Do you like tomatoes?

Thanks for re-issuing the Ride and Shine t-shirts (I assume that's entirely down to my emailed request!) 🙂

 

PS I like tomatoes in all forms

 

PPS "cute flange" <chuckles>

While Acros deserve all the hate they get for being front and centre with the whole headset cable thing, I think it's fair to point out that they were making terrible headsets long before then - they do not make "good headsets" as anyone who has had one crumble and fall out of a YT or commencal will testify

They probably do make some good headsets... but the shortest living set of lower headset bearings I've ever seen were in an Acros headset... and they came on the most expensive bike I've ever worked on, the year before that model changed to through headset cable routing. The top cap also used what can only be described as a single use plastic collar. That was binned and replaced by another brand's full metal alternative.

New Dissectors look great - a lighter/faster/slightly less grippy Assegai? Magic. Just wish the current weather was less Shortyish and more Assegai/Dissectorish.

Mocha Ride And Shine t-shirt ordered. I accidentally tumble tried mine from medium to a-bit-too-snug. Thanks for the timely discounts reminder; I was about to order their MTB guard. Saved me a few quid.

I don't want to be the grouch here but I'd be quite keen to buy e.g. T-shirts if they were true to size, the idea of a sizing lottery puts me off.

We are happy to exchange any mis-sized t-shirts.

Could we have inflation adjusted prices alongside historical prices for Stale Goods Friday bikes? Please?
