Keep an eye on eBay man, this was 510 with a 105 groupset, so once I flog that it'll have been just over 300 all in, bargain.

It's 56 x 56. Not sure if it was a custom, very possible due to the sloping top tube, they're usually level. Yep, Fabric saddle, it's middle width, middle padding, feels great and a good price too.

Ultegra is like one of those weird girls who is sexy in a way you can't really figure out.

It's an 853 Brian Rourke, eBay bargain.

Was hoping to get out for a long one tomorrow but it's absolutely hammering it down.

Working in a university everyone was rallying around to get everyone to vote Lib Dems on the promise of lower uni fees. They got in bed with the Tories and fucking TRIPLED them. Absolutely mind boggling.

If you're unsure just vote Labour. None of us are earning enough to be the demographic of the Conservatives.

Really? Beginnings of privatisation of the NHS, dismantling our welfare support for the most vulnerable, recession recovery only affecting the richest, no deficit targets hit, no reduction in borrowing, higher education fees, complete fuck up of the education system by Michael Gove, welfare to work programmes that have only reduced unemployment on paper and not in real life, and increasingly pandering to UKIPs far right ideologies.

I would say they have fucked us over.

Word.

Just had a good weekend in the Lakes, did all the passes over 2 days. Was an organised tour thing so pretty slow paced, regrouping after all the climbs sucked, especially when I was the first one up them all and having to wait 20mins in the freezing wind each time. 32% final climb up Hardknott was brutal, I had the legs to do it but some fucking spackers in a Range Rover were right next to me so I couldn't zig zag and had to walk the last 100m, so annoying.

Coalitions rarely express multiple viewpoints, it's just one side fucking the other with a giant strap-on for 3-4 years because they know they need the numbers in the senate/house.

Pretty much the same as the UK.
