Pft, you'd still get to see Finch, and I'll be in and out for ciggies anyway so it's no harm coming out to give you a ticket. Up to you, offers there :) Can always accept the ol' FB request so we can stop clogging up here.

Superb, my front Pro 2 which was gunmetal has now arrived back with me in black to match the rear, new bearings ordered so just got to wait for my new set of Spank rims to land and I can get my Inspired wheels rebuilt. Even better is the mystery of what colour the rims are gonna be, frame and forks could be in for a fresh powdercoating! for the summer!!

Tarty delivery managed to get here despite the snow fall, which is nice.

Also, our previously sucky and horrendously slow internet we've lived with for 4 years has been upgraded for free to fibre optic on skys behalf after us complaining that they weren't providing us with a good enough connection. Its now silly quick. Download speeds are quick and streams a doddle on 1080p/HD.
I can be using my laptop, mum using hers, her partner on his tablet and the brother online on the xbox and all of us have a decent speed internet wise, and the gameplay on the xbox doesn't lag behind, which means Jake will stop shouting at people.

Still no frame though, which sucks a little.
Removed the cutting deck from our ride on mower earlier too, so Im taking that out in the snow to have some fun on in the morning :P

Lol, only I could fight through a blizzard and 6ft snow drifts on the 4 mile hike to work this morning only to slip on a flat road and put myself in hospital awaiting an xray!

Why is this a happy post? Inspired can be stripped for new paint now I've an excuse not to ride it!

Had one of the managers at work who is a union rep call me earlier to let me know he's dropping off some forms so I can claim all the overtime, bank holiday pay and night rate I'm gonna lose with being off cause of broken ankle thank fook. Also blag an extra £40 a week union bonus whilst I'm off as well!

On the downside I've got to go for another xray next week and if things haven't improved I'll be in for an operation to pin my ankle back together.

Indeed, really looking forward to building it up. Really annoyed about the tyres though. Are there any other light alternatives to a 2.4" Big Betty?

fat albert :D

is that some sort of kortz, like the proto i saw in the fs a few months back? cant quite make out the name on the toptube, certainly faptastic though! any idea of the geo too while i'm pestering :P

It's a Rockman Tractor, apparently very weak and no longer in production if I'm not mistaken. But for my riding style it should be just fine.

I've called every single shop which came up with a Big Betty or Muddy Mary in Google, none have it in stock although most claim to. Absolutely pathetic. Fat Albert comes up with the same shops, might give them a call again. At least I managed to get a 2.1" Rocket Ron. Really don't want to be stuck with a 24" High Roller on the rear which weighs more than the moon.
