A Mason Cycles 'Rolling Chassis' https://masoncycles.cc/products/resolution-rolling-chassis and a SRAM eTap HRD groupset to go on it https://www.sigmasport.co.uk/item/SRAM/Red-eTap-HRD-Post-Mount-Wireless-Groupset/FZM9

Did you get the special Hunt wheels too? Mason Frames are beautiful to look at - and unusually for a pretty frame - apparently superb to ride as well. Very very jealous.

Even more jealous of the etap hrd - I lost patience in waiting ( I think sram initially said november 2015 for release) and went for Shimano; but I still wish... maybe I could sell the Shimano gruppo and put the proceeds towards the etap hrd

You gotta post a picture when you have built it up

I went for the Hunt 4Season Disc as they were part of the package, can't wait to get it all set up and will certainly be putting up some build photos.

An iPad. For Zwift.

I should probably get a Turbo too.

The brake track has a noticeably rougher feel to it, and small grooves sliced into it, I assume to help clearing water off it. Will report back after the first wet weather braking test...

Nah- that's a design feature- "microplane" - to ensure that a fresh & clean pad surface is always presented to the rim. Came to the designer whilst topping his carbonara with Parmesan.

Looks good but now you need a frameset to do it justice

Sounds like you got the better end of the deal, swapping your iPad for Zwift

I haven't had one in a while but it did seem to be the best way of doing Zwift.

Bargaintastic as well. £350 in CEX for an absolutely as new 128GB Wifi and 4G iPad Air 2. Checked Apple's system, it's 4 months old. 2 year CEX warranty.

Scoured the house for unused games, blu rays, etc. Traded a load in, got £150 credit. Net cost £200. Not bad for a £600 iPad.

bikes`n`guns

Ultegra 11-28 cassette
New chain to suit
BB90 bottom bracket
Rear hanger.


I only went in for the hanger !

Similar to Bikes n Guns above (only went in for the pedals!):
- Look Keo Blade 2 pedals
- Endura Zyme ii baggies (for holiday, not the bike)
- SRAM pg1050 12-28 cassette
- Castelli Difesa winter cap
- Multiple coloured cable ends

All from the CRC clearance sale, so less than £95 after TCB extra discounts this weekend...pedals were a particularly bargainous 32.99

Turns out there was extra bronze discount on https://www.merlincycles.com/altura-pel ... 01689.html when I signed in, so combined with the £2.50 bonus TCB I mentioned earlier that ends tonight for a £10+VAT buy and normal TCB, ~£29. Hopefully a bargain buy!

I was getting withdrawal - hadnt bought anything for maybe two months, which is not like me at all...

Louis Garneau Sprint helmet for 19.99 from Evans, plus some Park Tools emergency tyre boots to get the free postage.

Bought to replace the Carnac Aero lid I picked up from PX earlier this year - finally resolved that was a little too big for me so this should be a suitable replacement aero/cold weather helmet...

Well, Chainreaction actually had some in stock...BC discount...rude not too (and, it must be at least 10 days since I bought anything)

I bought one of those Carnac lids from PX a while ago too. Whilst the colour scheme matches my proper road bike, there's just not enough airflow through it for my liking (sweat a-plenty) - definitely a cold weather lid

Photobucket has always been crap imo this'll be the end of them if you ask me - good

Finally managed to order one of these - had a load of PE kit to order for my daughter who is starting big school in September, and they have now reduced their free postage to £30 - so order duly placed

daniel_b

Bought one of these a few weeks ago, and have yet to use it, but it has come down in price at Wiggle.

Spoke to them on chat, and asked if rather then me re-ordering, them paying to post it to me, me packaging the other one up, sending it back at their cost, and then them refunding me, whether they would simply refund me the difference and cut out all the faff, and save themselves two lots of postage, but they don't do that apparently - seems very strange, so I have re-ordered it, and will send the other one back in due course :?


Appreciate there is admin in processing an adhoc refund, but can't believe it would take any more effort than processing a full refund for an item - AND they save two lots of postage, but there we go, thought it was worth a try.

Also this afternoon received a shipment notification for a Vulpine order I placed on February 20th, and received ages ago
Guess it must have been stuck in their exchange server somewhere for some 5 months.......

Same here. :shock: Checked PayPal account but thankfully no more money taken. Intrigued to see if a 2nd winter cap will arrive in due course...bizarely had been contemplating sending the original cap back as probably too warm for me, and just got a Castelli Difesa cap from CRC which will no doubt breathe better and have some water resistance. Not sure whats happening with Vulpine's ordering system...

meanredspider

Since they went into administration (and have been "bought"?) I'm not sure I'd risk sending anything back to "Vulpine" as I'm really not sure what your legal position would be.
