Yes,

they wear brogues, circle-rimmed steel glasses, a copy of Rouleur stuffed in their back pockets and have a pink stripe down one side with the word "Rapha" needlepointed into their fleece near the back.

The also dont smell apparently 🙂

That's no ordinary sheep....it's got a vicious streak a mile wide.

I think they'd all look pretty bald by now, what with all the merino clothes for sale... 🙂

The rims. Spokes don't go in as normal as the internal face of the rim is sealed (UST rim an' all) so there's a "funny" nipple (oooer fnnarr etc etc) This may result in a less than true wheel...We shall see.

Mind you, now you say, that sheep...
