Polyester lining on the one you suggest – any outdoor activity wearing that would have me sweating like Josef Fritzl on MTV Cribs.

with Belstaff you are getting Barbour quality but with the premium on price due to TV presenter fashion status

do yourself a favour and buy a proper barbour, rewaxing is possible and mines still going strong after 10 years of use

Used to be terrible with money always on the overdraft and credit card buying things I didn’t need. Loans for expensive cars. No savings. Got made redundant during the last recession and the act of being jobless and penniless was a real kick up the ar53. Managed to get a good job a few years down the line after doing a bit of freelance work and cleared my unsecured debts. Now my outgoings (mortgage food bills ) are half what I earn. Car is 12 yrs old and paid for. Only debt being the mortgage. I buy my bikes off eBay and when I have a bit of spare cash it goes in savings or the watch fund.

Nice garden.

It’s a problem!

id take the sprint off you if you choose to sell

I spent £70 on a used NAD C320 BEE and the sound quality through my tannoy floorstanders is superb.

mine too

Got a refurbished apple MacBook Air off eBay for £450. It’s been great so far

Thought you could download films purchased via your iTunes account?

Still ride my 92 Kona lava dome. It’s been a singlespeed for the last 12 years with middleburn cranks hope Hubs and has still got its original bb and headset. They made stuff to last in those days!

10 speed?

Thanks for the advice It’s for a 2 year old bike I’m looking at putting an offer on.

its for a bike Im looking to buy, not sell!

Bose QC35s here, i demoed loads and as they were on sale in the airport @£235 and i was just about to get on a 13 hr flight I took the plunge. theyre ace.

It does not matter the order in which the dogs are checked.

This is a subtle but different question. The order in which the dogs are sat is now relevant.

I only work on logic

MF and FM are one and the same so do not count twice.

It could be any of the following options

both dogs are male

one dog is male and one dog is female

So 50% chance.

Having spent 3 years working in construction in Vietnam that looks pretty standard for them.  The constant battle I had with contractors to improve their safety standards.  They just don’t see the risks they are taking.

A gravel bike is good for a very specific type of riding for me. That’s my winter commute which is 50/50 country lanes and bridle ways/ Paths. Couldn’t have it as an only bike as i like long distance road riding on the road bike and big days trail smashing in the peaks on my full sus waaaaaay too much.

You Should consider Vietnam. When I was there last year I met lots of expats teaching English and no shortage of work. $1000 month pay seemed pretty good too.

Sounds like a deal maker then.. ill probably book a hotel and make a couple of two day weekends of it!

tires ordered yesterday are with royal mail today for delivery tomorrow, so its looking good.

just put an order in for some stuff this morning, already marked as being dispatched this afternoon!

Mine did. Got some roval slx for the commuter  depends which scheme your in.  Mines the Halfords cycle to work scheme.

I bagged a rapha hardshell classic winter jacket in the sale this spring, waiting for the weather to turn before putting it to the test. its bright yellow and seems well made and was £150 ( i think theyre back to full price now)

I sold one recently for £250 was a fender blues junior, great little amp, lovely clean sound too. you’ll need to up your budget slightly and keep an eye om eBay or reverb.com The blackstar HT5 is also good for home use.

Nottingham EvansCycles is about 150m from the Halfords cycle republic, not sure it makes sense for them to merge but which store would be the one to shut down??

well Ive got an order for £100 of stuff in my basket, ill hit the check out button on Friday, if they are still in business, which I sincerely hope they are.

I’d be looking at a whyte t129 on eBay. Seems to get good reviews and lots going for £1000-£1500.

Can recommend the basquemtb guys, especially the coastal one which is a bit more flowy and missus friendly!

Just about to put an order in for some new tyres, might wait till Monday and see what happens to avoid being House of Fraser-ed.

Mine are as follows:

a fleet of 9 road, cx and mountain bikes which always need to have something upgraded!

13 hi end guitars 9 of which purchased since turning 40, 3 years ago.

several drawers full of cycling jerseys

a large collection of wristwatches

but i am doing more bike riding than ever, events, weekends away, local rides and overseas trips to the alps etc.

I think ive come to the end of the purchasing phase though and Im now trying to enjoy what Ive got as my bank account is looking a little sorry for itself

ehhhhhh??? thought slash played a les paul, whats all this signature firebird nonsense?

Id day you should be looking at building your own from scratch, or get a geared road bike and ss it yourself?
