edited January 2015 in The bottom bracket
This website was down just now so I tried to do some work. I didn't like it.
Quite chilly out there this morning, but not at all unpleasant. Rode in on the new big wheeled MTB, those big rumbly tyres made it hard work but it kept me warm. Really pleased with the bike though.
For some reason my customers have finally woken up from their slumber over the festive period and I've had a load of orders land in my lap. I might have to do more of this work malarkey.
I will postpone the need to do that by making another cup of tea.

    Couldn't agree more :lol:

    It looks far too pleasant outside to be sat here at my desk, might take an extended lunch to make up for it :D

    I think that might belong to Stevo, he bought it with the bonus he gets from helping people avoid, sorry mitigate, taxes :wink:

    That's not bling enough for me. Tried to get a picture this morning, but not enough light for the phone. Might leave later tomorrow.

    yeah, i think the front and rear mech really let it down, but some people like the subtle look i guess.

    Guess who didn't change his BB. One of the reasons I rode a different bike.

    Its all the grit and salt on the road, well, I say on the road, I personally get gritted about 3 times a day at the moment thanks to Solihull Council!

    Guess who used needing a new bottom bracket to justify uppgrading the whole groupset :-)

    Excellent, good work.
    My new MTB was supposed to have the groupset transferred from the old one. Somehow it has a new XT groupset fitted. Not too sure how that happened.

    I don't help any people avoid or mitigate tax :wink:

    Anyhow, countdown to skiing is progressing - just over 3 days and counting :) This communting lark is good leg training for the slidey downhill I'll be doing later this week.

    I was going to say shareholders to relate it to people.

    Just bought Dura Ace for my S works. made me sad which I am sure shouldn't be the case.

    work was shit today like Stevo end of year shit. everyone seemed to want to email my account or call my phone. Probably because I decided to go in for 9.30.

    Stevo any space for another skier in your bag?

    You've got a point there Sa0, though I suppose what I do doesn't directly save tax for shareholders, it just increases the value of their shares. So everyone with a stock portfolio or a pension fund can say thanks to me now :P

    I've still got end of year to look forward to in about 10 weeks time :roll:

    It might be a bit of a squeeze but Swissair are very relaxed about how much stuff you put in your ski bag so you never know :wink:
