I'll keep an eye out, thanks.

I'm giving a pair of these a try:

To see how they get on, and I also "invested" in some Schwalbe Marathon Plus MTB tyres and slime tubes for the MTB, which sees mainly winter commuting duties, and is currently in bits for it's summer service.

Managed to get an almost "as new" condition mountain bike for my daughter's 7th birthday present from our local charity bike recyclers http://www.recyke-y-bike.org/ a Claud Butler Origin 20" for £60, rather than £120ish new.

Then called in to Halfords in Edinburgh and picked up a Dare2B Reflective Jacket, for £25, instead of £50.

After just putting new tyres and brake pads on my GT I seem to have bought this at the weekend.... new mount or mount adaptor needed for my carrier aswell now as it's a 15z100 axle on the fork.

Nice, I've just ordered one. What size is that?

Currently trying to work out if I can squeeze a 150mm dropper in.

Made a bit of a cheeky miscalculation and ended up buying a Verve Infocrank power meter!

Have to say that I love it so far, initial numbers are interesting although it would now seem that I'm going to have to put my mouth where my money was and do some proper training and consider the prospect of racing!...

No point in owning the kit and not making proper use of it?!

Mine rocked up with TNT yesterday, delivery cost must have been nearly the £4.95 total I paid!

The I'm on my second sitting of the power meter handbook ... had my P2M for 3 months or so, so just collecting data! Have fun with it.

I've gone large on the frame, wrong for me on every sizing chart but sat on it it feels spot on. Really lively on turns and jumps wlll even with my limited ability

I've been looking at droppers, the crush s comes with a 125mm dropper so I'd imagine 150 will be a squeeze. I need to get a Rockshox Reverb once I have some money again. Bought the bike then realised I needed 4 tyres yesterday and my accountants bill came in the post. Bugger!
