OK, what does OTGABIWAT stand for?

Matthewfalle

The Delicious one that got away because I was an idiot.

She was, and still is,lovely: really pretty, really really good fun and a laugh, well clever innit. Brilliantly infectious laugh. Sigh. Well posh which is what I like.

I think she got hitched up with some nerd. I'm going to set fire to his car.

Dilemma time, two sets of carbon wheels have come up for silly money, 45mm bontrager tubs or 66mm Superstar/Reynold strike moulds clinchers, both around £200 or do I buy a car battery which is about £180....

Wheels!!!
What sort of battery is it? That's crazy money.

Car needs a type 019 AGM with a high CCA so the Bosch S5 is about the only one that matches

I agree. Blowy this evening on my 50s, though now I have a few thousand kms under my belt, I know it's only if the gusts are > 40 mph that it gets a bit dicey. Otherwise it's all about the lean and hoping that the wind doesn't stop suddenly mid-lean.

Stopped at Sigma Sport on the way home for a bottle of Squirt. Leant my bike against the counter went straight to the shelf I wanted trying not to look left or right.
Momentarily distracted by another Kinesis that was all shiny and new. Thought they were giving my dirty old bike funny looks so bought the lube and left.

Ooh, if you see a sale on or such like, can you see if they have a Sigma Sport 16:12 SDS with cadence compooter for not silly money.
Cheers, ta.

Don't know if it's any use but they have some challenge on Strava where you cycle 250km to get some offer/discount:
https://www.strava.com/challenges/sigma-sports-ride-250
Might be 1% off minimum spend £5000 or might be something useful.

I placed one of those plastic poos you used to get from joke shops on it, that looked good. Does what it needs though ill get a better frame when it dies.

I'll kill it for you.

I've already taken a mysterious chunk out the chainstay I doubt it'll last till end of this year to be honest. It's not overly flexy despite my bunny hops wheelies and piling on weight.
I started a little pot to put money into a new frame set so I'll keep an eye open later in the year

As you're that way could you pop into Melbourne and run someone over for me?

Sure. Happy to help.

Great, he's called Jason should make him easy to find. He seems to be permanently drunk and/or stoned so should be easy to blame him for the 'accident'.

Hmmmm, to narrow it down, I’m looking for a bloke called Jason, who seems permanently drunk or stoned.


You’ve not been to Australia, have you? Using that criteria, it’ll be genocide in Victoria.

Do you know Sigma Sport the shop in Hampton Wick is a different company to Sigma Sport the German manufacturer of cycle computers?

He likes AC/DC and thinks he knows everything if that helps.
