    Gore Ride On Sealed Low Friction Gear Cable Set - White - Extra Long

    Not sure about white, might be a bit pimp considering there's no other while on the bike but I can't wait any longer for the black ones to be in stock. Pimp it is. :roll:

    a Wii for the missus as she's gonna be at home all day with the baby for a year, so i thought I'd treat her. I'm fully expecting her to be world table tennis champion by the time she gets back to work. Or i want my £130 back!

    if your missus manages to play Wii with a newborn baby at home you have to let me know. For the last 8 months my missus has moaned that looking after a baby is the hardest thing in the world and she has absolutely no time to herself to do anything!

    Haha, she's managing to get her fair share of sleep, that's for sure. It's amazing how much less he cries when I'm here, than when I'm at work apparently too!

    Make sure you thread the chain through it! Not like me who fitted according to the pictures and it didn't work!

    El-cheapo shock pump off Ebay. Let too much air out of my Epicon :P The sag is at 24mm but it bottoms out a little too easily for my liking.

    2 X Continental Ultra Gator Skin Tyres (700 x 25c) for the Focus. The rear Conti Contact that's currently fitted is a tad more 'slick' than it's designed to be...
