Me neither but I did a few days ago...
I need a close up of this alleged gold chain which looked suspiciously rusty.

Fettled Austro Diamler into running condition, adding a new chain, I also added blue bar tape to match lettering. I still have to adjust shifting a bit, and add a granny gear to the front, but a 26 tooth gear in the proper bolt circle diameter is something I don't have available at present. I then went to work on the Specialized Sirrus for next weeks 100KM, changing out the wheelset and padding the trekking bars as well as adding a water bottle cage.

I like the way you've retained an air of mystery with the focus.

I fitted a pair of 'genuine' Sturmey Archer serrated wheel nut washers to my Raleigh. They crumbled the second time I did up the wheel nuts. They weren't so much made of cheese as made of stilton.

Dismantled the fixie 'beater' and boxed up loads of bits to go to my mates garage. New baby means less room for bike stuff

Tightened up the brakes on my Austro-Daimler and rode around the block. Good feel to the brakes now.

Got my bike back from Wheelies with its nice new frame. A rush of blood and a modest windfall has seen me upgrading the remaining 105 components to Ultegra and swapping out some ss bolts for titanium. Carbon bars have finished the weight weenie project. With superstar elite three zeros, ultremo tyres and without pedals, it weighed in at 7.10 kg. I've healed enough to contemplate riding it this week. Just a few gentle flat miles...... It's been five weeks since my accident!

The headset bearings on my new Giant Revolt were squeaking and wheezing when I turned the bars, so I undid the pre-load screw, loosened the stem bolts and dropped the forks enough to squirt a little WD40 branded lithium grease around & about.
All tightened up again and squeak no more !

Given the chain a clean and oil, and the bike a clean ready for my holidays. Although it looks like the heavy rain will wash it down on the roof of the car during the journey up on Saturday!
Looks to be dry after that though and so I'm hopeful of getting plenty of rides in next week
