Flickr
I’ve just got a Flickr account.
Very impressed so far. I’ve put a flickr badge in the sidebar.

I wasn’t expecting that!
I received a letter today from Mercian Cycles.
After the trouble I was having with ParcelFarce I sent my Dave Yates to Bob Jackson instead. I rang Mercian at the time and explained that they’d lost the job not because of any problem with their restoration serviced - indeed I’m sure it’s very good.
They understood, and […]

Three Peaks 2005
I couldn’t ride this year, so I went along to snap some photos.
I didn’t want shots from the bottom of each peak - anyone can get them. So I planned to ride from the start straight to Whernside then up. Except that under Rule 15 no cyclists except competitors are allowed, and my back […]

The Yates Is Back
Bob Jackson have sent my Dave Yates back.
Not quite Anquetil Blue, but deep enough to dip your finger in.
Obligatory Sofa Shot
The next step is a full period rebuild. Long stem, head down, arse up. Maybe some skinny modern short travel forks in a few months.

Let’s hope it still fits.

All my working life I have either commuted by bike or car-shared. For the last few years especially.
It’s a shame that the economy relies on people having to commute stupid distances instead of being able to live close enough to walk to work. Living […]

12 Year Old Threadlock
Still clinging tight and holding my brake disk to my scratched spider. I’ve tried allen bolts and a long hot soak and mole grips, but they’re still not shifting.
It’s Black & Decker time…

Hope Meisters
Singletrack did an interview a couple issues back with Alan from Hope Technology where they claimed to have spares for everything I thought I’d give them a try.
The Dave Yates (as I write being shot blasted at Bob Jacksons) has a front Hope mechanical disk from ‘93 that uses a screw on spider, The spider […]

Donki Respray
After the ParcelFarce fiasco I’ve rung Bob Jackson and given them the job of respraying my Dave Yates “Swamp Donki”.
They didn’t do the Anquetil Blue that Mercian do, but they’ve offered to colour match it at no extra cost. Wahey.
I’ve rung Mercian and apologised for going to someone else. It’s not a reflection of their […]
