I found your lawn! It is between the pavers!! Good work, again. Green saddle would have looked dumb.

Nice. I'm assuming a 150mm post would be too big? I should have a spare by the end of next week that I can let go cheap

Yep. 100 is just too big....because of the insertion issue. Can only drop about 140mm in before it hits pivot bolt. If I could slam, 150 would work easy.

His Grandma and his dad came to collect today, ready for his birthday tomorrow. They're super stoked. @Nerf Herder tracked down the lost dropper through Aus Post, and it arrived this morning. Have been trying to find dad a $2000 bike for himself for months. Everything he sees on FB sells in minutes to morons, or is so far overpriced, I tell him not to touch.
I had Felix's Process up on the stand doing some work ready for selling. He asks if he can buy it. I tell him its more than he's wanting to spend, and set up heavier and more hardcore than he needs.....But say I could lighten it a bit with other wheels and tyres, and drop the price a bit to save listing it.
SOLD, he says! :oops:

Definitely should have gone to specsavers
The local kids are fortunate to have you seemingly able to pull and endless supply of good bikes out of your arse @moorey. Nice job. So the obvious question is what’s on the stoves?
