Charge Single Speed http://www.chargebikes.com/products/bikes/detail2.php?id=11 Anything else worth considering for around £450 as a commuter?

Next model Luke? This is it, 1 off proto. Am going to put it on a diet but if I kill it that's it. Rear rim is safety tape on a 24/7 before I built it. Tempted to do the front but may become mesmerised.

Yeah boi, will be about. Unlikely to have been sacked by then so only free in the afternoons from say 5.

just flew in from Singapore

Just in. Impromptu Karima Francis gig at 2 venues. Sleep.

Or Lancashire hotpot. You must have something fishy on your feet

People have mentioned fruit picking. You'll meet loads of people but it's not going to be where the action is (partying etc). The Bondi area is backpacker central if you want to party. Not sure about picking up casual work there etc. Would be a pretty good base if you don't mind hanging out with mostly Brits and you could go up and down the east coast which most backpackers do. If you have enough coin i'd look into getting a cheap car and going from hostel to hostel. If you advertise at the hostels you can split costs with other travellers etc. Great way to see the place. Fuel and living is cheap compared to here. Even with the crap exchange rate your pound will stretch rather well. You're not going to get everything you ask for at the one place. Imagine if someone asked you the same question about the UK, where would you recommend?

I'm an Australian that has been here coming up to 5 yrs which then allows me to apply for a British passport. The Aus economy is picking as is engineering which i'm also qualified in. Let me know if you have any specific questions and i'll try to help. I'm in a bit of different situation as i'm here on ancestry (insert convict jokes here). Visa's require all sorts of things but are normally very unspecific. ie proof of funds has no value as such but you need to prove you can support yourself, not depend on the government. Not sure what the situation is at the moment but depending on what skill set you have you are limited to which part of the country you can settle in initially. Eg if you're a bricklayer you wouldn't be able to start in Sydney. You should be right with engineering though.

Cut it away, keep it dry and keep riding, it should toughen up and stay that way. Someone had some super glue on a ride which I used to glue a blister down and it was fine.

What's the normal meet and time? Station at 11?

... and double ended spokes to make up for the lack of holes in the hub.

Pointless in my opinion. Also, if you're going to the trouble of making something using carbon weave you'd thinkn you'd get it straight! That would drive me mad, i'd always be wondering if had twisted. Limited not only in edition...

I'll be over that way so may tag along for a bit.

The advice given assumes he has some way of holding the fork. A vice would be ideal but without this you're up against it and will need a lot of filing to get it square. Filing is faster? Hope that's a joke. I would suggest getting a headset spacer and using that to mark with a pen around the place you want to cut. Make sure your star nut is below the line you want to cut. If you have a vice put the fork horizontally. Blocks of wood are recommended so you don't mark the steerer. You can use the headset spacer as a cutting guide as well. It may be called a 'hack'saw but just go steady with long even strokes, follow the line you marked or the guide.

24/7 36H machined sidewall. Amazing with a vee, not bad with HS33. Will last a few grinds before sidewalls start bending.

Is this another ride you organise and don't show up? You don't even know when you're getting the bike. I'll be out on Saturday morning but not for long.

Does the bolt head have the plastic 'washer' on the outside? Edit: I'd probably go for drilling the head off with progressively bigger drill bits (use lots of cutting fluid) and then ezy-out the remaining bolt when the crank is off. Otherwise cut the BB shaft/cut the arm off the BB/have someone spark erode it.

plumb bob (piece of string with a weight on it) and then do some trig.

Anything is possible but it will be a custom job. A sleeve that has a female interference fit onto the top of the crown and has the same male top profile for the race would work.

Castle Park at 12

Where are you starting monsieur Burrows? Castle Park at 11?

Try posting in the rides section. There's quite a few of us out Sunday 25th.

Could be in for this. Ben if you come over bring some bits and i'll bring the folding.

Where do you ride at Cabot?
