"Well. It's official.... I've deferred my place for RideLondon 
How come?"
I just don't think I can do it and haven't been out for ages. Whenever I've tried longer rides I'm knackered and struggling at 30 miles. Going to focus on shifting some weight and making cycling part of my everyday life! |

Do you mean building the frames, or just adding components to a frame?
I worked as an apprentice frame builder a good few years ago, built quite a few bikes in my time.
I build up bikes on a regular basis, it saves a fortune and I know the work is done correctly. |

Just finished transferring all the components over on to a second hand Storck frame I picked up a few weeks back, very happy with how it's all come together! |

After a fair few weeks of dou g nothing have done 35 miles today!
But silly as I've signed up to do another 35 tomorrow at a local audax but will just see how I feel and take it steady.
I just get so thirsty when I ride. I've stopped at a pub literally down the road from where I live for 2 lager shandys and 2 s! |

Only had to do it the one time so far, fingers crossed!!
Seems simpler than my last frame anyhow, which had the wheel right up against the shaped seattube.. |
