Following on from advice I got during a professional bike fitting a few months ago...new shorter crankset bought and fitted, saddle raised, stem slammed....looks much nicer now, fingers crossed it feels as nice to ride!

Helping a Friend clear out his shed we found some stuff his dad owns. Told me I could have them if I wanted.

Love the Look of the old Repair kit cases.

That edition of Richard's Bicycle Book is the one with the canicidal advice, unless I'm mistaken.

Found the part about dogs, suggestions are very practical, if not a bit mad.

1-If you can't climb at tree, find a rock or a branch, get a pump and ram it down the dogs throat.

2-(as in the link) dash a small dogs brains out.

3-Tangle and strangle the dog with your bike.

4-Kicks to the genitals and ribs.

5- If worst comes to worse, ram your whole arm down its throat, because better the arm than your throat.

He does suggest non violent ways first though, these are last resorts.

If only it was a 60cm frame, I'd be having an awful crisis right now :rolleyes:

Shame you couldn't get comfortable on it, best of luck with the sale!

You, sir, are mental!

I'm glad one of us has a keen eye for detail anyway...can you imagine what it would have looked like if I had put it on?
