Lovely, but the pedant gene in me made my eye start to twitch at the missing comma

Hahahah, hadn't spotted that initially!

I try not to post in this thread as it gives an accurate record of what I've spent, but was quite pleased to get this in this particular colour so I've made an exception.



Camelbak Mule NV.

In real life it doesn't look quite as lollipop lady as it does in this pic. Can't get it in the UK in this 'colour way' so had to resort to German eBay.

You need some white detailed tyres as well:



For example.

Someone posted about the rear derailleur hanger tool a month or so ago.

I got one. It changed my life. Best £30 on tools I've ever spent.

It wasn't even that far out, but it was far enough to have been driving me slowly crazy not being able to index it right.

Thank you. Sincerely.

And a word from the wise about Start Cycles:

The "Craft" branded stuff is what comes up at Aldi periodically. It seems to be a lot cheaper at Aldi too.

Exactly as I felt once the gears finally worked properly

My daughter is good at spot the difference.

Apart from the obvious wheel change she noticed a lowered stem, a raised and changed saddle and removed cages. Did she miss anything?

Looks amazing on those Zipps.

Looks like something Tom Cruise would have in his downstairs bog.

Thank you. Just bought the same, plus a Mavic waterproof jacket, some socks and Bianchi gloves.
