Here is a picture of the clarinet that I picked up it is different to my other one, it is shorter and uses the Albert system for the keys. It isn't in bad condition for one which may be one hundred years old, the case is made out of leather and was in a sad state but has cleaned up quite well.

Making me wish I hadn't sold my oboe.

It is very strange they decided to offset the spokes to one side.

True, you can see the available spoke holes are in pairs on the rim but only one side is used. I know absolutely nothing about wheelbuilding but it seems a strange idea

Ok that's enough bike chat, it's usually only fossy that does that sort of thing in here

Still waiting for the sun to come out so I can get the hosepipe out, it's not looking too promising at the minute.

So it was, that'll teach me to skim read.

They do look heavy breasts, great fun I imagine on rough ground, not so much on a hilly commute

I've been having trouble skim reading too

Oi! I was interested! I'd like to try one one day!

Grey day today! And a bit colder but not so cold I had to put my ankles away! I'm sure this seems quite warm for this time of year!

 

[potsy]

Apologies, I was forgetting there are one or two cyclists that still post in here

 

[potsy]

Wait till Potsy buys a fat bike. Leave it a couple of months and then you can have his un-used one.

Besides it would be way too big

Yeah: there's no way you'd manage to get on anything with 29" wheels.

Car is now clean, I took the opportunity between very grey skies and got it done.
Not sure which is wetter, the car, me or the kitchen floor
