always facebook etc for those who desperately nee...

Are you going to have to change your username now?

My daughter suggested I should start to refer to myself as "Timmy Two Dogs" ... I am seriously considering it.

Na mate yer always going to be ‘Tim Pie, super nice sheep guy’

I’ve two pairs of bike trousers, berghause packlites which have full length zips, great because you can easily put them on without taking everything off. They are good goretex stuff but still like boil in the bag. Then there is Paramo,the only trousers which I’d leave the house in knowing I couldn’t...

Cheery here! Mainly as I still have a full compliment of fingers on my right hand,I was inspecting a piling shackle when the 1" diameter spring loaded pin decided to let go dragging my index finger into the sharp edged location hole. Much hilarity ensued with myself screaming for help and not b...

Hi Tony, I ran hub gears for many years, first an alphine then a rohloff on my bigdummy. After thousands of miles on the BD (including a jogle) I moved the hub onto my ECR, like yours it was faultless throughout. When I got my Fargo it was a bit of a shock, the biggest one was not being able to shif...

I feel it would be unjust to focus entirely on knob gags, so https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZWbwbEXgS._AC_SX450_.jpg *probably the only thing that could stop Mike eating **I especially like this one as if you pull it up, you cease to be the gimp in the cellar and are transformed into a clown...

Bit of a youthful revival at BDS mansions, the recent addition of a record deck to the west wing and subsequent wallet emptying experience of buying vinyl again means I’ve gone retro, Clash- London calling, Jam- setting sons and now some Stranglers…..

Arhhhh (g) I remember tubes, bloody horrible things. I think it’s just you and Reg left.
I think my record was 14 punctures on one ride just after they cut the hedges on the cut.

Mild everywhere? When I was in my mid 20’s I worked in an interesting pub, it was run by two gay blokes and possibly by the local hells angles wannabe’s, ‘‘twas also the best music venue for miles. One Saturday night my mates were rocking the place with a Pogues covers band, it’s was absolute mayhem...

Cheery at BDS mansions, have a copious supply of ‘Christmas’ IPA,s and exotic porters on tap, Fela Kuti is playing (can’t knock an artist who has an image of a horned Thatcher on his album cover) AND the postie dropped off a large parcel containing a rather nice turntable

Precooked sausages, transport them in one of those tiny one egg frying pans with a little melted butter ( put it in the fridge to harden, it will say hard during cold weather) while the sausages are re-heating on your alcohol stove boil some water and use this to make up one packet of Idahoan instan...

John Deere tractor colours, but you must do the wheels

Porcelain rocket mr fusion, 27.2 mm fitting for the rack part, missing the original dry bag, my ex possibly has it. I’d leave well alone! It’s in camo and comes with a bivvy a month patch attached with seam grip. Probably going regret selling this as you can’t get them any more £65 posted Yes pleas...
