I do like a sugar puff or two and buy then when they are on a deal in Scotmid, as they currently are. £1.49</p> <p>Or that Roger Daltry crashed a wedding band in Bishopton at the weekend but they didn't know any Who songs. </p> <p>I can't explain </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14029#post-174290 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 17:33:13 +0000 gembo 174290@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Always expect the unexpected.

It was curious stuff where the flavour seemed to my uncultured tastebuds to exist almost entirely as an after taste. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14029#post-174150 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 16:11:59 +0000 kaputnik 174150@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's fine, auldfashint lines are spoiled only by ever-so-slight lack of horizontality in the top tube, the novelty disc brake rotors and the lack of any curve in the fork; it has that peculiar kink at the fork crown instead that modern straight-bladed forks have. The mudguards have the single-arm Velo Orange attachment which is very handsome, and in my experience of it, a right pain in the posterior to work with and results in much rattles and potentially damage to metal mudguards due to the overly long length of unsupported guard. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14029#post-174146 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 15:51:00 +0000 gembo 174146@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@acsimpson - maybe try putting more coffee and less water in the pot? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14029#post-174070 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 11:54:37 +0000 acsimpson 174070@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>6 points for strength but IME tastes a bit like hot water. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14029#post-173966 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 12:50:09 +0000 gembo 173966@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Java script</p> <p>Or Java coffee such as Taylor's of york's hot lava Java that was the first to go to six on the five point strength scale? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14029#post-173961 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 11:37:41 +0000 I were right about that saddle 173961@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Gorgeous.

Had nexus seven speed with funny wee front rack baker boy style with Dynamo light attached.</p> <p>All their bikes are very retro. Their road bikes have shifters on the down tube for chrissakes</p> <p>Many seem to be named after coffees and their cookies policy is in polish.</p> <p>Alfine gears seem quite dear up to 1500 euros but their nexus seven with brooks saddle and same baker boy front rack and front and rear Dynamo starts at 700 euros. I did not check if the extras are standard or added on</p> <p>On the one hand achingly hip and trendy, on the other quite good kit </p>
