Nah, you'd look cute all dressed alike like some little cycling club....
Go on..... buy the jerseys...0 -
That would be skanky...FCN 2-4.

But they don't have the Alias I want. I want the same saddle on both bikes. Uh-oh, I'm beginning to sound like G66. :shock:
Nope, I'm with you on that one. You'll have the same bum on both bikes after all...
Yes, thats right ... both of you ... release your inner Obsessive Compulsives...0 -

'sfunny you should say that. I'm thinking of trying out the Spesh Gel Toupe. Except if I buy one and like it, Spesh might make some subtle change to it before I can buy another. And then they wouldn't match. So I'd need to get two new ones and end up with three.
That won't do. So the alternative is to buy two to try them out.
That seems a bit silly.
Maybe I'll stick with the SLRs. Phew.0 -
I need another specialized jett...
EDIT: the one I have is the 2007 one... must buy another before the redesign...0 -
That would be typical!
The SLR was ok, but, umm, well, it was a tad harsh for the commute if you know what I mean.
They've got the Alias on sale in Evans, but it's not the 155, which is the one on the commuter bike. There may be subtle differences which would annoy me. Sounds like Princess and the Bl00dy Pea...FCN 2-4.

But I also need to get new wheels. At the moment, I have three wheels at the moment, which doesn't come across as a balanced collection of wheels.FCN 2-4.

Depends.
404s and a disc?
No, didn't think so.
Well, Embankent is more or less a TT...FCN 2-4.

Spesh Gel Toupes are great. But they need to be white.Bike1

Strictly utilitarian approach to kit, me. Nothing flash or showy. Just yer regular stuff what you'd see down the local Working Men's Club.*
