Re: ** The General Election Thread **
So Tom Watson is stepping down from Labour. That a big loss? He is my fave Labour guy, so IMO very sad and concerning to see him step down :( Yes it’s a real shame, he was one of the last hopes for the moderates in the party I think. The Momentum extremists seem very intolerant of any other shade o...

Re: CTC Tours LEJoG Sept 2020
I’ve done this before and would certainly recommend it. There may be flatter routes, but I’d imagine that they would miss a lot of the stunning scenery that you enjoy every day with this tour. While 65 miles per day with hills may seem daunting, you are never further than 20 miles from a cup of tea ...

Re: Pictures of your bike(s)
Here’s the latest steed. A £50 eBay special that is the cheapest bike I’ve ever bought by a long way. A 1980 Viscount Metro 3 that is in amazing condition for the year. SA 3 speed and 26” / 650A wheels. It also came with Woods valves on the inner tubes, something that I’m sticking with despite non o...

Re: Buying Advise “Smart Turbo Trainer”
Alternatively, you could get a power meter for your bike and use a standard turbo. I picked up a cheap Stages crank on eBay for mine. That way you’d have power on the road as well ( if you like that sort of thing )

Few snaps of my Metro 3 £50 eBay bargain. It’s in great condition for 39 years old.

Re: Viscount bicycles!!
Very nice, looks like an Aerospace to me. Don’t know if it’s a Sport or a Pro. Looks like it has the original “Death Fork” as well. You’d do well to check which version of fork it is before you do too many miles on it. Version 3 is generally considered safest, but it’s up to you how much you want to...

Re: Viscount bicycles!!
After years on searching, I’ve recently picked up this rather nice Metro 3 speed. Better pictures to follower.

Re: Viscount bicycles!!
Had an unofficial New York based Death Fork Rally with Triitout this afternoon. I’m on holiday in New York and he kindly let me use his Sport for a ride along Jones Beach on Long Island.

Re: Swarm of bees
Apparently they are worth good money to a bee keeper, sometimes over £100.
