Is the frame a custom jobby?

 

They have 22 sizes, they do offer custom sizing for £600 but I don't feel there is a need with 22 to choose from.

 

Bit of a splurge this weekend.
MBP M4 Max 16"
Airpod Max (replaces my 1st gen lightnig Max's)
Dell U2724DE (thunderbolt monitor noice)
Anker Thunderbolt 5 Cable x 2
3M Peltor Sporttac ear defenders (See if these are better at the range than my last pair hello Christmas Clay time)

Time to let the card cool off lol.

 

Just had another look at the website and put my measurements in and, the nearest standard size is quite close to my ideal. However, having experienced the benefits of a high quality, made-to-measure frame, I would pay the extra, it's not a lot seen as a percentage.

 

Sure but it's going to be a 95% perfect fit. I want to try and keep the total below or on the nose of £10,000 including build labour. At the moment it looks like I'll have no change left as it stands

 

Back in 1989, when I bought my made-to-measure frame from Argos Racing Cycles in Bristol, for a little over £300, I never imagined a new bike costing around £10,000… https://argoscycles.com/

 

You can get nice bikes for much less.
I have an XC Giant bike that of been enjoying for the past few years which was £1300 on sale.

But I want to get back into the more fast gravity sports side of it and I have a once in a life time opportunity to get a dream halo bike so I'm taking it.

 

Back when I was still cycling, I would have jumped at a similar chance.

Looks to have changed by a few quid but heres the link, if you get the 10 pro over the xl they give you pixel buds too https://www.mobiles.co.uk/contract-...st=<=50&filter_network_multiselect[]=idmobile

Worked out for me, i was going to get the ai plan anyway, it came, pleasantly happy with the phone.

 

Nice work, you will now need to go optic shopping .

You'll shoot your eye out kid.

 

Ha! Did you ever find that in the cellar in the first Borderlands?

 

Actually not something I've played, I was just quoting A Christmas Story

 

Yeah, if you find the secret hideout in the game, you can grab a Red Ryder BB gun with that flavour text on the weapon card.

It's not the greatest but I'm pretty sure I kept it all the way through because it was a special find.

 

Finally managed to get the pennies together for a couple of much needed upgrades.

At the moment I am running a Ryzen 5 2600x and a 980Ti which has done me very well for the type of gaming that I do, which is not a huge amount and nothing that needs mad fps at 4k.

So I have ordered this fella:



And am waiting to hear back on a Ryzen 7 5800X from FB marketplace. I would love to go for something like a 5700x3D or even a 5800x3D, nut those still command a little too much of a premium for where I am at right now.

My monitor is 1080 resolution with a VERY nice picture and I don't feel the need to upgrade from that so this combination should see me OK for another good amount of time and it means that I don't need to step up to DDR5, no need for a PSU upgrade, my pcie 3.0 M.2 boot drive is also perfectly suited and my current AIO cooler setup should still be able to cope just fine. Fingers crossed, this upgrade at a cost of around £350 or so should be good for a couple of years again.

 

Mini sander. Supposed to be for rough skin on feet, but makes a great detail sander for cleaning up prints.

A new to me MacBook Pro - it's a 2021 M1 Pro (8CPU 14 GPU,) 16gb LPDDR5, and a 512gb NVME. For Chrimble I got a nice purple plaid shirt, the pod racer lego set, a Wheeljack transformer and a book nook kit to go on my bookshelf and look pretty. A
