Still showing £2 to me. Amazon prices do go up and down more frequently than a whore's drawers though, so I wouldn't be surprised if you see a different price.

L&M lights at Merlin at around 40% off

I've just ordered this one (the Stellar 400) which seems good at this price

http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/ProductDe ... _EH8560319

I have the L&M Vision 360 on my lid and I'm very pleased with it - esapecially as I can top up the battery from my PC

Do you have to run around under the shower to get wet? Blimey.

BTW check out Cycle Surgery if you're after less than half price branded bibs.

Strange name for a jacket. Not sure of the exact translation but it's some sort of mild cus or moan. If something's gone tits up one of my cusomers mutters "o mannaggia mannaggia" under his breath. My uncle uses it too, so it's quite a mild term. Is it because they are moaning about the wind?

It's the Italian term for "Damn it!".

I've learned to be incredibly careful with Italian swear words. I worked in a steel mill as my first job and I was overseeing the installation of some Italian kit. I realised that the Italian engineer I was working with was using some choice language - but I didn't realise quite how choice - their lovely combination of religious characters (Eve, Mary etc) and sexual insults - until I asked someone Italian....

Thank you. I should know but my Italian mostly comes from holidays with my gran as a kid, and the remainder is technical knowledge of classic cars. There are some glaring omissions, swearing and cursing are definitely lacking.

Oh I don't get that :oops: It's been a long week and I've had a beer out in town, and have just finished my first Glenmorangie, that's my excuse

EDIT: The following day I get it, you are alluding to me being slight in stature - your mostly correct, except for my tum

Not after branded bibs as such, have one pair of Nike ones, and a pair of santini ones which are fine, but spooted this offer, and reviews seemed to be glowing.

Irritatingly they arrived today, and although the Evans labels showed two as medium and two as small, the actual mavic labels reveals they managed to send me 4 small ones :?

They feel mostly ok, but I can't commit that much money without trying the next size up to be sure, so I am taking them back to a store tomorrow, and have re-ordered 2 more mediums, and mailed them to inform them of the error, and to ask them to check before sending this time - lets see if they take notice.

Plus the jacket would have cost twice what the Spank cost

An emergency rain cape from decathlon, tenner. In size xs too, this not.commuting by bike has really shed the weight, I've got abs now
Anyway I digress.

Best fit of any cheap jacket I've tried and plenty of reflectives.

Bargainissimo!

As it's regularly below freezing here from Nov to March, I don't have too many concerns on that front. My biggest worry is the abuse I'll get in the office for looking like a MotoGP refugee...
