New Tripster TCR V2 will be released this October.

I have a pic if anyone is interested.

Yes please, as I understand V2 will have through axle front fork and integrated cables?

correct....



I was tempted but not at £1849.99 for frame only with no fork.

Enigma Ecroix is in my sights.

Upgrading the Foxy RR and trickling the 'old' stuff down to my Vantage.

Yikes, and I was thinking that £840 for a second hand frame and fork was hard to justify!

..and there's shag all left

Actually, that's not quite true, but most of the things I had my eye on are now out of stock in my size.

Well, after typical PX delays, these bargains just arrived:

http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLPXCCCOB/planet-x-cl...
http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLPXP3BS/planet-x-pro...

Now I was going to come and tell you all to buy em (now that they;re here and I can say "they look pretty decent") - but they're no longer 13 quid but 21??

I also snapped up 4 of these..
http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/BOZEPREM/zefal-premie...

But now they're 2 quid each not 1?

PX confuse the bejeezus out of me, why have such random pricing? Surely it makes it less likely that people will buy, in that you'll always worry that the sale you're looking at might be lame compared to the sale tomorrow?

I had a bit of a 'moment' on Sunday after a couple of sherberts, some of this I needed, some I could live without......

A couple of these;



A couple of these to go in them;



Some of this;



One of these;



A box of these;



A tub of this;



A pair of these;



One of these;



And one of these;

[AC43]

Bought a pair of these and removed the nappy ready for the cycle home

[AC43]

On the way home yesterday I noticed that both my cheapo resin pedals were in advanced states of disintegration so went to Halfords and bought these.

Before you come at my with pitchforks for not buying something Italian made of unobtanium these are pretty much identical to the OEM pedals which made it through two winters and 3,000+ miles of commuting.

And I wanted to get something there and then that I could fit before today's commute.

They look very special, but I can't quite work out how you clip into them...
