gotta be the Chris King titanium headset - why ???
Replacing a perfectly good Thomson Elite seatpost with a Masterpiece just [i]because[/i]. Replacing silver Juicy carbons with white ones just to coordinate better. Replacing Pro2 hubs, king headset, hope skewers and seatclamp with the exact same models just to change colour scheme. Fancied a hardtail, so bought a Cannondale Taurine 1 without ever even seeing one before. Changing rear shock brand just to match the fork brand... It's a sickness... What can I say?
Right, if it's branded and to do with bikes, it'll be hopelessely extravagant.
I avoid all that crap but a chap at work put it in perspective for me.
I went to the bike shed and he was stood looking at my bike. He asked about the fact that it was fixed and was properly interested and non-judgemental about the whole thing.I asked how he was getting on cycling to work and after some discussion he told me his bike had cost him hundred quid from halford two years back.
Which was nice. I avoided, at this point, mentioning that my cranks on my commuter, cost 130 quid.
Good work Njee (from last week) - just printed that off for the wife !
Easton XC One Wheelset for a commuter. Helped prove light wheels are great. Also helped prove once I took them off road they last about 2 minutes before a spoke goes.
