DL and I are a calming and responsible influence on MEMWNS by the looks of some of you lot's previous exploits.

There has been the odd moment or two. Mostly it's been Oaky's fault   ;D

I can only but agree with this comment Ted!  ;D I'm slightly concerned where OD's hand is in that picture and there you were worrying about me...........  ::-)

Nonsense - it's quite obvious that I've been (badly) photoshopped into that last picture!

Either you are being led astray by OD or there is a lot of photoshopping going on around here. ;D

ted, has one of us Old Hands explained "The Oaky Defence" to you?  Being of a legal bent you'll appreciate it more than most.

I think joint enterprise might be the correct legal term here.

Right folks, not sure any of you are particularly interested but I thought I'd give an update on where I am with the new bike....

Frame: 2015 Croix De Fer Stainless
Wheels: Pacenti SL23 on Novatec Hubs with Sapim Strong Spokes.
 - Planning on running them tubeless with the Schwalbe 1 set up, I think
 - Decided against the Dyno Hub for now as I am happy with the Vision 1 light set up.
 - Getting them built as the Cycle Clinic give a cracking Guarantee
Headset: Hope Threadless
 - Decided to go with the hope and forego the FSA one that came with the bike. Do it once do it right and all that.
Bottom Bracket: Hope PF41 - Again spend the extra and hopefully get it right first time
Groupset:Shimano 105 5800 11 Speed
Brakes: TRP HYRD courtesy of a cracking deal with OD (OTP)
Saddle: yet to be decided but I got a loan of a Brooks Cambium C17 Carved which feels good on the commute and will get a longer run out this weekend.
Mudguards: Velo Orange Hammered, Gile Berthoud Stainless or PDW Full Metal fenders all under consideration at the moment.

Bars, seatpost and other finishing items to be decided yet but I feel like the bigger decisions are made. The wheels will be done in about 3 weeks so hopefully I might be able to break the bike out for the Flitch bikes ride.....would it be wrong to ride PBP on a new bike  ::-) :facepalm:

If the set up, contact points etc are near-as-dammit identical, then go for it. Depends if you're the sort of rider that's very sensitive to slight changes [eg, one Mr E. Merckx, obsessed and constantly tinkered with position and set up] or the type that just gets on with it, not bothered swapping to a team-mates bike mid-ride...

I just watched an awesome display from Team Sky and Froome as well as Porte, the guy is a machine and Sky nailed it today......  :thumbsup: Froome has taken a lot out of the other GC riders after that showing  ;D

Ah, that's why you're not wearing your Etixx Quickstep kit any more.

Uran and Cav been a bit disappointing so far ?

Have you got some Movistar gear as well in case Quintana or Valverde can find some time ?

Are you inferring that I'm a glory seeker.........? I have some Movistar kit to wear from my MADCC buddy Alex Dowsett, I'll try and get him to join us on a MEMWNS so you can show him your TT prowess over 20k!!!!

If he turns up on Carlos's unicycle he might be back with me.

You, a glory seeker, I hadn't even thought about it but if the cap fits...

I'll speak to Froome about becoming a brand ambassador for TRATF i'm sure he would be more than willing

He seems to have all the necessary attributes but I am not sure how much of an ale drinker he is.

Possibly more of a gold beer guy than a porter drinker.

Apparently he is partial to a Porte though  :facepalm:
