Does it work?

be prepared to be underwhelmed....
(be amazing the did it for the price then.. (£100 in 1980, other cost £299+ or it was a kit to solder yourself.. )

my dad had a part share in one. it'll worth a bit now - where ever it got to.? !(they were o ly so many made).
I remember plugged into TV
- it could either process code
or
- do video output.

but not both together... :shock:

Do moving graphics? :lol::lol: :lol: #geekflashback

5 days shipping from Toulouse, It seem I have purchase one of the last Magura T25 wrench tools on the interweb. it stores in the front through axle. North wind witness the O ring quick release feature on the North Lakes meander.. postage Was the same as the tool cost but the tool cost cheaper than tredz, who were out of stock...
it shipped with more paper work than I've ever seen, doubled overall weight.. :roll: , but no duties as only cost.... £20. :-bd


(Note to self must not lose this one...)...

A 180mm One Up Components dropper for my Orbea. I already have a 150mm dropper on it but I'm sure the extra 3cm will make all the difference! :lol:

I have to highly recommend also the LOMO 5L dry bags, these are perfect for the front forks and a bargain at £4.95 each, better than £44.95 for Apidura bags.

Something for the WRT.

I know it will be counterintuitive, or at least I hope so, but when you talk to me in the Wynnstay Arms on the Friday night, I know you'll be tempted to be looking at my face, but just this once, would you mind please setting your sights a little lower??

Otherwise I'll feel I've wasted by three quid on eBay....

:cool:
