    Plumbing pipes - cheap and cheerful. Ours are a little more robust than these:

    cx bike 1 - Lenny 0.

    Coming down a descent the seat post broke stabbing me in the leg and stomach. Also somehow managed to cut my hand, then tried to convince Alek that I had just lost a finger. All very dramatic but good fun.

    And you did for a second ;-)

    Jinxed ride - two snakebites and the seatpost in an hour... loads of fun though!

    I was considering shaving the derailleur off the grass beard at home.

    I've been practising my remounts. Finally I've got it right a bit better. It's been about three years since I last did a proper one.
