That's lovely. Is it an EF frame or something? Did you get a bargain somewhere?

It is the 2019 HM team replica frame. Sigma had a couple of hundred off them. My local LBS couldn’t get a 56, so bought it remote. Currently being built by LBS. I haven’t got the BB30 tools, so.....

Hopefully collect it on Saturday. I’ve sacrificed my Synapse group set for the hold, so fingers crossed.

Get an air shot. Makes inflating and seating Tubeless a cinch.

Compressor arrives tomorrow

It was £50 quid for a glorified thermos, or £100 for a 50L thing.

HM is the carbon type - high modulas IIRC

I used a ratchet strap and a couple of shots from an air cannon to get mine seated. Was surprisingly difficult. But, i've just changed my rim and the tyre seated on there with a couple of ferocious pumps on a track pump.

And what looks like a workplace delivery address, in accordance with most male cycling purchases...

My dear wife actually knows about this delivery lol

Depending on how limited they are (and assuming haven’t already all sold out to RCC members before Friday), I'm definitely ordering one of these jerseys

Managed to snag one but they’re selling out fast. Having missed out on getting one of the Colin Strickland ones that I quite fancied, I’m wondering if it isn’t worth joining the RCC just so that I can buy the products I actually want.

As others have said - HM= High Modulus.

The team is EF Education First.

I bought some WD40 for my g'pas 1923 Raleigh, can I get a dropper seat to fit this? Ha!

I don't know what you mean...

My watch purchases also seem to always go to the office too...

Finally got some nice wheels for my Canyon. They were really easy to set up Tubeless but I may have made a mistake with the tan sidewalls. Not having much taste, I’m not sure ? Should I put them on my black Allez and stick to all black tyres on the Canyon ?

[Steamer]

Love it!

Matt Red & Black looks amazing on that frame.

Really like the side wall contrast too.

[Squadrone Rosso]

Ordered mudguards for my MTB as getting absolutely bogging on the local cycle paths by the sea & canals.

[GraemeP]

Pipedream Sirius frame in green to replace my Ragley Big Wig - and a pair of Stans Flow Ex mk3s laced to some orange Hope Pro 4s.

[Solocle]

Somehow managed to crack the old one, but I found one that should work quite well with the bike!
