It's Cold

I am going out because I love my 1934 Sturmey TF hub (fixed 2 speed) in my
1966 superlite Mercian.
It is bloody cold though

I don't know. It felt a bit warmer this morning than yesterday.

You kit sounds really cool. One rare treasure mounted on another. I
should keep it in low in this weather. :-)

I had one of them complete with top tube gear change. Used it on my witer
bike
It came off my dads 1930's Allen.

I am more modern with my 1963 JRJ Merlin with Campag Gran Sport gears(bought
about1958).
Mafac centre pull brakes, and Chater Lea pedals.
But my Brooks Professional saddle has split the leather this year.

It was actually 4.5 degrees C warmer that at the same time yesterday
at my house when I set off to work (0 today, -4.5 yesterday). It
didn't feel a lot different, and my hands were colder this morning
because I spent longer fettling without gloves on before setting off.

Quite a nice cycling day really. Low traffic and it wasn't that cold

I do confess to wearing knees warmers these cooler days to keep my important
joints working well . With a triple layer around my torso I find that if my
feet and head are warm then I am! I get too hot in longs!

The knee warmers are an "old age" thing!.

BTW -- it has been a "annus 'orriblis" for me. A very wet year plus all sorts
of things not going well mean that I have only done 5348 kms this year (it
seems longer than 3300 miles)

2009 will probably be my last long cycle/camping tour.in Europe! I am training
(I.e in a train) from Rotterdam to Berlin and then cycling into Poland before
returning home on my wheels. it is very flat!

Fascinating - are you sure that figure is accurate?


Have you found that bit in the HC which endorses "filtering" yet?

I pointed out the web page
He then quickly changed the web page - but "forgot" to change the date
of last amendment so it looked like the change had been there for
years.
