    @Nicklouse - why couldn't you find a groupset for the road bike?

    the LBS did not have the required parts. and the 2009 stuff has not arrived yet. but could be sorted soon. but need the snow to go.

    I have just ordered some new shorts and a baselayer from Wiggle. I think it may soon be time to expose my porcelain but well defined legs to the world yet again......

    Black being the new black, I got some black ones.

    And seeing that I ordered them from Wiggle last night, I am quite surprised not to find them on the doormat yet :?

    Thought they were supposed to be quick......

    Actually found them a bit reduced from the old price. I got in there quick before the RRP goes up there as well.

    Right. No more purchases until the autumn.

    Didn't realise Morrisons sold cycling stuff, let alone own-brand shoes... :wink:

    Last sunday when I went out for a day ride and left my lights on the dog cage my 3 year princess hide them all round the house. Found the last one yesterday and two of them don't work properly now.

    Worst thing was, SWIMBO saw her playing with them but did she bother to take em off her - did she b*****ks!!!

    Yep Mrs ITB said oh she wouldn't have taken your buff she wouldn't even know what it is, so I call the beast, "er what's a buff" - "what colour is/was the buff"

    Oh she knows alright - little monster :wink:

    Just ordered a 16t fixed sprocket. Gonna be fun when I fit it and ride for the first time. Might regret it, might love it.

    Sod the credit crunch, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me.................................

    Trek Madone 5.2 Pro
    Giant Reign X1 (ex demo)

    Plus some very nice Most Panther carbon shoes, that would match a Pinarello Prince, and some Ultegra Sl pedals

    I'm off to the LBS to see what else I can blag when I pick this little lot up.

    Unfortunately the Giant Glory DH has to go :cry::cry: and I'm just waiting for a nice man from fleabay to pick her up

    Still waiting for the Glory DH to go :roll: Come on, the lbs is open and my babies are waiting. Her indoors thinks I'm like a 10 year old kid and it's not right for a 40 year old bloke to behave like this over a bike :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Grrrr, I want these. Where did you find them? I know Wiggle had them once...

    I cannot justify them though - already have 2 pairs of Spesh road shoes.

    The Pearson. They would be for both but they're not the S version so not good enough for the Prince. TBH I don't really like the non S ones that much but they do match the Pearson's wheels so well...

    God I am an insufferable tart.

    I ordered one of those yesterday but got sent a prologo instead by mistake. Also good but now have 2 red/white in medium...

    That's where my other half got them from just after christmas. Unfortunately she spirited them away and wouldn't let me have them untill today :evil: :evil:

    They'd match your Prince superbly for maximum tartiness :lol::lol: , but you'd have to catch me first :wink:
