Cor ! Looks excellent. I hired a Barracuda in Marin years ago first time I'd tried suspension forks. Revelation on China Camp washboard. My brother in law worked in San Raphael and they seemed to get out to ride a loop in their…

Red Kite let me out on a Bianchi Mega Pro for 30 mins or so and put my pedals on it. Needless to say it was so light and fast for the time (over 12 years ago) that I bought it. But I now ride shorter more upright bikes following various fits…

Yes looks great. I'd once wondered if, when the oil runs out, club runs of enthusiasts could tow Ring and Ride charabancs down the motorways to give folks outings. I was going to say old folks but I understand that Mick Ives the great…

Opportunity to clear out a few bits not enough to populate a stall. How does it work Si???

Well said LS.

Latest from Times' campaign. Ian Austin MP a keen cyclist and fairly local to us has called for Parliamentary debate on 23 Feb. Worth making points to your MP and encouraging attendance?
Cyclists dont get this political airtime very often,…

Nice shot Steve, a study in black grey and white - only the rear light and bottle shows any other colour!

Times launches "Save our Cyclists" / Cities fit for Cycling campaign
I don't usually read anything published by Murdoch but my wife bought the Times today because there is a whole front page on Save our Cyclists campaign, two pages inside and a leader. They are launching a campaign "Cities fit for Cycling" and highlighting lorries, unsafe junctions, better cycle lanes and supporting 20mph limits in residential areas. Its prompted by an accident that has left one of their young reporters Mary Bowers in a coma. It does focus on London but good to see mainstream…See More

Ask on the Technical and Bits section of the CTC Forum - and you will get lots of advice its the sort of question that really excites some of our members and the range of expertise is amazing.
Dave Cox replied to LS's discussion 'Absolute Bollards'
They are ugly but they do slow you down which I assume is the reason. I used to go outside them when the grass was dry but you do build up speed very quickly.
Dave Cox replied to Karen Leach's discussion 'Brooks saddle - does it really need treating with special Brooks proofide?'
Many years ago we used neatsfoot oil but it was rather messy and a no no for ordinary or light coloured trousers! Proofhide or similar leather dressing seems to work OK. I think I've used stuff that came with some Timberland boots but it…
