OLD: 1988 SM800 (originally rigid – why did I give the original fork away?!). Note the 24" rear wheel and Rollercam brake. Also the obligatory Mint Sauce stickers that came free with MBUK at some time in the mid 90s.

NEW: Jekyll 3000. Came with all sorts of bling (carbon FSA cranks, posh Crossmax SL wheels). Picked it up for less than half price (ex display bike) when the big C discontinued the Jekyll.

There's a resident's car park near my house and their young children play in it in their plastic cars while most of the adult's cars are away on commuting duties. There are loads of different plastic vehicles out there which are stashed in the corner of the car park when the other mums and dads get home. I think it's nice that the car park gets used that way during the day.

Ideally downsample it using some sort of image editing programme. If you haven't got one, you could try doing a screengrab of it by opening the pic in a window and screenprinting that window. Might have to ask someone how to do that though, cos I'm on a Mac and in Windows it's probably a long and complicated process involving the clipboard, rather than just "apple-shift-4" and then upload the file that appears on the desktop.

Change the size of the image in a programme like Preview (on Mac) or Photoshop... and save it as a new file.

If you are using Windows, fire up the Paint program (start Menu, All Programs, Accessories, Paint?) , load your image, then from the Image menu, click Stretch/Skew. In the dialog box that pops up, select the horizontal and vertical stretch percentages to the same number, say 25%, then click OK.

'97 Marin Bear Valley, rigid but does me fine for my riding. Quite a stretched out position compared to modern bikes. Occasionally I think front sus would be good as my fillings are rattling going downhill, or would be if I had any.
