    Nostalgia Galore!

    To be fair, back in the day, the plugs were more often than not stuck on top externally. Or at least they were up here. I guess the reason was that with benotto you could start taping on top and work downwards towards the end plugs which held the taping in place.

    Thick as Thieves

    It's a piece of static artwork. Scrap this along with all the museum exhibits and save public monies then ?

    Thick as Thieves

    Surprisingly, it's got a lot of people cycling and walking to see it and also talking about something positive for a change. Don't know who's funded it though - waterways or council? Arguably everything but food, welfare and health is a public waste of money. Not sure where one draws the line.

    Thick as Thieves

    You need to see it close up But I usually make sure I'm parked next to something more desirable. If I'm doing an evening pub in town then I've either prearranged something where the bar manager will let me bring it in or I don't park it on bike stands but prefer a secluded corner behind a...

    Thick as Thieves

    It's a tourist feature on the Tinsley Canal in Sheffield ( Quite close to the Meadowhall retail centre). It's a front and rear of a barge joined with a loop. Plywood would be my guess

    Thick as Thieves

    White will look like you've nicked a ghost bike . Yellow will look like you've nicked a TdF celebration bike But, mine shown above is from tins of leftover paint - gloss and emulsion, applied with a lolly stick

    Thick as Thieves

    Same reason car manufacturers aren't making cars more difficult to steal. For everyone that's stolen, they sell another new one...... paid for by everyone else's insurance premiums

    Thick as Thieves

    To my mind, that still looks too good (and tempting) for a 'leave it in town' bike. Decent paint, nice wheels and tyres, matching pedals and grips etc Here's my effort

    Bertin ‘Course’ trying to sell

    Bertin ‘Course’ trying to sell

    You reckon? It's a Columbus Genius frame

    Sakae Royale

    Interesting if a little confusing. I've seen apex chainsets - some with a forged crank and silky anodising; and some with a pressed crank spider and less classy anodising

    ai and us

    Yeh, back to my son and his AI prophesies (for what they're worth?), he did say that because of the capabilities and speed at which AI is progressing, he envisages very few people working as we know it within the next generation. He's mid 20s, works as a software engineer and doesn't see himself...

    Thick as Thieves

    Probably more to do with getting intelligence for a shed breaking gang than looking for your bikes. Hell , maybe a prominent councillor lives in the vicinity and has pressured the local superintendent

    Sakae Royale

    SR Royal was well made and like you say, nicely coated. Standard SR was functional but rough

    Is that the same butler from On The Buses?

    ai and us

    My eldest works in IT and was trying to tell me about AI. Unfortunately for him, I'm not really into tech, so the conversation was a short one. But during that conversation, like most in here, I said that ai has no use. Fake news, a mock-up of an e-type merged with a cortina etc ..... all...

    Revelations about the past of Mauro Gianetti, Pogacar’s Manager (Radio France Investigation, Translation in post)

    The anecdote of guimard doping riders unknowingly with bottles is a bit naughty. Below the belt if I'm honest. It's one thing a rider doping with his own decision and consent but for someone else to possibly tarnish a person's reputation, career and self worth without him having any knowledge...

    Revelations about the past of Mauro Gianetti, Pogacar’s Manager (Radio France Investigation, Translation in post)

    Too long to hold my attention unfortunately. (That's not dissing your post, I just can't do it) But his chequered past is not news, it's been floating about on social media since he took charge of UAE

    Wanted Single rim or pair Mavic SSC blue NOS confition

    They were the ones for me back in the day. Although the SSC greys were a rung up, they looked too much like GP4s, whereas the blues were rarer and distinctive. Never had any though, GP4s were as far as I got
