You’re not wrong! I remember seeing a Dali exhibition in Florence when I was Interrailing. The bronze models of those leggy elephants in the picture above were amazing. The plaster casts of somebody’s anus were not.
The steepest parts of the Snowdon Llanberis path were somewhat challenging on 32t front x 36t rear earlier this year. I’m not saying that a 42t sprocket would have made all the difference, but it would have helped!
When I’ve seen him playing the outside channels, he has linked very well with Watson. You’re right though, it’s a very young, inexperienced set of replacement backs in that England squad.
Money talks these days. Hardly surprising given the attrition rate due to injury. Careers can be very short so it makes sense to rinse the French clubs for a few Euros whilst your knees and shoulders still work.
The Light Bicycle rims are great. I ride a set laced to DT 240 hubs. I’ve also ridden Flows, but not the EX version. As I’ve no experience of the Syntace wheels, the question I’d ask is whether it’s worth spending an extra £200+ on carbon rims/bladed spokes to save less than 200g?
I must say that I really enjoyed the culture that certain nationalities have brought to Rome and Barcelona on recent trips.
How nice of them to check that my wallet was on my person and that I had not dropped it.
