Karn Evil 9 eh? That takes me back….
And an extra 35 quid to have a small rear light and 100 less lumens on the Lumina? Seem a bit steep.
Obsessed with pumps though…What’s Gannin on?
There’s a pumps grouptest in the next issue.
New middleburn rings, fantastic, hope the uno ring for the RS8 cranks isn’t far behind.
The Polaris ladies wear is a gorgeous colour.
The Polaris clothing shown is not on their website.
They’ve got a lot of jam that needs seeing to.
cinnamon_girl: It’s new 2015 gear. Look out for a review once I’ve had chance to ride in it!
So the Lumina Flare has a red light and 100l less, and it’s 35 quid more?
singletrackjenn – thanks, shall look forward to your review then!
