Limited edition because they're made of lego? UGLY brakes, dudes.

Two Camelbak Podium Chilljackets
As recommended on this very forum. They keep your iced Pimms cold for almost 3 hours in 25C temperatures. 8) You don't get a nasty rubber taste. And they match my bike :roll: Unfortunately my GF likes them too so I have to order some more. Cyclexpress are cheaper than Wiggle for these ATM.Bike1

I admire your optimism... 25C, not bloody likely. Still perhaps we'll have a summer next year.- 2023 Vielo V+1

I went to Epic Cycles today and, as per my thread, didn't buy a bike. But I didn't go away empty handed though - couple of bargainacious Parentini jerseys puchased plus (gasp!) a set of these http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/components/pedals/product/r540-spd-sl-road-pedals-10586 to bung on my old tourer!
And these to bung on my feet! (Mine are the more blingy white with red and black bits)

And about time too. All that other bling whilst slumming it with SPDs - its not natural
Some nice white shoes (these are v comfortable) and the grey cleats - you're good to go 8) .

Nice! I have those same shoes - they're excellent! And I got them from where? Yes, epic... Mine are black white and... white. They're great shoes.
Good luck with the SPD-SLs!0 -
Shouldn't ITB get himself some talisman to ward off the visits from the lady who can't be named?I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

Got these yesterday. Hmm, lovely, especially with my red & white Spesh Tarmac. White spesh bottle cages, bar tape, Look pedals, hudz, toupe saddle and white-wall Vittoria tyres. I belive the effect is a bit like raspberry ripple.
Looks even better when wearing full red & white Spesh factory team race kit and helmet.
Bike before some of the mentioned upgrades.

Cheers! If I don't reply this evening, you'll know I didn't have much luck and am lying on my side, somewhere in West Yorkshire, still firmly clipped in to my bike!
I think the only other colour option for the shoes now is and black and silver. I might have gone for those if they'd had them in but they
did look a bit like Adidas football boots in the catalogue so I think I made the right choice!Faster than a tent.......0 -
