My bike will either be delivered this afternoon or tomorrow sometime.
I’ll either be elated or dissapointed when I do receive it. At this point in time — based on past experience — I believe the two are mutually exclusive when dealing with these people.
However, from what I understand most of …

I never got it…
Like I mentioned yesterday, my bike is apparently ready for delivery. I was supposed to get a call today so that delivery could be arranged. It’s now 16h15, so I don’t think anything is happening today. Guess I shouldn’t bother holding out hope on having it back …

So my lawyerfied uncle tells me that the council doesn’t pay out for normal potholes. Only for potholes caused by roadworks that they’ve done and not filled in (provided there’s no signage either). We’ve still sent them a letter, but I’m not holding out hope. Guess that means I’m short …

Not the sort of anniversary I’d like to celebrate. It was about this time 365 days ago that I was having my knee sutured after enjoying my collision with a car.
One wouldn’t expect this to be worthy of a blog entry; the only reason I’m really posting this it to say …

As can be expected I added a few hundred km’s of mileage this weekend, and subsequently forgot to take any photo’s when there was still daylight.
I haven’t really had much opportunity to drive other cars so I don’t have a point of reference to base my opinion on but in …

Ok, I have no idea who reads my blog. But if there are any bikers that need a pair of boots (or perhaps you know of someone that wants a pair of awesome racing boots) I’m trying to get rid of my Sidi Vertigos. They’re size 43EU (9UK; 9.5USA) and …

Here we go again… So I got my bike back yesterday and I’m shocked by the quality of service I’ve received. I don’t know what they were doing the last two months, but clearly it wasn’t much of anything, it came back in virtually the same condition that I gave …

Well it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything of significance, so I figured this post could just be an update on everything that’s happening, however long it turns out.
First things first: my bike. Yes, the thing that has been the subject of the vast majority of my posts, thoughts …

So I’ve had a lot of people ask me what frame sliders are and what their purpose is. Even the guys that are repairing my bike didn’t know exactly what they were or how to fit them. They seem to be seriously under rated and unknown in this country; goto …

This morning I went to drop off my sliders, and show them where and how to bolt them on. I’m really hoping now that they don’t make a real mess of that job. Otherwise my bike is looking pretty smart.
