Why's he giving that SRNF (Suspended road non-folder) a dowsing with the kettle?

Maybe he's using the old alternating hot & cold water shrinkage trick?

is it steam powered?

Driven by a steam powered thermo-electric motor I'll be bound

That's ingenious!

These Northern folk are full of good ideas

Do think they should call it a SRNF? Also do you think they should give me one for making up the name?

Why not

maybe a percentage of profits after tax and other deductions

you could be a wealthy man indeed if you live long enough :)

Hmmm. Why not just give me millions in cash.

I was out that night with Mike on the susser and it looks the dogs danglies. At £799 it looks bloody good value too.

Don't know what that mini wheeled road bike is all about. Brant has some strange ideas but they seem to work. Besides, he's probably forgotten more about bikes than I know so I won't question him :)

Finally someone else smart enough to use my hot water chain cleaning technique :)

It got a bit sandy so I was cleaning it. The kettle held the most water, and I expect the big pan was full of peas, and the washing up bowl full of washing up.

The mini wheeled road bike thing is something that we were offered as a complete design - a rebadging you could say, but we'll tweak it an on-one it up if we go with it for production.

Certainly with our reputation for alternative bars, I'm not letting it out with those on. I should have changed them for Mungos, but we ran out of time.

Those bars are nothing new. We fit bars like that to touring bikes all the time. I think we get ones called butterfly bars.
