    went into cyclesurgery the other day for some shoes, nearly came out with an XT crank. only thing stopping me was my parents reaction when i got home and the serious lack of money at the minute...
    I said hit the brakes not the tree!!

    Sheeps - SLX cranks and flat pedals - fine choices!! :wink::lol::lol:
  • The trouble with hitting the brakes is that forward momentum still carries you forward - and it may still be unavoidable to head-but the tree and show the tree you mean business by scraping its bark with your tender skin - just to let the tree know your not some wimp from the country, but a hard nut...trouble is we always come of worse cos the tree is wearing cycle armour in the form of a product called bark - Duh ;)

    I definitely don't have the money and I only bought a new bike 4 months ago, but it's soooo nice...

    Wish I'd never started reading this thread now...I'm actually hunting down exotic white bits to stick on the Atitude, which is somewhat farcical given my brief convo' with the bloke at my LBS yesterday - "It's designed to be ridden through shite...yet the saddle's white. Makes no sense..."

    He just grinned and said I'd be after some white grips before long.

    :D I know!

    They're like tits on fish, so I'm amazed I even managed to find one
  • Hey Carbonfibre you can get a pair of riser haldebars in Powder white to mmatch your saddle and Stix has some cranks in Pearly-White to match your handlebars and saddle - Hell you can go the whole hog and have your frame re-sprayed in powder white then, when you ride through shite you'll have a 'natural' colour-change - until you wash it off :lol:

    I have this problem all the time - the latest thing screaming at me is a pair of Oakley frames. I'm not much of a sunglasses man either on the town or on the trails but I've been frothing at the gills for a pair lately.

    So far I've been strong and the dreadful weather of this week has validated my decision not to succumb.

    I was looking at some Oakley sunnies. But I need prescription lenses, so would have to order some in special, for the lens / frame combo that I wanted. So the price was an astronomical £250!!!

    :shock: :evil:

    Too expensive, I think. Will have a look around for some more, unless anyone has any ideas. Some saftey-esque clear prescription lenses would be damn good too. Anyone any ideas?

    PS, I have thought about just getting 'normal' glasses from the opticians, but they don't do shatter-proof plastics, and I wouldn't want glass!!!

    Cheers guys!

  • I have Oakley Goggles - they were the £29 ones in Red and black cheque design and as I wear glasses they fit just nice over my glasses and keep out the muck and rain whenn the weather is foul - and in Northumberland, it can be really foul if we get seventy miles winds coming down from Scotland. These goggles are the works and don't steam up - so you don't need prescription lenses! Go to your local Bike shop and try a pair on 8) - you'll be glad you did. :D
