2 No. Cateye Velo 7 wired computers. Both are new, unused, but missing the handlebar mount / fork sensors. Thought they could be useful as spares for someone who's running 3-4 bikes on Velo 7's. £6.00 both, £4.00 for one (ONO) 1 Cateye Velo 5 wired computer mount. It's had six months use, computer w...

Well, have dropped into several cycle shops in the last fortnight, looking for a specific product (Nb. A He.....et). As I like to start at the cheaper end of the market, even reviewed the £5.99 stock available in discount stores, prior to looking at £100+ stock elsewhere. Halfords had a fantastic ra...

At 179 quid? Hmm...have to admit a super keen Argo's employee ordered one in for me to review at the weekend (NB. Said Argo's is only a 3-4 minute walk from the gym / home!). Had to give it a miss as the temptation to buy a bike I don't need would be strong :wink: (I'm still tempted, but keeping it...

Have to admit it'd be interesting to be a teacher and bring to various individuals there (sic) issues with spelling . Its (sic) not really approved off (sic) on the ctc forum

Hmm.....and these are now down with 50% off at £114.99 :shock: As said elsewhere at the £220.00 price (NB. Last years price, presume they're now £230?) they'd be a useful source of spare parts; at £114.99 I could see myself using it as a "scrap" winter bike, prior to removing the saddle, f...

I have another Email address for anything that needs a bit of security. + 1. Though wonder if I may have been subject to a scam last night! Have only used Amazon on perhaps two occasions, but bought a cheap MP3 player last night. It was being given away, £0.01 for the MP3, the real cost being an in...

Any views or tales? Hmm..was interested to see a cyclist sleeping "wild" in a coastal shelter three weeks ago. He/she had made the wooden slats into a bed base, quite impressive really! Only realized at the weekend that said cyclist appears to be homeless, my presumption based upon the fa...

What do you use petrol for? Have to admit I've always preferred stoves using gas or methylated spirits

Pretty sure if I went out and deliberately threw mud everywere, I'd get fined. Seems it's perfectly OK if you annoy everybody in a tractor, though. Have to admit we've two local farmers with a dirtyrecord. Neither have much of an excuse, given that their "crops" are beef cattle and sheep ...

About 6 weeks in my case. The main thing to do is nothing. Rest. Keep any exercise to things that don't involve bending forward or stretching. So walking is probably about it for now. +1. Broke a couple back on Friday 13th September :wink: While pain had gone away after 3-4 weeks, I made the mistak...

Have to admit I think we were forced as school children to wear snow trousers if it dropped below -30 (NB. Apologies, it may have been -20 :oops: ) Though my best friend from finland always seemed to find it too hot. Suppose we used to have warm spells of nearly minus 16-18 in the middle of the win...

Have to admit I'm generally positive. Aside from one local site consisting of a huge no. of turbines on an old open cast site, the other major one is on a pristine stretch of open moorland. Yet even the second one doesn't really bother me :? (Nb.There are still campaigns to dual the road below, whic...

I realize the question may have been answered, but is there a particular reason why she wishes to head over to Newbiggin? Have to admit if I was in the Morpeth area I'd either head west or north, the south and east largely being post industrial in nature. Landscape in the area isn't the most scenic,...

Evans have been making their own bikes for long enough, that I'd presume that it'd be a perfectly decent ride. I don't think Evans have ever made their own bikes. Just a bit of historical anorackism. Apologies, Evans have sold their own brand bikes for long enough...........(NB. Rather like most of...
