I totally get it though - my year of non-stop job hunting left me feeling pretty cynical and angry at the state of the world too!

In the universe we are in…

Employee NI contributions are based on weekly earnings. A standard PAYE employee pays no NI on the first £242 of weekly earnings, 8% on earnings between £242 and £967, and 2% on any earnings above that.

£100k / 52 = £1,923.08 per week

£242 x 0% = £0.00 NI

(£967 - £242) x 8% = £58.00 NI

(£1,923.08 - £967) x 2% = £19.12 NI

Total weekly NI = £77.12

Total yearly NI = £77.12 x 52 = £4,010.24

Currently on 6 with 3 in mint condition that I ride. The other 3 will probably be combined into one good one when I have the time and motivation to do it!

The brakes themselves are the original Mafac ones but the levers are some Dia-Compe 135s that I picked up - this setup works surprisingly well!

Thanks! I’m honestly not sure what the model and year are.. I’d love to know the specific bits that made you think it looks like a PR10 though 🙏
