I thought the general consensus was Thatcher was the worst thing ever? Or was she an ultra conservative pig?

Yep, she is scum.

None of them represent me but I'm probably voting Labour.

Deffo gp4000, only good tire that doesn't get shredded in a month. Challenge are good but pricy.

That orange Fairdale road frame seemed sweet for the price.

Just got this 853 Brian Rourke and all the parts off eBay for £510, fucking bargain.

Marseille is sketchy as fuck. Fun city but keep your wits about you, especially sleeping on the beach, lot of sketchy North Africans about. There was 7 years ago anyway.

Caskets were wank, don't think I ever saw one that the threads hadn't pulled out of.

Oh I know, set up by some numpty on reddit but parts wise it looks decent for a budget build. He was arguing in favour of the bar angle lolz.

Yeah, I don't mind the forks at all, was mainly the bars, looking good now.

Enve stems look tits when matched with everything else they do. Thomson road stems are gross, need a 4 bolt one with a decent shape.

I just think they look a bit bulbous on steel frames, the clamp areas look well blobby. That and the fact they only come in one rise, if they did -11 or -17 that would be sweet.

Yeah, think I'm going for Tune on my new build. As much as I'd like the stem to match the Enve bars and forks I really don't like the look of them. Got a -17 Thomson on my current bike so may even go back down that route depending on what the bikefit dictates.

Enve stems are awful looking. Blobby positive rise lumps.

Do any local shops have a Park Tool alignment guide?

There's always the string technique too:
