Catalogue arrived in post (probably because I bought some brakes from them), it's actually bigger than the latest Yellow Pages.

I don't have a wonky enough table to prop up with it!

Yep, same massive lump yesterday.

I've convinced myself there's nothing in it I want

I must check them out...German online retailers seem to be the way to go right now, in spite of the tanking pound.

They did a 2 for 1 deal for me. One for Rata Dog, and one for Dog Rata, if you see what I mean.

I about shat myself when I heard It coming through the letterbox , some cracking gear In it . Makes me even more angry with Canyon for there poor aftersales service when you see what Rose sell there stuff for and there delivery charges are also lower than Canyon.

3 of them arrived at our house. Nothing to do with signing everybody up on Facebook with them to get £10 vouchers 😀

I couldn't open my front door properly when I got home because of the humungous catalogue wedged in the way!

Kind of insane considering I've only ever bought from their website tbh. Not impressed.

(though I'll forgive them as they sent me a nice bowl with my first order)

OTOH I imagine it's made everyone who gets upset about big CRC boxes die of fury, so that's probably progress.

I'd rather they sent a PDF download instead of a small bit of Brazilian rain forest. Maybe they could make a donation to some sustainable woodland project.
Bloody ridiculous, ah tell thee!
[i]check out page 966. Who's a happy boy! [/i] - well, at least we know who got the wood.....

My missus just checked out page 966, and is now demanding to know why I don't resemble that chap after cycling through the winter months. I generally have to tie some string to my todger in order to be able to find it again when I've been out for a few hours on the bike. Is this a blatant germanic slight to make up for previous lacklustre performances on their part (don't mention ze voor..) 🙂

Yep. Pointless waste of a tree. Straight to recycling.

Yes, another person getting a fright when it landed on the doormat!

I've used them several times for clothing and have been extremely impressed. It's nice to see what other girlie clothing manufacturers are out there and they do 'plus' sizes too.

Got mine too - how impressive does 'rose bike world' look though???
Is that all one shop, or is it a corner of a shopping centre or something?
Also, I didn't realise they make their own frames - the AM ones look sehr tasty....

Well I think its great, spent an hour flicking through it last night. Reckon it will be kept and referred to regularly till the next one comes. Their bikes seem to be great value but I don't like the looks.
