Brilliant!

Why don't you go to LBS and try them on first, it saves you alot of worrying and bother and if you find a size thats good but slightly overpriced compared to the internet, ask them to price match and if they do its a win-win situation.

after ive finished My Geography Degree…

Funny you say that, choosing to study Geography just to be against my parent's will has probably been my biggest regret yet. I should have done Economics or Finance. When you realise you want to be at the very top, you also realise that a 'geography degree' stuggles to be recognized in a world already filled to the brim with businese and econ graduates.

A very good friend of mine rides a blue Gios conversion, its gorgeous but why would you want to s/s such a lovely road bike?

Its a secret ploy to reduce the lifespan of cars to boost future sales.

I think you'll find its also a perfectly good excuse for a new winter bike next year 😆

£18.99 for some pipe…i think not

Was there a few weeks ago, Essouria is an amazing place, really good seafood and even in December the beaches were swimable though it would be a half-day trip itself getting to the atlas/sahara.

London's absoulutely fine on the main roads, i only have to tackle a 400 yard of backstreet snow in the morn so i'm still on the road bike. Will get icy tomorrow so might have to finally take the mtb out but the snow certainly isn't getting me on public transport eugh..no.. absolute chaos this afternoon.

I came

Health and safety. that is all.

Yup no snow at all around central, rode in on the roadie to work…no play in the snow for me today 🙁

Bananaworld! were you serious about the ride tomorrow? its been a while mate! I need to get into central tomorrow morn but will probably be free in the afternoon if you are up for it. Looks like i'll be riding the mountain bike all day 😆

As long as you're riding with good mates you'll have a blast no matter what, though a 2 week tour around the Scottish trail centres would be nice 🙄

A brillant set of pictures i think (in a totally non sarcy way) i'm sure its the same everywhere on a friday night but have never seen it captured so well through a camera lense!

The website looks hungarian, lets just hope they don't think the UK looks like this all the time…

Really good website, may take a while before someone uploads highlights though so I normally watch the next day.

I originally thought it was the Jawbone too but if you compare them, the jawbones' are more angular and the lens on it isn't actually that big. I like the Wiley X's goggle-like design which should be good for keeping the mud out but unfortunately been round a few shops in Cambridge this afternoon, couldn't find them anywhere 😕

'the man making almost two complete revolutions' hahaha brilliant! The Chinese one similarly epic!

Yes! they definitely look like they're Wiley X but can't really put my finger on which ones though whatdya think?

The Brick

Or the Jake

Better prices than Oakley's too, may have to get friends from the US to order me a pair, the UK dealers are really expensive considering the RRP 😯

I Just woke up and its sunny outside. fml.

Same here. deadline is 12.30pm tomorrow so plenty of time to check those wierd grammatical mistakes you make when you've only had 4 hours sleep previous nights….

holy crap! is that safe?

Just a popularity (and not photo) contest in my opinion. I voted for you anyway.

They've put it after the watershed, no more sensorsing this season?

By any chance are you wearing contact lenses? I find that my eyes only water when i have them on (with clear lense glasses on top), if i have my normal prescription glasses on (if i forget to put contacts on) they tend to be fine!

Sent to me last week

The Commentary is just brilliant!

Nice and short tutorial

A Dolan mountain bike? never seen that before!

Shimano says it bleeds up to 2 brakes so i'm guessing down to half the bottle. It helps if the previous mineral oil is a different colour because you'd know when the new colour oil comes through its finished.

Cheers for the advice guys, i guess i just have to bite the bullet….

Yup thats true, his overtake wasn't noticeably enough for me to report it to the police so i guess my statement still stands.

But what i want to know now is what i can do?

Even though he did i've already left my statment with the police which is pretty much what i wrote in my 1st post.

Will it be useless if i join the CTC now?

Technically he overtook me a few moments before as i remember he was behind me down the road. Can't remember if he indicated. He seemed really pissed off that the crowd were really sympathetic to me…possibly apologetic?

Okay, so i gather i'm probably screwed, but is there anything i can/should do other than wait? Shall i try to file a partial claim?

DezB is it possible if you could send me a copy too please. E-mail should be in profile. Thanks in advance!

This is wierd, i asked this question to a few of my mates yesterday.

P.S i still don't know the answer

Leigh.

Past through it for lunch during LeJoG this summer, there was a shared emotion between us that it was definately not a place to be in a full lycra gear. Also saw bunch of 8-10 year old's blowing up condoms and being a general nuisance….

I still haven't been able to sleep at night 😛

Twas a brilliant ride, possibly my all time wettest but had plenty of lol moments. Special thanks to Mark? who saved the day with a spare pair of brake pads (would have been a long walk back…)

Big thanks to CG for leading us, also thanks to the On-One singlespeeder that went to get a chain tensioner midday for the delicious cake, as well as the cookie man. apologies for not remebering your names! and to knottie8 for the pan shot of me in the gully! one for facebook i think!

Until next time!
