You into space and astronomy then?

So who else is on for watching Star Wars? I've been badgered by my bro in law for the past year to book tickets when it came out so going on Sunday. Also hoping to watch The Ridiculous 6 on Netflix one day this week as been looking forward to that for a while!

Wife wants running gear so sorted some stuff and surprising her with a jacket she's been begging for for weeks. Best one I think is the bike I'm building up for my Dad, it's a bit too nice though and I want to keep it for myself!

Bog standard Nexus at the moment until I see or take something I like

This would even bring me out though I'd let the side down with one of my seatless wonders If I come out you'd look like an athlete compared....

Pretty sure you can get Jitsie/Trialtech pads for Saints from Tartybikes, they'll solve your problem!

They're fitted to the wrong body there, Echo SL bodies win this contest and the Hashtagg one looks most like one of them.

Ah you mean actual chrome, I was referring to something like this (sorry for the blurry pic!)

A Freed for £400 sounds a good price, definitely worth a punt!

Won't happen, I wanted mine left raw but was told it wasn't possible whatsoever so I took it to be powdercoated chrome but after 5 attempts and the paint not taking to the frame the guy gave up (said it was the first thing he's ever had that wouldn't take the paint?!).

Awesome website, a lot of mtbers use it. I had a pair of trainers from them earlier this year.

Almost sorted all the bits for my Dad's crimbo present so hopefully get some build pics up next week. Current spec is: On One Whippet Carbon frame Exotic aluminium forks Deore/Mach1 wheelbuilds SLX cranks with Superstar N/W and XT 9 speed drivetrain MT2 brakes Just need to sort tyres/tubes and some pedals, looking like the full build is gonna come in at just under £400 and should be a pretty tidy and lightweight trail thrasher! Very happy as the brakes are brand new off a new build that cost £50 and the cranks are also pretty much spanking for the bargainous £35!

We're stuck on IE8 for the foreseeable future so no drop down menus work and the reply box is inaccessible

Still unable to do anything at work, any chance of a lo-fi skin?

They probably thought you meant trail riding as in XC!

Just watched the second half of the Salford City Notts County match and all I can say is wow. Got me thinking though as this morning my son was saying something about a man who's been helping out in his class plays football and was gonna be on the telly, wondering if he plays for Salford (seeing as it's only down the road).

Just watched this whilst flicking through my YouTube on the PS3, I now feel sad and want another Fourplay

Give me Goldfinger, Live and Let Die and You Only Live Twice any day of the week

I think he's a bit too cool for the role, all the others had that little bit of Jardo in them which makes them strangely audience pleasing if you get what I mean.

I just can't produce the desire to watch a new Bond film. The last one I tried to watch was Casino Royale but got bored about half an hour in, Daniel Craig just doesn't appeal as Bond.

Wish I could but I'm working again, missed it last year as well!

Sacked off the idea of buying my dad a brand new bike and decided to build one instead. This way I can get the spec I want which may cost a little more but will also be a bit more personal. The base is this black carbon On One Whippet, the plan is to build it up as a rigid 1x9 650b. I've already got a stem, cassette, chain and some chainrings and I've seen some new wheelbuilds on Ebay for £70. Can't wait to get it finished although I already want it for myself!

So, 6:30am this morning and I depart for the gym introducing my wife and her family to the new exhaust on the Golf......

I enjoyed Lucy, way out there but entertaining none the less!
