    How about now? Put the pictures up

    Nope still nothing :(

    Apparently Thursday before 6pm. I mean, how difficult is it to get something from Belfast to Kent within a couple of hours? I blame Brexit and lazy British workers.

    https://scribecycling.co.uk/collections/carbon-disc/products/aero-wide-plus-60d-carbon-wheelset with Vader black stickers (obviously), QR hubs and Conti GP5000TL fitted by them. All I'm going to have to do is discs, cassette and the Bob's your uncle.

    They're worth more than the frameset...

    I'm excited!

    I thought it was Dildo Harding and the pingdemic causing a shortage of lorry drivers.

    I didn't write censored, I added the necessary l to Dido

    Why don't you go with a full disc at the back and Tri spokes at the front?

    That would be awesome on my Giant Contend!! Wouldn’t look out of place at all and it’s be a great excuse to get fat again so I could really look a part (got the name for it already!!)

    Frankly, I'm appalled.

    In a manner of speaking! I’d say mini-me but he’s nearly as tall as I am now so that wouldn’t work

    I know that well, but MeJr is 22 now. He was only 7 when I started on this site, and 2 or 3 when I started my EBay account!

    The poor chap had a sense of humour bypass, unfortunately they didn't tell him and he carries on in the belief he is still in posession of it. Very sad really.
