Howdo, I hope this is ok, I don't use social media really. I'm running a marathon on Sunday coming and wondered if any of you kind folks might like to sponsor me! All the best, https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/KENNY-CHRISTIE40?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=20170516_94475

Its a 2012 model, barely used and extensively upgraded. I would hope that's apparent from the photos.I'm only selling it as I have my eye on something else. The condition is testament to how often its been used. Its immaculate throughout.

I've only ever used it with a 10 speed cassette, so cannot confirm 11speed compatibility the narrower profile may well work.

I had some success with a body paint skin suit a couple of years ago. It cost way too much to perforate with rusty drawing pins so I took my cue from a historic JWCC skinsuit which had tabs of lycra on the tail for number application. I sacrificed some old armwarmers and with a shaky hand I stitched some lycra tabs onto my eyewateringly expensive skinsuit. The tabs were outwith the standard number size to accommodate a stretch when in the tucked position. There's loads of 'give' in lycra. It worked rather well.

Important point, dont queue at the start, just steam right down to the front. We made that mistake before! Do wear mitts, (as someone who never wears them, but suffered the blisters after the Flanders) make sure you're Garmin is reinforced with insulating tape, do bend your bottle cages so they grip extra tight and ensure tyres are inflated to 100 psi max. These are just some pointers, nothing can prepare you for the Bergs. I like to think I could enjoy a pint after most bike rides but after completing the Tour Of Flanders I had something to eat, a pint then went to my bed. #everyone else went out on the lash.... Enjoy!

Howdo, I realise this section of the board is for members only but I had hoped that as a past member I might be permitted to put my bike up for sale.

The perfect winter bike. In excellent condition, fitted with full guards and upgraded Ambrosio wheels. From the pics you will see it has been used rarely. Its one of four fixed wheel bikes so space is becoming an issue. £300 postage at cost.

Mark, If you are short of a Marshall I'd be glad to help out to let members ride.

No worries Charlie.

Bit of a clearout at Christie Towers the following are surplus and available for the princely sum of £20 each or £35 if you buy them both. Fit is for 38-40 chest.

Cheers guys. Kenny, I'm after a new Cotic Escapade. Despite sounding like a mid life crisis motorbike purchase it is, in fact, an all rounder type bicycle. Marketed as a ' life bike' I was hooked! You know me, I'm like a magpie, I like shiny things! I'm open to offers on my cross bike BTW. Cheers.
