Hope you boys make sure you're fully equipped when you're out. None of this bloody lycra bollix.

A Leeds bike shop is selling off '£500,000' of stock at auction after the business was shuttered.

LC Leeds Bike Shop Ltd, on Stanningley Road, a company that operated a large showroom, bike fitting studio will be holding an online auction next Tuesday (April 30).
The firm ceased trading at the beginning of February and the restructuring and insolvency team of leading business advisers Quantuma, which is handling the winding up of the business, has instructed industrial auctioneers Eddisons to dispose of the stock. Everything has been removed to the firm’s Scunthorpe Auction Centre.
The auction includes Italian racing machines that retailed for as much as £3500 children’s cycles that cost over £600 and balance bikes for toddlers that had price tags of £180. The mountain of parts going under the hammer covers everything from brake blocks (£45 a pair in the case of some Swiss productions) through to carbon frames that were priced at two and a half thousand.

Anchor What channel is it on?

Anchor

Eurosport if you have a dodgy box or Discovery+ if you want to pay and go full stages ad free.

GCN folded last year - gutted - loved their coverage although the Discovery channel has the breakaway with Orla and all that.

Dmax have highlights at 7pm.

Chain started skipping/slipping on this morning's ride into work. Just found a stiff link, the little fucker. Given the age of the chain, I'm going to replace it. New Dura Ace job.

When I read the headlines on the Telegraph (as well as the smug photos accompanying them), I want to punch my laptop in.
