my pain is upper back related the physio thinks, back gave way couple months ago so heading for mri soon to check for any other causes. As said many times, take it seriously find a treatment that works and even when gets better stick with it.

very jealous

not all hernias are reducible

whichever way is best for you then go see a gp

There is no sane/logical reason to do it.

“I may not always love you”

cool cheers

i guess follow up might be an issue but that is incredibly decent given how unique the work is

that’s not a river that’s pure distilled singlespeediness flowing down the cheeky trail

if dont mind me asking what sort of ballpark for price?

in Berlin? how does it work, do you have the idea or just tell him to do what he wants?

Well the longest lasting I have ever come across are Howies – but I’ve not found a design I like from them for years now. Still wearing 10 year old ones which are in great nick….

what he said. Morvelo are good though

EDIT: and twinsix

Doesn’t seem like there are any radar path clear/black vented glasses?
Not that I have 200 quid to drop on sunnies anyway

gutted won’t be there :'(

Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono which is my diving watch so gets used for it intended purpose despite being a £4k watch.

I love this, applied to bikes, cars anything really-high end kit should be built to do a job not just look the part imho

I’ll have a look at tissot

Didn’t find a CW that I clicked with tbh, nice though they are

In fact out of the uniform watches it’s only the 250 i like so the braun above doesn’t do much for me

As for the IWC, one day, one day (there’s a jeweller in Nottingham that stock them, not sure whether I’m happy that they look just as nice in the flesh…)

They’re nice gents and both are proper brands which brings me back to my original question-if spending significant money should you stick with the big names?

Btw I would include stowa as a proper brand ie a watchmaker first and foremost it’s not just big names I mean by that

Yeah the watch that kicked everything off for me is slightly more expensive..

Anyway the point in this instance is not so much that it costs and arm and a leg but that if spending that much should I really be looking at ‘proper’ watches. I’m looking at it as something that will hopefully be passed on in years to come.

if got some chainrings lying around then experiment, i had 42:16 but using 39:18 more recently for races, much better in slow corners imho

3/4 bib knickers, a collaboration between Gore and Assos a few years ago and sadly no longer available these days.

The F.I.Gore, tried to order some of those at the time, looked excellent!

Got some normal length versions, great shorts and good price too. Spoke to Gore shortly before left bike shop about getting more and they said they weren’t actually meant to get to UK market….

I had similar symptoms last year (and only couple years older than you) culminating in a baddish spasm during a triathlon. Settled down relatively quickly and I could finish the race but saw a sports physio who helped quite a lot.

Fast forward to 4 weeks ago and whilst examining a kid’s ear my back gave way 🙁 Waiting for an mri in mid april and will hopefully put together a long term plan. I’ve been swimming this week but prob be a while before can use the bike properly. My advice would be to find something that you can do long term and stick to it, i got slack on my exrecises and i’m sure it’s not a coincidence. Prob be doing pilates, core work and swimming much more in the future.

hmm maybe i should just get a vented lens for the m frames then. One day I’ll get the all singing all dancing clear to black radars or jawbones 😀

if you’re feeling flush how about some rapha? can even turn up the legs when cycling*

*this is known to be impossible with other jeans

Apologies to Dan Barham 🙁

Liking victor lucas’s stuff

I forgot to add Timm Koelln[/url]

crosslight looks tidier than disco IMHO, no idea if any dif in weights?

I need to read up on dif between the dif photchromic lenses

is there anywhere people know of that do them cheaper than oakley?

Cheers will see if can try some

very nice

+1 for lezyne

weird the title has been abbreviated, link

cheers, loads of responses and I’ll be in touch with a couple of you

will do, cheers!

it would be as part of a medical elective so 6 weeks working in a hospital and 3 weeks to travel. Got links to hospitals in each country, uni might stop us from going to sudan which was my first choice so trying to get an idea of what each country is like from people’s first hand experiences if possible

actual physical mail rather than email. damn i wonder how they managed it, light hearted banter not hateful this end i should add!

we also have a tin of spam that gets passed back and forth (well we leave it in each others house) oh the craziness of it all

ah, any photographicals of the offending item?

some people think socks and sandals are a good look

EDIT:

Having seen the original cuff link thread including pictures of the official merchandise this made me laugh

Didn’t see that thread, official merchandise identical to sticker or wildly dif?

if you’re going to knock out fakes then at least do fakes which look like the original!

needs enve rims to complete the look imho (and sort out the stem and seatpost, enve too?) but a cracking looking bike

Sam you have rekindled my faith sir
