I've really been enjoying this thread. Thanks to all that have posted.

As for me, well I'm currently living over in Taipei, Taiwan. It's a lovely place to cycle, although it gets ridiculously hot/humid in summer (although I'd still take that over pissing down/freezing).

Here's a few pics from recent cycles:

Pulled the rear brake on a brand new bike at the top of a hill, just to remind myself how they felt, as I amn't used to discs. :eek:

damn

is the frame alright?

kirving · 24-08-2012 2:56pm

No, sure you'd have to remove that part (is it also called a drop out?), TIG weld the new one back in place, and repaint it all.

I posted about it here last Sunday night. Repair is out the window, and I don't want a replacement as I feel that it's a design flaw. There jsut isn't enough metal there.

I'll update the other thread I had with the name of the shop once I deal with them this evening. I know this is supposed to be a photo's thread and I don't want to bring it off topic. I'm not exactly sure what the part which broke on the frame is called. I thought it was called a drop-out, but they're what go on the right side to hold a deraileur, and can be removed, right?

Bike came with discs, but a dis will mean that the location of maximum force on the frame under braking will be changed. The design clearly isn't up to the job.

It's obvious what chainstore it is, I had the brand sussed before you revealed the answer! Interesting to see how you get on but I reckon there won't be a problem getting your money back.

It is a dropout, you're thinking of a derailleur/mech hanger.

You must have been there a while. You finished three rubix cubes and attached them to the barrier. Fair play.

The internet on my phone was slow, had to entertain myself somehow while google maps was loading.

Went on my first decent spin today. Clonee to Trim and back. Roughly 60k round trip I think.
I left the house at 8.15am and got home at 11.20am.
I stopped in Trim for a bite to eat and take photos which took about 20 mins. Quite happy with that.
Loads of people out this morning waving as they cycled by which was good encouragement.
Beautiful morning for a cycle!
