Typical cyclist!

Andy 71

Picture the scene. Tuesday afternoon. Andy 71's department is having a team building event aboard a restaurant boat moored on the Victoria Embankment. Anyway, after a more than substantial lunch, we are in the middle of an interminable mop-up session on synergistic global stakeholder partnerships or something similar. Most of us begin to lose our attention, especially given that the on-board bar beckons.

Out of the window he spys the London Eye. What's the first thing that comes into his head?

"Is that a 32 or 36 hole hub??"

Or, "Strewth! That wheel's got no tyre on!"

...Andy, oh dear, you have now slipped beyond all help...

And what kind of gearing would you need to move something that size? Wonder if Compag do something that big?

After triking to Hereford I was said to a friend about the statue of Elgar (with bike) by Hereford cathedral, his reply ? "not much clearance on that tyre"

I think the eye is an 80 spoke hub - where can I get one?

Andy 71

Well, forget Halfrauds for a start.

Action Bikes / Evans will quote you £10,000 after thumbing for several hours through one of their glossy catalogues, but it'll take 16 months to deliver.

Finally, Dial-A-Bike on Strutton Ground will only have 78's and 82's in stock but nonetheless will be able to get you an 80 for a tenner, will deliver to your door within 8 hours, send your mum some flowers and mow your front lawn/creosote your back fence.

Can i get it with open pro rims?
