I was looking into having a crack at the one over in Manchester but it seemed quite a faff booking stuff, might look into it again.

Seeing a Doctor is a waste of time for anything like that, stock response of "Oh well just rest it for a few weeks and see how it is". You rest it, go back and they have no idea what is actually up with you.

PS4 here, can't imagine I'll be using it as much more than a Netflix / Youtube machine until FO4 is out though. Recently blasted through The Witcher, Batman AK and Mad Max, all pretty fun.

Just got hit with a $4,000 medical bill for my son when he was born. Payed both my wife and his copay since he went into the newborn intensive care unit for a few days. Wtf. Says it's due by oct 17th. Love it

As a UK resident I don't really get the whole medical thing in the US, but what would happen if someone had a baby but was unemployed / in debt already and just couldn't pay? Would you be taken to court / car repossessed etc?

I bet those Deluxe headtubes are a nightmare to mitre the top and downtubes for. Saying that, I imagine the factory has some £1million machine that does it perfect each time.

I had Super 7X on Suzue hubs and Comp IIIs, still probably my favourite wheelset. Dunno about riding street on em but for trails they were great. I must have had the good chrome ones because they never peeled, just gradually faded.

I get bad Sinuses occasionally, a good sauna session and drinking lots of water helps temporarily if that's any use.

Specialized Crux is always a solid choice. Not particularly 'boutique' but I'd imagine they're popular for a reason.
