CitroJim's AX, C3 Picasso, Cycling and Running Tales

In seriousness though with flat bars the profile should follow the v between your thumb and index finger and point straight along your forearm for maximum comfort. I'm not sure if you're familiar with flat bars as all your other bikes have those ornate curly ones.

[CitroJim]

That's good advice James as my bars do need adjusting to make them feel 'right' to me... I also need to check and set the saddle height properly too...

I love your description of my roadie bars James!

[CitroJim]

Very posh for the duties it'll be doing Jim. Those handlebars look sad, please rotate them to a happier position.

You're right James...

I will get to it soonest

This has now been done James

Looks a lot happier now

Good to hear, last thing you need is a depressed bicycle moping around.

Otherwise it will start looking for a small, two-stroke engine, and end up becoming a depressed bicycle mopeding about.

Very good James!

Had my first ride in a C5 X7 yesterday What a car! It was Alasdair's and was our funeral transport... Thanks for everything yesterday Alasdair

dad's funeral went very well indeed and I reckon we gave him a fantastic send off

It was a pleasure to assist in such a small way Jim. If it allowed you to concentrate on your Dad for the afternoon then job done.

I have to say Dad sounded like a top chap and I was pleased to be able to help celebrate him and his life.

Sad news indeed. Hope all is well Jim.

Alasdair, you did more yesterday for us than you'll ever realise

You'd have got on with him really, really well Alasdair...

[Stickyfinger]

I do think so

[CitroJim]

Despite them both being unused all this week - which is more than I can say for my bikes - I've checked over both cars and found them good...

They are getting so little use nowadays I question why I need to retain three of them sometimes but they each have a role to play...

I'm too attached to both of my Xantias to let either of them go and the 207 is going to give me a lot of fun and enjoyment once the weather warms up...

I'm fining it hard to work outside at the moment due to my hands being so susceptible to the cold and Reynauld's...

It's a shame as I have no issue keeping everything else about me lovely and warm...

No gloves work for me and goodness knows, I've tried 'em all... I just manage cycling and running by wearing two pairs...

[elma]

I hear what your saying, I'm indoors warming back up at the moment.

My right index finger is cracked and sore from working in the cold and I am wearing gloves.

It's just one of the less good parts of Winter, I'm questioning today if heat really rises. I've spent most of the day up ladders and it's not any warmer up in the air at all.

Your fleet makes perfect sense to me, hobby, workhorse and project.

I get that unless I'm very careful James... It's not helped by all the swimming I do either... I do find liberal applications of Vaseline several times a day and after any immersion in water really helps...

Good practical science! And I find the same... My house is definitely cooler upstairs than downstairs and the attic is bloody freezing

Excellent That's just what I need to hear James!

[Xantianut]

Ay up!

I get jip from the hip when it's this cold. This is why Otterchops still has her old ignition barrel fitted. Soon as I crouched on the concrete to see what was what I had just time to see where to drill and punch when.....


EEEEeeeeeeEEEEEeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyoooooooooOOOOOOOOUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHH!

Then had to put the steering column shrouds back together.

Getting to be an old git these days.....
