^^ I don't have a TV. Has G.d.N made it onto the mass meeja?

Bicycle content: Nil. Vile rain storms batter Snafu Towers.

Old Bulgarian proverb: When the wind do blow, the bike don't go.

All you need is iPlayer, no need for the idiot's lantern in the corner.

^^^^ Aha! I have it now. A TV program, apparently hosted by Jabba The Hut.

Only the most nerdy would give much of a toss whether their disraliums were badged Dahon or SR Suntour, yet, there are surprises buried under the chain stays of this Mk1 Bulgarian Dahon.

I am left with the impression that Dr.Hon is not shy when it comes to finding atractive companions for himself so I am sure he can help you out!

Certainly, the Dahon Vitesse looks very good when carefully accessorised.

Nice bag - Carradice Barley

She is not looking too happy that one. Maybe she is hungry?

I'm rather taken with the shoes. Are they SPD compat, do we think?

Looks good, but since you are in the rainy Brittania you may want this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69Aun1EtJdc

^^^ Oh my! That is snazzy. Hmmm. £80. Hmmmm.

Is the dog included?

You need to ride in style: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=35172

or get something klickfix. You have the mounting for the lugagetruss or use a "Caddy" on the stem: http://rixen-kaul.com/index.php?lang=en

"Comes from" does not mean made - asian factories, this is the point of what constitutes "made in" - which can be skewed any which way it needs to be.

That is at least a 20 year old Dahon.



generally low wages feed the bosses not the workers..
at least if the business is owned by the workers they have a better chance of being better fed.


and war and prisons. and stealing your pension, before you get any.
then turning the above back at you if you don't accept your Fate.

How long will we in the West put up with this in order to buy cheap products?

Ain't "free market capitalism" a wonderful thing?

Actually, here it is only $ 100, but then there is the rack.. you need an anglegrinder for your rack ...

US will expand prison based manufacturing so as to not only re institute Slavery, for a made in USA label
but make imprisoning dissent into a profit center..

both the war to end all wars was not true , but the war against Fascism , as well..

biggest government Money can Buy..

Apple and oranges. The Chinese government oppressed it's people long before globalization. Same was true for Generalissimo Franco.[h=1][/h]

The question is: Why do we turn a blind eye to what is happening and allow corporations to import products they've made abroad in order to avoid paying a living wage and to skirt safety standards and environmental laws? Any attempt to rein this in brings howls of protest from those who insist we must "let the free market" work.

The question is: why do people that don't create jobs feels that the others that do owe them something. Feel free to create jobs and pay to your workers as much as you want.

^^^^ Old Bulgarian proverb: empty vessels rattle loudest.

Luggage is for Wimps

Old Bulgarian proverb: "If you can't get it in a bum bag, take the truck"

well.. i fear those babes are poseurs, not bicyklists.

actually, this summer I bought a nylonish "handbag" at a flea marked and stitched on short straps w buckles https://www.radicaldesign.nl/en/prod...terial/buckles . worked great for a long time. Bag is looking a bit "chewed" at this point. Used it a lot and is now looking for another bag to modify. As long as the bag is smallish it works. Can be clicked onto any bike in no time, no adaptors or stuff needed.

I like the clickfix system (and all types of gadgets) but did not buy much yet. Need to find systems that work with several bikes without costing the equivalent of several bikes..

"actually, this summer I bought a nylonish "handbag" at a flea marked and stitched on short straps w buckles"

Because there would be no profits without the labour provided by workers. In a civilised society, employers must pay a living wage. Feel free to exploit elsewhere, but don't try to import products made by workers who are little more than slaves.
