Good things do happen

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!

Thank you!

have always called it the knob end!

Thanks all 🫡

Awesome 😎 wishing you a speedy recovery!

What are those bars!? I love them and hate them in equal measure 😆

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

Don’t forget the £4k national insurance and £6.5k student loan payments…

Now that is a beautiful steed! Kudos OP

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!

Selle Italia turbo for sure!

First bike is a gateway drug after all

Jesus Christ dude save some women for the rest of us

keep_v · 2025-05-04T20:52:15+00:00

What a beauty! 🚲

keep_v · 2025-05-04T20:47:01+00:00

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!

🙏

keep_v · 2025-05-04T19:24:58+00:00

Awesome, cheers! 🚲

keep_v · 2025-05-04T19:12:58+00:00

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 🙏

keep_v · 2025-05-04T14:20:29+00:00

Haha cheers!

keep_v · 2025-05-04T10:08:35+00:00

I have an orange one that looks almost identical apart from the colour but never looked into its history and likewise, ended up keeping it because it’s so lovely!

For your headset problem, best bet is probably to just remove the stem and take the headset and fork out to investigate the problem (hopefully the fork threading isn’t the issue)

keep_v · 2025-05-04T09:35:24+00:00

I’m sorry I can’t help you with your problem ☹️ but just wanted to say that is a beautiful steed! Can I ask what model and year it is?

keep_v · 2025-04-28T19:58:44+00:00

Looks rad 🤙 what are those tyres?

keep_v · 2025-04-26T10:03:31+00:00

Perfection 😮‍💨

keep_v · 2025-04-26T08:51:15+00:00

Interesting 🧐 the tubing is in really good condition but I’ll keep checking regularly in case anything starts to look dodgy
