Thanks for the pointer to these Fahrenheits! I've been looking for a pair of winter road shoes for the last two years and never came across anything but MTB shoes. When I saw these I stuck in an order to CRC, got 15 EUR off thanks to the discount code mentioned on the bargains thread, and they arrived yesterday.
They fit well and seem the business - so far just tried out around the house though. Will be out next weekend, and given the forecast (1 deg C early next Sat :eek:) I will be breaking them in along with a new pair of Endura Thermolite Pro bib longs.
The credit card will be taking a break now.0 -

Bought some Reelights today. Rl720 so top of the range all the way!
http://shop.reelight.com/bicycle-lights/20-rl700-set/
They didn't charge me vat and there not avaliable via other sites, so I'm not sure they turn up. But here's hoping
My lights have arrived and been fitted. They are much better than I was expecting
I've been down a few unlit lanes and they give you enough light to see potholes etc but you do need to slow down a bit.
I never have to worry/think about lights ever again!0 -

Current bike is a couple of years old now and have kind of been looking for a couple of months for a replacement - although I'll still keep the old one as a winter/commmuting/touring bike. Tried a really nice BMC SL01 in Base2Race but in the end I knew I wouldn't get away with dropping 2.5k on a bike past the better half. Decided to buy the bits and build myself over the winter so I'll have a nice bike come Easter and sure it's like paying for it in installments then...

Then onto CRC for a few parts that I had promised I wouldn't be buying till next month - but they were in the sale!

(and just noticed the stem I bought is actually a mtb one - Doh!)
Credit card now sat on the corner of my desk whimpering... 0 -

Congratulations! I believe you were hovering with the idea of buying a new wheelset for a while? What was it in the end that swayed you with these over the others you were considering?My hand slipped, should have these at some stage next week....
And may I be so rude to ask you the damage!?0 -

Screw it. It can be my project bike for this year, might just about have it ready for next winter by the time I scrape the parts together.
If I strip down the existing MTB and dispose of the frame, the missus might not even notice 0 -
