Can't wait to go for a Cream Tea ride to see how you go up those hills.

It just floats up them regardless of what I do. Today I even pedalled backwards up a 1-in-5 and it still flew up.

We could fix it for you...

How about this? Almost the same spot in the road, July last year. Although thinking about it there isn't much scenery here either!

Did you just pinch my commuting bike?!

Non, but Frenchie le Fraudax has good taste too.

I would have also a fixie if I lived amongst that scenery.

Unfortunately/Fortunately , depending on how you look at it I suppose, I live amongst this scenery (familiar to anyone who's done the Faccombe Haul Audax, the tarmac on the road going down the hill was applied by a plasterer)). I don't think my thighs or lungs could cope with fixed around here.

However, a Pompino just like yours in still on my N+1 wishlist though, very nice.

Seeing Monsieur P's carbon bike on here has prompted me to take a photo of the latest addition to my stable, a Trek Madone 5.5SL (2007 model).

I bought it in a sale earlier this year, but didn't get to ride it much until the last few weeks, because of the mainly crap weather up here in Yorkshire. I've put 500 miles on it now, and I'm really getting to like it. I know there are a lot of "steel is real" people on here (and I've got 3 steel bikes myself), but in my experience, every time I've bought a lighter bike, I've never regretted it!

The rest of my bikes are on this page here:

I have done that very hill numerous times onna Pomp. You could too.

Hant/Berks/etc is fine for riding fixed. Ideal, even.

Now here is a different kettle of fish.

Where does Wiltshire fit in?

Recognise this, Mr alves?

My latest n+1, acquired an hour ago from Noodley, at a bargain price. I'm planning to give it a few tweaks over the coming while, but it looks like it will be an ideal winter bike. Cheers guys.

And, before anyone says anything, I have noticed the tension in the rear mech.

Just a bit over to the left there, looking that way

Wiltshire is 1300 metres to my left in fact. Hampshire is 1800 metres to right and I'm (stuck in the middle with you?) stood in West Berkshire.

I have coughed and wheezed my way up Walbury Hill many times. Normally by half way I'm riding the equivalent of a single-speed (ie. I've got no more gears left)

Yeah but Mal left it out of his I would / wouldn't list and it is only next door.

Also - PUBLIC NOTICE
I have some new bar tape for the TCR. When I put it on tomorrow I may have to post a new picture.

My latest folly I really shoudnt have spent the money but it I was blind to the obvious ,frame was a bargain from Spa cycles they were offering 10% off which I then bludgeoned a further 10% with my ctc discount,some bits(wheels saddle stem) are from my old winter bike the groupset is veloce 9 speed which I bought in bits scouring web based sellers and forum classifieds for cheapest deals , guards a £9.99 bargain at York rally I am becoming Ti obsesive I suppose.
