  1. bought tyres today, Heidenau thingies, German make so should be good. fitted them tonight and the front was a bitch to fit and my fingers were knackered, the rear was dead easy and it just popped on! Now I can weld on the front mudguard brackets and work out how to fab a tie bracket for the TLS brake.

  3. could be a duff battery too, check connections as DDT says
  4. no way man, that's cool
  5. it became tedious setting it up. the engine is like a hair-dryer, useful but not interesting. cycle parts are just panels that you screw together on a tiddly frame. everything's plastic
