Re: Christmas Gift Expenditure?
I would rather like a goat for Christmas -- much tastier than curried turkey

Re: Whats the most unusual item you have found in the road?
£125 in various notes, about fifteen years ago. Spread along the road outside a pikey site. Before you ask I didn't take them to Mr Plod, I invested the lot wisely in a variety of restaurants and bars

Re: Stiff neck and headache
Find a cycling osteopath, I know a great one in Surrey. Too many experts will dismiss cycling because 'you are all hunched up'.
Get your position checked, some better bike shops offer this service.

Re: Pashley/Evans 90th Anniversary bike

Re: compare/contrast Brompton and road bike
Many speed records were set on Moultons Quote from an earlier post
Which ones?
John Woodburn's Holyhead-London is the only one I can think of. I am sure no Road Time Trial records have been beaten on a small wheeled cycle.

Re: Road gradient signs just how do they do it?
I think it origenates from OS maps one arrow=steep, two arrows=very steep.
Mind you the OS then being a civil service department the cartographer was issued with one sheet of Letraset arrows and had to use them, so, in suffolk, short sharp hills got an arrow, whereas in yorkshire, only mountains got one or even two.

Re: Bromptom M3L
John street Cycles list a number of different conversion kits. They may well be able to advise you as to the best way to achive this.
I guess that if a two speed sprocket is available to fit the hub gear on your machine it would be fairly easy to fit the Brompton gear changer, or even a cheap changer with a hanger.

Re: Post apocalypse bikes...
I've got a feeling that bikes are the main transport in 'On the Beach'. Book by Nevile Schute, 1959 film by Stanley Kramer. Mind you it also features a Car race!

Re: frame builders near Oxford / Bristol
brake bosses need to be positioned correctly, both in height and parallel to the rim, and stuck on really well. Get an experienced builder to do the job it wont be cheap but the efficient stopping of the bike, and you, depends on those little bits of metal

Re: cattle grids
used to be a cattle grid on the 10 mile time trial course used for the WCA rally at Builth Wells. Now that was fun with tubs at 110psi, short wheel-base bike and at speed you were across it before you had time to fall off!
