Oh my bad...and in the bad books again with SWMBO as N+1 has grown another bike...

I've been admiring titanium frames for a while and love the idea of the low maintenance titanium frames are supposed to give, but I keep reading how the tubing can, and often does, eventually crack, which really puts me off spending over £1.5k for a bare frame. Then I discovered that Genesis have brought out a new Reynolds 931 stainless steel tubed bike fitted out with Shimano Ultegra groupset and wheels. I found a dealer close to me and they had one in stock in my size and with a bit of wheeling and dealing I managed to pick it up for a great price. Just need to change the saddle for a Prologo Scratch Pro and it will be good to go. On the scales it comes in at just under 8.5kgs so heavier than most of the bikes I have but I doubt I will notice any difference in my speed

Saw that advertised earlier today thanks Contra, just clicked the link and it's the usual crap, sign up for 3 issues for a fiver then £24.99 every 6 issues...so if you forget to cancel you're going to be out of pocket.

Why can they not make it the 3 issues then they contact you and ask if you wish to continue...

No, you sound like a smart shopper. No one is forcing them to make these deals and not allow repeated sign ups.

Took the FFRR up north, a round trip of 250 trouble free miles for my granddaughter's 4th birthday party. So when the party was about to begin I off for a cycle and some piece and quiet away from screaming toddlers

Just back from a 57 mile ride from Erskine through Greenock to Largs and up the Haylie Bray to Kilbirnie, Johnston and back to Erskine with a total of 2800 feet of climbing...Great days riding
