Will see about friday Daaaaaaave, very very skint this month, no exaggeration.

Plus I'm a bit dubious after last time, didn't (in principle) drink more than my capacity but was fookerd and next day had worst hangover in years, can't help but suspect foul play from one of, or combination of, you two buggers, particularly thee mischievous Dave!

Wot's going on then eh?

There seems to be a distinct lack of Peak's Love at the moment -  no-one's posting and we've not all ridden together since July

Aaaandy... if ye is about are we still ok for Project Octavius?  I really want to get it up here asap....

7th and 8th Si -  not sure what's planned for which day but don't suppose it matters which way round we do it?

I guess I'd prefer to do the big hill on the saturday if that suits everyone else? 

I'll be mincing down on the hardtail anyway so not too fussed about "spanking it" or being "rad doood"  etc

nah, not really. Not fair on Michaela.  The way its goes at the moment Isla doesnt go to bed unless Michalea feeds her at night, so it lumbers all the care on Michaela, so I need to be around at weeknds in the morning / do all the other stuff to be fair....

All will make sense when you have little chapmans around (RIDE LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW UNTIL THAT DAY !!!!)

lol !  yeh, looks like I'm a tight dad, not walking yet so no need for shoes

Better pic is the beast thats pulling the trailer...  went for a "proper" local ride on it last week...actually quite intresting, the big wheel at the front does take a lot of hammer out of the trail. The rear was harsh but the front was suprisingly good...  needs some flat bars TBH... and brakes that work..

Interesting looking thing Si and yeah I was surprised even at how dyl's 69er rolls really... as for rear end I guess it's always going to be fairly harsh being a small frame and hence not being able to give much er.. give..!

On the plus side it should have great acceleration.. dead handy for ladybower

Btw I know your forks are for a 29'' wheel but do whoever make em do 26''ers?

Looking to stick rigids on the commuter and save about 4lbs in weight but struggling to find anything cheap really..
