That Sunday is also the Love Your Bike fest thing in Southsea at the BMX ramp track whatchamacallit on the seafront. They're giving away spoke cards and everything. I'll miss it, but duty calls, and the pies are on me.

I have ridden my bike up the BMX ramps, but not down them. If you go, please grab me some spoke cards. I wish to appear 'cool'.

Rear tyre clearance is a gripe of mine too. A little dimpling the chain stay tubes and shifting the bridge a little bit forward,
is kind of a small cost, change .. OK change to the brazing fixture may cost something , but not much .& a tool to make the dimple 1 R,1L,
and a labeled bin for each.

Wonder if the Ti tail has the same issues ?
