    Not often.
    And most threads usually remind me why when I do. There are some exceptions.

    It is to Oban :wink: , part of a spectacular 55 mile loop. I'm here for a weeks holiday.

    Very nice. I've been back in Bristol over the weekend and have picked up some old linguistic habits.

    I have some - the black ones. Couldn't get them on Campag rims without breaking the levers! They are now on my track bike and yet to be used. I do have the gumwall and black Veloflex equivalents. All perfectly aligned!

    Interesting how utterly dependent on the boat and its positioning the photo is. It's not a very interesting boat in its own right and the shot without the boat would have been deadly dull. Together though they make for something very pleasing indeed! Nice one....

    I have Vittoria Pave's on my Campag Eurus. They weren't any problem to fit.

    Thanks. I noticed the boat. Went for a better angle, saw the trees.... An example of composition.
    And I had Paves on the bike too. Go on easy to Archetype H-Son Pluses :lol:

    Open Corsa on Neutron in my case. Nightmare. Rim radius on the tyres was a few mm smaller than the Veloflex for some reason but there you go.......... That was a few years back so the current ones might actually be the correct size!

    Right, back on track. This is a perfect example of 'oh look, quick - get the camera out' and of course, with a zoom shot, no time to sit the camera on something solid (or set up a tripod if I had one) and the picture is slightly out of focus but... He's a cute little fella:
