30k, couple of stops to adjust saddle height, levers, rear mech needs a tweek but basically 95% there. Another ride or two and I'll ask an MF to put some handlebar tape on it.

No photos of the soloist MF?

let me get some 'tape on it then they'll be on their way - Friday if the light is suitable?

Now you have been asked for pictures does that mean you will disappear from the forum?

Nah. You're stuck with me. I'll just get some off the internet and say they are mine.

Unless you want me to, sniff sniff, go.....

Was an ok day till about an hour ago.

Did the usual stuff, nice walk this arvo and a lovely dinner at home. Message pings in from one of my very best and oldest friends to tell me her husband is in hospital after a series of minor strokes.

Feckit.

Is a juan-king joke too soon?

Nah. But given the bloke is the owner of probably the largest bit of tackle seen outside the adult movie biz, the strokes would never be minor... They used to own a holiday house not far from one of the better known clothing optional beaches in Oz, and his missus would joke nobody out there needed a watch to know the time because he was the human sundial.

He’s in his (later) 60s, always been fit and lean, squash player, and is (I think) one of the very very few people still living to have run every single Sydney City2Surf race since it started in 1971. Has had a sh!t run of luck with unrelated health issues the last couple years, and had finally been getting back to “normal”... so this setback is pretty hard.

Cheers folks for the wishes, btw.
