Today I asked my LBS to bar me...
He (the owner) just laughed and said "that'll be £138.97 then, thank you!"...

My little boy thrusting stuff upon me (showing remarkably good taste!) saying, " 'ere y'are, Daddy, get this", doesn't help either... :roll: :wink:

    Yeah, my LBS owner has taken his wife and son on a 4 week holiday through Honkers, Italy and Croatia.

    Guess who largely funded that!!!

    The last time i was in my LBS, the guy actually asked me if i was sure i really 'needed' that new top... Having just spent over £300 on apparantly nothing, i took his advice. Never known a shop keeper suggest i stop spending money!

    Until a year ago I lived a 5 min walk from Condor.

    We now live in a much more expensive part of town yet I'm saving a lot more money!

    I wonder why that can be? :roll:

    More expensive than round the corner from Condor? That's not a cheap area to live in! Where have you moved to? Chelsea?!

    Try Aldi"s cycling stuff it"s not bad.Apart from the plastic track pump which broke within a week.Cycling need not be expensive, says he who just spent over a grand on his latest steed,(worth every penny though)

    My LIDL track pump has been fine, however I'm realising that the cheap gloves I bought from LIDL and Decathlon don't offer enough cushioning for my hands and I'm getting numbness in my fingers
