Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...
Midschoolfool:
Wow I actually bought something.
I was gutted they had none in chrome. Searched for over an hour. If you are not familiar with the shape....
Basically on my S&M NBD I ran short of cash toward the end for cranks. I bought some very battered Demolition Medial cranks which got a knock after I painted them (so a big chip in the paint). There is also a big dent in the back of one of the pedal bosses. So I am going to paint those yellow and I ordered these from Del.
And when I say paint I mean properly. As in not acrylic. I will paint them with this.
And then give them 2k clear. I have a load of parts to paint green, so I ordered plenty of clear. I will just shoot the clear at the same time.

Had Covid and then flu in a row from October til past Christmas, and now I am suffering from an infection. I won't go into it, because it will make you whince but yeah. I am not even capable of working on anything right now, let alone buying anything or riding. Fookin sucks :(

I hope you doing better now mate fistblump
Midschoolfool:
Sadly not.
About 7 weeks ago I noticed like a sore on one of the twins. At the time I had no idea what it was. Bit itchy for a few days... Well then it spread. Like all over my old chap and down between my groin. I went to the doc, and he thought it was thrush. Gave me one pill and some cream. I swear, that was the gnarliest pill I have ever taken. Made my head crash, sweats etc. Well it just made it 10x worse. I looked like a red cauliflower down there. Got back to the doc 4 days later and I had been bleeding a lot. I still had no idea what it was. This time he gave me some steroid cream and some strong painkillers. I had to sit on a towel for about a week. I could not even put on PJ shorts as it was so painful. The cream sort of worked, but it only got to around 95% better. Weeks later I went back to the doc. This time he has given me some cortizone cream and anti biotics, after I realised what had actually happened....
I am a bit obsessed with self hygeine. So I have been erm, shaving down there for many years. Well one time I forgot to do it and got in the shower and grabbed a razor. Must have nicked the sack, and got an abscess. Which then got infected, and the treatment for thrush literally fed it. So here I am two months later still trying to heal it. The worst is now gone. Only problem is the ABs are giving me the squirts ffs.
The cranks came in. I swear they are absolutely identical to these.
So I am stoked. Just need to paint them yellow now.
Midschoolfool:
If I ever find time to paint those cranks yellow I am also going to change the fork on my S&M NBD. They were painted with acrylic and it got badly chipped. I just wanted that bike to be all new.
I got another set of those. Again in white.

That sounds quite horrific dude. I’m glad you are on the mend and a bit more comfortable. Yeah sometimes the squirts are the price you pay when using AB’s. I hope they along with the cream sorts it out once and for all. Anyway, give my love to the twins :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
