I've had a couple of short wheelbase recumbents i can remember, a king cycle and a flevo body turn, and a red thing i cant recall. The king was fun, but only cool to Beardy Wierdies...(🙈) https://www.recumbent.news/2021/03/02/the-godfather-of-recumbents/ The flevo was like wrestling with an...

That's right. You're guilty till proven innocent of tax non- Payment. That could cost you some money. You're innocent till proved guilty of tax evasion. That could cost you your freedom.

Hi Lee I think the 959 is a 10mm steel axle, which makes the solution easier. We have a drawer of shimano freehubs new and old and can almost always find something. First you want a visual match. Then check the fit is ok. Then you need to fit the freehub body onto the axle/cone&locknut...

How good do you think the paint is? I'll ask for a close-up as I'm tempted - mine doesn't have the chrome lugs🤔 This ought to be at least 600, but if closer inspection reveals its hammerite with a toothbrush, that might top it at 400 And we all know what a professional paint job like this would...

If you're making enough money on ebay to attract hmrc, just pay the tax - your country needs you!😉 On a positive note, ebay's requirement for proof of identity makes ebay buyers a lot more trustworthy than Facebook marketplace - loads of our customers have been "cased" by Facebook users...

Get out and enjoy the sunshine! When you can!

A ride through the lanes and woods to get to the spot for my photos of autumn: I took Tina's bike to complete the series - I wasn't going to change the tyres for a single ride, but needed a little less speed on icy leaves for sure, and bogged fast on soft ground. Nice True Temper OX soft...

Autumn in the Wye Valley... In 7 Weekly trips to Tregagle... Autumn is nearly done now, but what a beautiful season for riding😍, if you avoid slippery leaves and all that rain🤔

"Anyone declaring eBay income to HMRC?" Yes.😉

If you are on benefits you're more likely to be investigated - you might be guilty of benefit fraud as well as non-payment of taxes.

AFAIK tax is due on all income, but there's a slightly unspecified amount of sales can be argued as personal. £5000 springs to mind And a certain number of cars. If you sold 10 bikes in a year for £10,000, HMRC could easily ask for it to be added on to your income and taxed accordingly. (If...
