    Thanks. It's a Paul Smith/Rapha wallet that probably cost more than it will ever be asked to hold :)

    Oddly I got an Auto Glym car-cleaning kit; I understand that some people think cars are worth cleaning. Can I safely use the Auto Glym on carbon?
    The car shall remain washed only by the rain, as it has for the past few years.
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    What is it like in the flesh Antlaff? I would quite like one. How fitted/warm is it. What sort of riding would it suit?

    and both have been tested and are lovely, I also got the 100 climbs book which is fun, spotted the odd mistake etc (mainly names etc) but fun enought for a fiver.

    I'm a 40" chest with a slightly swollen midriff (now a 34" waist though) and I must say the large is a perfect fit. It is slim fitting but it feels and fits amazingly.

    I have not been able to get out in it as it's still below zero here in Portush and the roads are frozen solid - but the temp is to rise to 5c by Tuesday so hope to get out on a quick run to test it out.

    Will report back if I get out - if not I will use on my commute on Wednesday.
