    I tried buying new lenses for the ones I have and couldn't find any as the design has changed and I informed her it would be at least £100 and she was still fine with me spending my own money... :lol:

    I'll probably have to get her a spa day or something

    I like them.

    They do a photochromatic lens that starts clear which is surprisingly unpopular with the main stream sports specs people. That's what I need, bit more than I can afford atm tho.

    you mean these?

    I was considering those as the night/winter lenses but I think they don't let quite enough light through and I'll get the clear ones instead

    She got big feet?

    I like them iClicks, when I finally get a decent bike I'm putting them on it.

    Haha, size 37, she is quite lucky actually, there are tonnes of bargains in her size. Size 6 clothing too, generally good for her in sales!

    If she likes the i-Clics, I am ordering a few to replace the various RXS I use.

    Oi! No pix, didn't happen :wink:

    Well, I don't pick it up until Sunday...

    Trying to go get it as early as possible, so I can spend the rest of the day tooling around on it :) Doubt it'll be a commuter...

    Hang on, if I don't provide pictures, it didn't happen - so I can buy another bike?

    Logically, yes. :wink:

    I'm picking up my new frame and forks today. :D Bought an old stock Sigma Attica from the LBS for the commute, training and the odd race if I can get off my backside to get myself to a race.

    @cjcp you know's the rules... New bike = pics or it didn't happen

    As for me I think "it's time daddy" for some new shoes, I can ignore the toe and side holes but the heals falling off is a tad too much even for me :lol:

    New bike arrived yesterday, courtesy of eBay; needs putting together properly before picks but I'm now the owner of a used Cervelo S1 2009 with Ultegra SL group (apart from 105 brakes).

    She's lovely.

    I'm really looking forward to getting it! Have only read good things about Shutt jerseys and am a firm believer in wool FTW.

    I'll be ordering some Standard Bib Shorts when they have my size back in stock. Pete says "next week". :D

    I've made a few orders from Evans recently , one order was over 7days ago and it's still not arrived.

    I made an order from Wiggle 36hrs ago, and it came in this mornings post.

    Clearly Evans aren't a Wiggle or Chain Reaction , but if they can do it, so could Evans.

    Pull your finger out Evans :x
