I was supposed to have received the contract for my shed construction on Thursday, after giving the verbal OK to the final revised quote, but no sign of it yet. It's a three month turn around from that point apparently, allowing for Council accquiessence, ordering, fabrication & construction. I want to get my sh i t organised and some bike projects moving again!!!

If I owned that Colnago, it'd sleep inside the house.
Angry wife or not.

Been there done that, behind me thank fooey. Rental bogan tenants next door, in a sh_i_tty house that isn't going to command much per/week AND allows dogs also sucks.lunar_c wrote:It's undercover but outside, so it's not getting wet.. don't have the space in our unit. Units suck, so does renting.

I bought a new Centaur groupset from Ribble,all genuine Campy cables supplied.The frame is straight! Im thinking that the switch from 126 to 130 is the cause.There is no problem when i put a 7 speed shimano lever or cassette onmunga wrote:and the frames straight? are you using campag cables or something else?

you got that right, ive gone from renting on my own a 2 bedroom house with a massive garage all to myself that had all the tools needed for anything- bead blasting cabinet, welder, work benches, every tool under the sun, materials and even automobilia hanging up everywhere. now im in a one bedroom unit with a carspace that my 81 Ducati and 96 Falcon have to squeeze into and the 64 Valiant sits abandoned in the unused space of the carpark in my block of units (lucky for me ive actually got somewhere to keep it!!) and my tool kit has been reduced to a 3 draw tool box. Renting bites BIG TIME. and i hate my job too. and im hungry and need a shower. now i have a headache. HEY, heres an idea- what if all of us poor Sydneysiders that need space all chipped in and collectively rented a millers self storage for our bikes? enough interested people would maybe work out to be 5-10 bucks a fortnight ? ideas or takers??lunar_c wrote:It's undercover but outside, so it's not getting wet.. don't have the space in our unit.

I ordered a headset yesterday. I decided on a Stronglight A9 as it's (supposedly) the lightest 1" threaded headset available. It's also a third the cost of a Campy record headset and very similiar in design, and no one had those in stock online.
I've also changed the saddle for a nicely worn Selle San Marco Rolls, and ordered some red Microtex bar tape. I've almost saved enough for the groupset too!
