    Came back from holiday today and it had arrived at the office...

    http://www.planet-x-warehouse.co.uk/aca ... elset.html

    Much of the afternoon was spent as follows:

    1) wander idly past holding Important File
    2) pick up bike with finger under top tube
    3) giggle
    4) wait 15 minutes
    5) go to step 1)

    It's the simple things in life really, isn't it?

    Very nice msw. Just wondering but did you go for the DA carbon wheels or the model Bs.

    I got this jersey in today's post. It is brilliant quality! Giordana made, a proper winter jersey that fits me perfectly. Am absolutely thrilled. And all for £13!

    Model Bs for me. I had enough Carbon Fear anyway and was already stretching the budget.

    Strange thing is, if you buy via ebay you pay postage, buy from the shop you don't :D

    Might only work if you are ordering a few though, so it would have to be team SCR or something...

    I just got a jersey from them (Yet Another Cycling Forum batch order- site admin took the details & money and ordered the lot). Batch price for 10 is £38.70 each, minimum order value £60, flat shipping rate of £17.20. Order 20, price goes down to £34.83 each. 35 (the YACF order) and it's £30.96. 50, £27.09, 100 (!) £23.22. Really excellent quality, they can do all sorts of custom designs.

    Depends which bike, as I'm sure LiT will agree!

    Or lime green (this is my LBS's display Maxima- not my colour choice, but I think I'd cope OK ;) ).

    Nope, that's a Perfecta- thought I'd put that one up for variety.

    I have to say, I'm with Il Principe on the green maxima colour scheme... but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

    I though it was my bike too, until I looked more closely and scrolled right!

    I would point out that I'd only want that Maxima if I got a whacking great discount. It's somewhat beyond my (purely theoretical for the time being) budget, even then. "I don't like the colour" works for used cars, after all....But if I was riding it, I wouldn't have to look at it.
    LiT's is lovely, think that Perfecta works really well, there's a Maxima with blue bits on Epic's site right now, but this is my favourite colour scheme of the Viners I've seen:

    bright green only works with chrome and black, and should never be used with other colours. People will realise this eventually.

    BTW, I prefer Jash's jersey design to mine, which was just for effect....
