    I've just picked-up a Tesco Hydration pack from my local store at HALF-PRICE! 8)
    http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.100-0611.aspx

    They're cheap at their normal price of less than a tenner, but a silly price @ £4.89!!!!

    With 1.5L fluid capacity & plenty of room to store your road essentials, it's a fantastic buy for every day use. IMHO.

    A pink Tonelli (?) sportwool jersey. Looks very nice, though I sometimes wonder when one wears the thicker style jerseys with short sleeves...

    Tonelli appears to be furniture, did you get it online?

    eBay. Let me have another look at the labels... yep, definitely says Tonelli, and it's definitely a cycling jersey and not, say, a sofa.

    I may have pulled the trigger on a new build:

    Frame, Headset : Kinesis Decade Convert 2 in Black
    Forks: Kinesis RC05 Carbon
    Crankset: Miche Primato Advanced 50T
    BB: Miche Primato
    Handlebar: Cinelli Bianca Palm
    Stem: Cinelli Bianca
    Brakes: Campagnolo Veloce 10 Black
    Brake levers: Cane Creek SCR-5 Black
    Bar Tape: Cinelli Red
    Chain: KMC 1/8 Red
    Tyres: Vittoria Rubino Pro Red/Black

    Temporarily transferring the following from the Touche:

    Seatpost and saddle
    Wheels - Halo Aeroage
    Freewheel - ENO 16T

    May have it in time for drinks on the 18th although I'm worried about getting the chainline sorted.

    not quite a commuting part, but was such a good deal i wanted to share....
    i just picked up a pair of '09 fox 36 rc2 which retail at £770 for £482 new from cyclesurgery website!
    Only bad news is i do have to wait a week for them to relocate the fork from instore back to the mail order warehouse, a small price to pay for nearly £300 off.
    I'm soooo happy :D

    I bought a Johnny Loco in Amsterdam last September. I've got several bikes - fast, touring and now slow !

    I'm now into "slow" on a bike cause it gets me into town faster than the car, means I don't sweat when I go to the station in my suit and I've got a great big basket on the front that makes people stop and stare and let me out in front of their shiney nice Porche they're sitting in and getting bored.

    Me, I'm happy as larry on my Johnny Loco when pootering around town and going out with the kids. Leather handlebars, big fat leather seat with springs a sofa would eb jealous of and a riding position that allows you to wave at passers by like Jim Carrey in The Truman Show.

    Quite - if you are going to advertise unhealthy, nasty food on a cycling Jersey of all places at least make it funny and advertise Pukka Pies!

    Lol - And you're just the man to investigate?! :lol:

    In the meantime, I bought some Endura Humvees for me and some gumwall Michelin Dynamics and a new chain for my mates late 80s Peugeot Triathlon I'm renovating. Where though, can you get white handlebar plugs these days?

    I predict that this single post will spark responses which will take the thread from 113 pages to at least 115 pages.
