Tea? (Part 3)

[stephec]

Ahh..OK..Nice
Must admit I missed a quite a bit of CC over the hols due to one thing and another. Have been thinking of the Whyte because I still have one of his original Marin bikes before he started his own brand, an East Peak full susser.. good cross country bike in its time... Can't do proper off road now, my balance is too shot for that but want a good half way point machine..

Was the East Peak one of those with the adjustable rear suspension?

I had a Alpine Trail, it was a right giggle blasting downhill on it.

Yep, had the air shock... still works well actually, was the bike I first started riding again when I started back riding after my stroke... my road bike was on 18mm's so the 60mm ones on it were a little more forgiving of my, ahem, 'weaving style'...

Just been to have a quick count of the number of tyres in the shed.

Just been to have a quick count of the number of tyres in the shed.

I find that easy...
number of bikes x2 = no of tyres. So that's umm...10

 

[classic33]

You've admitted to having beans, @scotia lass wants to test her new pressure guage, @stephec is bothered about gettin the pump in the wrong hole. So there's a bit going on, unseen.

Brox takes four. One at each corner.

No spare tyres then?

 

[IDMark2]

No spare tyres then?

No, I'm very trim at the moment.

 

[IDMark2]

Very few occasions these days where you are more than a day away from a delivery or from going off to buy a new item from a open all week store so no, I only have spares when I'm expecting to need it soon, unforeseen events involve just a change of ride for the day

 

[ScotiaLass]

I'm back!

 

[IDMark2]

I'm back!

Hope you weren't feeling the pressure too much...

 

[ScotiaLass]

Hope you weren't feeling the pressure too much...

No, I was very relaxed

 

[classic33]

I'm back!

Certain on that part?

 

[ScotiaLass]

Certain on that part?

Yup! I am definitely here.
