    Whilst ordering,it made sense to get one or two other items...

    Just turn up anyway, there's not much they can do about it...

    Moment of madness with the Dromarti's but they'll get plenty of use in the summer I reckon. Was gonna spend that money on some Northwave winter boots...

    Must admit I thought about the Race version as all my shoes are white or silver, not really in keeping with the tweed look ;) Could also use for the Dun Run in the summer :)

    S-works stem, Felt Drops, Easton Bar tap, and tektro cross top brake levers.

    my risers are going to be replaced for the drops.


    Going to be ordering a singlespeed kit, pink or blue tyres, wheels, SS cranks and a rigid mountain bike fork as the other half wants to lose weight and commuting by bike is the easy option :P

    A Night vision waterproof pannier cover to keep my cheapo panniers clean.

    Also for the first time ever I went to the bike shop for a look around and walked out with a brand new bike,

    That puts the "minimal maintenance" claims of the SS riders to shame - a bike with no transmission at all! It's so awesome I want kids just so I can buy one.

    Just get one for a 'friends kids' I had a quick go on it yesterday it's good fun. There's a 1km long 9% hill just outside my house, next time the wife takes the kids out I'm gonna give it a go.

    My first spend of Feb's wages. Paid on friday and spending on sunday, better than last month when I resisted for 4 hours :oops:

    Wiggle's price meant I realised they are now charging for Haribos by stealth :x

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Yeah, managed to snatch the last one from Epic.

    Managed to take it for an hour long dry(ish) spin yesterday. It rides beautifully.

    Lovely Campagnolo winter jersey, dry and toasty.

    I'm happy to take credit for the sudden onset of Spring which has now rendered my new jersey almost unnecessary :lol:
