Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

Yes, a big GWS from me too @mcshroom - the Islay thread is above the alert for this one, so I shall wish you well on there too

Nice bike (except for the triple chainset), and a good deal.

But it's not really that much better than your current road bike. If I was getting another, I'd be going for a bigger upgrade.

Nothing wrong with a triple

 

[mcshroom]

Thanks everyone. Doing some background reading and it's not looking like this will be quick

 

[Pat "5mph"]

How did you come off? You can still type

 

[Louch]

Hope it is quick, get well soon

Riding onto a hump back bridge on my commute. I saw a car entering the other end of the bridge as I got round the wall and just went to pull left a bit so we could both get over, and either overcooked the turn, or struck my inside pedal or something. Ended up going over the bars and landed square on my upper right arm. Probably doing 18-20mph when I came off as the bridge is at the bottom of a hill. Still typing - though it's slower left handed

Sure, it's very good for going really slowly, if that's your thing...

Ouch! Sounds unpleasant. I hope things heal up nice and quickly.

Look on the bright side. The ability to type left handed on the internet is a useful skill.

Y'all just want a Focus bike now cos I made them cool.

Off next week, sadly due to house/dog sitting for a friend and the mrs being off it means no cycling

On the plus side we are viewing ANOTHER house this weekend but we both really like this one and all being well we could be all moved out by September

 

[Louch]

I'm off next week, so give me a shout if you escape the thumb and fancy some cycling

I can swing a few days off next week if you want, could show you some Midlothian bumps .
