    No need for carbon. They'll be fine. Spend the money on better, more aero wheels.

    Gtvlusso - I can't help thinking your overly short steerer problem and '2 year crash warranty' can somehow make friends with each other... :wink: 8)

    Happy Birthday!

    I don't think I have a crash warranty on my old fork......It may turn out that my new TT frame sterrer tube is much shorter than the road bike tube and then we are in business!

    It's red, red I tell you! The fancy rucksack is actually a lovely vomitty orange colour though. As for the chocolates... Hmm, don't think I'll actually eat many of them. Wimmen!

    Bought on eBay last night, should be collecting in the next week or so:

    I'll be joining the SS commuters along the Victoria Embankment and out to Streatham.

    The gearing looks low though, so I'll be on here again in a few days, I'm sure. I'll have to update my FCN and sig as well, I suppose.

    Recently, I visited the Specialized concept stores in Plymouth and Ruislip and bought the following:

    Specialized S-Works Proset stem
    Aztec brake pads for my road bike
    2 Specialized Rib-cage Pro bottlecages
    Specialized Share The Road short sleeve jersey
    Specialized Chamonix R helmet and Trail Top jersey for my girlfriend

    I nearly came out of the Plymouth branch with a 2009 Roubaix Expert also but managed to talk myself out of causing serious harm to my credit card :-D
