Nice. Should have kept it euro and gone for a Skoda Octavia estate with the livery of your favourite pro team.

Or a 159 estate, I think (when) I get a Man car it will be one of these for getting to sportives and races.

Every time you mention cars I will have to remind you that you said you'd only drive a Murcielago! :P:)

Does the bike rack go on the boot or do you get a tow bar?

The Murcielago is a pig of a car, now the gallardo.....

Tasty or not?

I also like this one (particularly the "maglia nera" reference) but it's too expensive.

Rapha are out of stock of their lightweight jerseys and I need some mediterranean holiday gear.

Yes, I know that black is a bad idea in 30+ degree heat, but at least I can bake in style.

Other ideas welcome. Usual impossible requirements for avoiding looking too Freddish apply.

whats with the buttons on the front? fake nipples?

ROK ON · 03-06-2010 10:39PM

For your hols?

DZ Nutz fullzip lightweight jersey.
I posted link a few weeks back on this site but it was full of viruses.

Maybe check again.

The Giro jersies are pretty lightweight. I have the pink leaders one. Nice. Very comfy, but not full zip.

On the prendas site the Xacabeo Galicia jersey is nice, white and full zip. Perfect for the med.

I was asking myself that exact same question about an hour ago. It is tasty but I went for these 2.

Are you claiming dibs on both the capo and san marco?

What's sizing like on the capo? How long did delivery take from racycles?

I'm claiming dibs on the san marco. Have had it a while now

As for Capo, I love their stuff and would love to buy more but I only have this one in black.

Delivery was very quick from RA. The website did blow up after I ordered so I rang them straight away and they were able to confirm that my order went through OK.

Sizing: I went for small jersey and medium bibs and I have plenty of room. I reckon those sizes would fit you. You are welcome to try for size.

Just got myself a pair of Ortlieb Back Roller Panniers. Everyone i know who has they swears by them, so hopefully should be still going strong in 10 years!:D

Coronal · 05-06-2010 08:11PM

New tyres (badly needed)

Aero bars (not so badly needed, but they were there and looking so nice!)

Few other bits for cleaning and the like.
Expensive day :eek:

The only problem with the Ortlieb panniers is the lack of a upgrade path, or any future requirement for replacement panniers, ever

Trying out ordering from bike24.com

Ritchey Comp Logic II Road Oversize 31.8 Handle Bar
Ritchey Comp V2 Oversize 31.8 Stem
Easton Cork Bar Tape
Kool Stop V-Brake Pads (red)
Hope Head Doctor Expander Set 1 1/8
Park Tool CCP-44 Crank Extractor

Will be interesting to see if the Hope Head Doctor works, I've never really liked star nuts.

I was interested in the head doctor as well alright, but saw terrible reviews when I went googling. Got a star nut tool and it makes it very easy

Got myself a pair of these:

I would have got black if they had them - a bit more discrete. I don't know if I'll be able to live up to blue!
