Errrrrrrrrrr no! Well, yes... But I didn't want to spend that much.
It was only 44 quid off the Merlin clearance bit. No disc but I've got plenty of those!

Ordered a couple of weeks ago, arrived on Fri:

Of course, it's not as good as the real thing, but for under £6, and something I'm purely going to wear to prevent my nice watch getting wrecked, I think it's a farking bargain!
Everything works as it should do.

Does that say "GAPE" just above where it says shock resistant?

Excellent!

RevellRider

It also says 'War 21st Resist' where it normally says 'Shock Resist'

Yes, I actually only spotted the "War 21st Resist" bit yesterday.

Not "GAPE" but BAPE"

The watch is branded as "Bathing Ape" and it also has "Ape shall never kill Ape" written in big letters down the strap.

These Japanese are absolutely farking crackers.

I say again though £6

All the buttons on mine work as they should, and I'm quite capable of looking a right pr!ck without help from a watch thank-you-very-much.

i need all the help i can get, thats why i bought a white one!

As my normal pump is dog dirt - note dont belive all the reviews the mags give, the bonty air race is b*ll*cks!

some of these to make a torch mount for my new helmet!

and a X-Tools Crank Bolt Tool Hollowtech II to stop me chewing it up with pliers everytime i removed the cranks!

more to be bought soon!

A Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Ghia for a bargain-tastic trade price to cart all my MTB stuff in (The other half has to use our current car just about every day, which made it a bit tricky for me to disappear for a day of 2 wheeled fun). OK, it's not bike kit but its to help me do more MTB'ing...

Let me know how they go as i'm in the market for some decent lighting options, tried a rechargable Cateye one last week that set off a migraine it was that bright :oops:

this will probably sound odd to people who like cars but i really miss my mondeo(sad i know but i see a car as a machine, nothing more) it was massive inside, dead comfy, felt fairly nippy (although i will concede it actually moved quite slowly) and it was so economic, it virtually produced fuel as it drove along.

shame the flywheel started to eat itself, nothing a quick trip to www.webuyanycar(that needs about 1100 quids worth of work doing to stop it destroying itself at some point in the near future due to the completely retarded idea of making a flywheel out of 2 badly bonded diferent metals!).com couldnt sort out of course.

Just got mine, ordered another really they are really bright. batteries last an hour and a half on medium. Two will definately be bright enough for an hours blast round the local woods gonna order another mount for my helmet. You can get them on eBay for around 10-15 quid I got mine with a rear light and mount. Batteries and charger can be had online cheaply.

Nah, I can understand that.

Fords make good cars that are cheapish to run and drive very well for 'ordinary' cars - this'll be my fourth. Even though it has over 90k on the clock it felt pretty 'tight' and had a decent turn of speed for a diesel (I used to think that diesels were the work of Satan as the French drove so many of the feckers, but I may have to rethink that one now )

Some of these as a section of my rear cable is in a stupid position and gunks up after a few rides in nasty (normal) weather.

Decent review, we'll see.

One of these (actually just arrived) to replace my old Nokia. Don't have internet at home, so I tether it so I can post random sh1t. Get unlimited calls, text data (the joys of a business phone) but T Mobile don't like tethering so send me snotty messages about fair use. Used to get a few weeks before they started, first day with this and I blew their minds. Has H something or other and almost as fast as my previous broadband.
And so pretty.

A set of these, the first part for my new frame, which I'm still undecided on, though a Soul is looking likely:

There was a thread recently about breaking rear mech hangers which I thought was blx - and then I bent my rear mech hanger and so now I've ordered one.

I also bought some fish hooks from the solar system sized market in Shenzhen last week. And what I believe to be early onset leprosy.

on the back of finding out how much I'm being paid on monday, a 456SS frame. I really want a C456, but I'm a clumsy f**k and the weight's not a problem.

I rate all the dhb kit, all the stuff I've got works excellently and it's low cost.

An XTR BB to replace the not very long lasting Deore one. Stealth grey and should save me at least the equivalent of a belly button worth of fluff.

I've got a DHB waterproof jacket and its brilliant. Its not fully breathable as I got the cheapest one, but there are loads of zip vents in just the right places so I hardly ever get hot!

I'd get more DHB kit if I needed some waterproof trousers, money well spent in my eyes!

Yeah the difference in colour should make it last longer to be fair.
