the fact the Pete Scullion sends us whisky every year does not influence our choice of covers

Only 20cl though. STW staff obviously easily swayed.

You're not stuck with that stem on the Focus, but you have to have an Acros headset (which are already known for their poor quality) with a great big hole in it. Really is an awful, ugly design.

*is dissapoint*

I came in here, all ready to complain about the price of something, and the prices of everything listed are only bloody reasonably reasonable*

I don't pay my subscription to have nothing to complain about, you know. Hurrumph.

* Well, apart from the trainer and the Santa Cruz, but we all know that normal laws of economics don't apply to triathletes and Santa Cruz owners (and it's a pretty large Venn overlap there too, I'd imagine).

Pretty sure very few triathletes own SC bikes, they don't make a time trial bike for a start.....

That is a Downing Street proven fact.
mmm, that is not a whisky I have tried before.

The sailing salopettes - look just like the ones I have had for years from many manufacturers, Triboard/Decathlon included, and while they are waterproof and warm, I am not sure about riding in those..As I said on the POC dungaree thread, I am interested to try as I am a big salopette fan.

I wish I had the money for that Bronson.

I'd spend it on a Ducati Scrambler and have a fair wedge leftover.

Those headset/stems... maybe we'll see a return of the "best place to drill my frame" posts in the not too distant future?

Yep but he's a 20cl sized person so it balances out

Can carbon frames be repainted like that Starling? I'd love my bike to be all sparkly black with black decals

I'm fine with the dungies. In fact its great to see stuff on FGF that doesn't need a remortgage to buy. More of this.
