Treated myself to this:



Needed to buy a new bike for my other half, so she has inherited my old bike and I had a new one, cant wait for it to arrive!

Nice, very nice. Friend has one, he wasn't sure initially but seems to be settling into it.

My Pikes arrived today, so nice even just sitting there not attached to a bike. Yum.

Never come across those before, just had a look and they seem to get great reviews so I will give them a go when the cork ones wear out.

I'm using these at the moment. I've no experience of Swiss stop to compare them but for the money I've no complaints.

I had a ride of an XL and felt uncomfortable on it, but the large just felt right. A lot more than I planned to spend but only live once and all that!

A nice new shiny Campag Chorus 11 speed chain to replace the other new shiny one which I managed to mangle on my first ride after having it changed. LBS did not put my chain catcher back in the correct position and chain got wrapped around bottom bracket bending several links. Ripped off the chain stay protector as well but managed to straighten it enough to ride home.
Managed to pick one up from Cycle Surgery and they price matched Wiggle which was very good of them.

Picked up my new Troy Lee Designs A1 from the local sorting office today

Having been rejected for my previous three entries for the RideLondon I've finally managed to get a space with my club (RAF CC), looking forward to August and enjoying the closed roads

I have just had a placed confirmed through my club - looking forward to it, but not quite as much as I am looking forward to the Velothon....

After having test ridden a Fizik Gobi XM saddle from my LBS for 2 weeks including a North Wales weekend epic I went back and orderred my own Gobi M3 from them (XM no longer listed). Now I've done 3 rides on it I cant sit down at work... so now I've bought an old stock Gobi XM from Ebay...

Expensive way to find out that Fizik really not how to "improve" their products... Anyone looking for a cheap 5 day old carbon saddle!?

Just ordered one of these as a backup for my 500 mile trip to Scotland, should be a good incentive to look after my tyres!

Haha, I ordered some in 'Giro Pink' a couple of years ago, they are a lot more pink in real life than they look on your computer screen...

Wow! I'm looking forward to rocking that look as I get lost in some of the North East's finest council estates!
