In the current trend, got one of these last week:

cratoni%20terron%20red_white-500x500-700x700.jpg

Cratoni Terron in red and anthracite. Seriously comfortable and light, with the added benefit of not looking stupid

That's actually a nice looking helmet, put it up on some scales and tell us the weight

I don't like anchors on my head thanks

Now officially a proper cyclist, no more using my cheap commuter gear for my evening or weekend rides

Absolutely thrilled with the kit, a lot more comfortable than expected. I now agree its worth spending a few extra quid for clothing for the longer rides!

decided to pick up a new jersey for the ROK, wanted the rapha etape jersey as it had the date of the ROK on it, but it sold out in 1 night before i pulled the trigger. had heard the torm jerseys were nice and very similar to the raphas, so decided to give one a go

well impressed so far, fit is perfect. will get it's first wear on the ROK on saturday

Got one myself last week, and they are *very* nice -certainly very close in feel to Rapha, and bloody good value compared

Ah I know mate cheers. I left the house in a rush running a few mins late
and skipped the normal preride tyre pressure check and just wanted
a quick blast to get it up in the ballpark etc.

They're still in China, but should be here soon...

Can't get in trouble for buying them after this other reason to have left the card at home! :eek:

how much does it weigh could you not have got a carbon fiber one

shaka · 04-07-2013 11:17AM

@ Tiny explosions Why did you go titanium over carbon ? Surely not worth the extra cost .

I'm not wearing it, so weight don't bother me... though technically, part of it is carbon...

Now, I wonder if you can get a nice Carbon Fibre wedding band...

good reason. the other being that as soon as you put the second ring on that finger all purchasing will stop immediately so get it in while you can
