And what a fine group of people they are. Ricky finally redeemed his dismissal of my trusty Claud
Butler as "obsolete" by doing a same afternoon turnaround on my 'bent - the Magura disc brake mounts
needed fettling (there is a Special Tool which looks a lot like a milling cutter to me).
Andy, the boss, has the Giant semi-recumbent prominantly on display, and the fairing from Jason
Queally's 2001 world HPV record attempt on the wall. The Sith are moving in
I bought an 11-32T cogset for the Stinger, which should be better now I've started taking more
devious routes home for extra climbing practice, and should allow me to take on a wider range of
rides, and I spoiled myself with a pair of Tacx sealed bearing idlers, which are lovely and quiet.
If somewhat purple.
And I picked up a copy of the Reading Cycle Campaign newsletter
<http://webspace.netmatters.co.uk/slim/rcc/CycleReading%20Winter%202003.pdf>
Two odd things: there's a Giant bike with automatic transmission on show (why? it's got a Nexus hub
gear - how much easier does it need to be?) and some bloke with a set of 16-spoke aero wheels with
gnarlies! What's that about?
