Ooh very nice! Mind me asking how much you paid?

Less than 40% of the RRP - was from the discipline of three closing down sale.

Bring it on, winter, ya bh!

Tempted by these boots, my feet seem to freeze once when the temps reduce, can you post some feedback when you have had them out on a few rides?

Been after one of these for a while...



It'll be getting fully stripped down over the weekend, built back up with the 'correct' groupset and the wheels and Shimano stuff put on BR/eBay

omFg - what about the additional weight? And worse still what about the aero drag all of that creates? How on earth will you get a KOM with those contraptions on your steed.......?

Well it was all getting a bit easy to be honest, so I thought a little disadvantage on my part - you know, give okgo a chance to keep up

Just in time to hit Woburn on the Mondraker!

This just turned up for my missus, lovely bit of kit.

I actually made a little gasping noise. I would do immoral things for that frame.

I feel a ratbike coming on:



It´s a Koga Miyata with what looks like their top-of-the-range FM1 tubeset, in rough condition, but I have just about all the bits on hand for a rough ´n´ ready winter bomber!

Let me know if the Ultegra is 10 or 11 speed, how much are you looking for it?

A few bits this week:







....to go onto this, which I won in a competition at the Bike Show at the NEC. Report/review to follow once I've ridden it!

It's a 10 speed group - Ultegra crankset, everything else dura ace 7900.

Its being delivered tomorrow so I'll look at the condition and work out a price. It's ex-demo so mileage will be low.

Would you be interested in the whole group?

There are quite a few riders near me who have done the same thing, but with beer and pies!!!

[Vocal Minority]

Oh I have done that too...you know, keep all the bases covered

Ouh, one of the new Halfords 13 range.

Got my winter bike frame and fork back from the powder coater yesterday, nice sparkle in the light:



Should get a few bits bolted on over the weekend.

Yeah, the Intuition Beta. 105 groupset, with FSA chainset. The best looking model, in my opinion. The next model up has a higher grade of carbon, so a lighter frame and fork, plus Ultegra including chainset, for £400 more.

I was more than a little excited when I read the email saying I had won! Got some funny looks at work!
