    They are very good wheels and hubs, I've got the blue Touche with Aerorage but in black. The upgrade is highly recommended colour, obviously, is personal!

    I've also got a blue Touche with black Aerorage- well worth the extra £85 IMO.

    I actually wanted the white wheels, but when I got my Touche about 3 weeks ago they only had black Aerorage and didn't know when they would be getting the white or yellow wheels back in, so it may be worth giving Pearson a call to see what they say.

    well, should be getting my bike this week,just had a phone call from Pearsons about my order,I was going for flatbars but he rang to make sure I really wanted flats lol(very nice bloke )this was one thing I was finding hard to make my mind up on,as I have never had drops before but he won and talked me into the drops,so just waiting now....

    o and at least I can now go abit crazy with bar tape!!! or is the rule the same as shoes and socks they have to match? Black touche with orange bar tape!!!

    That sounds about right...I'm picking mine up soon (who knows, I might bump into you?) Never had drops either and they convinced me they were a good idea when I was getting mine specced up. Didn't like the look of courier bars, so I guess there wasn't really any other choice. Guess I'll see how it goes...if you see a man on a touche, practically lying down, with swept back handlebars (in about 6 months), there'll be a good chance that it's me. Guess it's time to man up now the pashley's out the door!

    they would have put the standard flatbars on a touche if you asked,that was what I was going to do,not the courier bars,maybe they have ran out of flatbars? no I'm sure they talked me into it cos they beleive drops are the best,my problem was I like to keep my hands next to the brakes but with drops thats not always going to happen,anyway lets hope no one else is waiting for a touche or ours might not be ready till next week!
