Re: What did you buy today?
Rattle can of supposedly combined primer and topcoat in scarlet.
Had a new bottom bracket mount made up for the mango, so it's not going to be particularly exposed or maltreated. I'm optimistic that I can get the paint to stick well enough to protect it.
Can't do where it mates with the frame though, it's practically an interference fit.

A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.

Re: What did you buy today?
Jail Ale is the stronger version of Legend.
Brewed at the Dartmoor Brewery in Princetown ................ basically at the old railway station there.
https://www.dartmoorbrewery.co.uk
Jail is well very well thought-of locally, and there are many drinkers of it I know personally ............... but a bit too strong for me, so I prefer Legend (pronounced locally as Leg End).
4.8% Jail vs 4.4% Leg End.
If you had a poor pint of Jail, it was probably in a Wetherspoon's ......... as they buy end-dated barrels.
Wherever it was, if it was a poor pint, you should have taken it back and not blamed the brew, but the barrel and perhaps the server and establishment.

Re: What did you buy today?
Been going in there for over 30 years on and off.
One or two landlords/landladies I didn't get on with, so kept away and took my custom elsewhere.

PS:
I was fit as a flea after my Raleigh Chopper riding in 2010, and would ride a 90mile loop every week or so.
Was doing it as late as 2014 too.
Here to Okehampton and to Hatherleigh, turn left for Holsworthy, straight on and out to Bude.
Turn south towards Camelford and turn off for Davidstow and then southeast towards back home.
Get back to the village and call in at the Cornish Arms and sink two or three Otter Amber pints.
The barman was a boxer and fit and strong, but he couldn't comprehend how I could ride 90miles without a thought.
Kept away from the Rising Sun in those days.
Horrible landlord .......... or at least I didn't like him or his wife. They're still around and I see him and her sometimes ..............
Long story, don't ask.

Re: What did you buy today?
I like these old East German 4-leaf clover bicycle bells, I found someone on ebay selling some old stock ones, it came today still in it's waxed brown paper wrappings. It was made by the firm ''Tombar'' (place of manufacture -'Foreign' on the rear, which dates it) . Excellent sturdy, loud but non-agressive sounding bells, ideal for the tow-path; some of this type of bell have a curved rolled edge to the bell and don't chime as nicely as the plain edge ones, like this example.

I also received a R&K Klick-Fix receiver plate to convert a bag to a bar-bag.

I would leave myself open to a slander case - a liable case as it's written on here? - if I were to tell you!
