Alas it will be a while yet before I have the strength to mount it (don't really know how I managed to get the old one off!!)

On the same power theme as Beasty, my brother has been living on the West Coast of the US for the last 8 weeks and has sourced me:

for the new bike.

I saw a couple of really nice looking Stork's at the start of the Stamullen GP, fantastic looking frames, one was the above but in Blue.

where was the 15% off?

lennymc · 23-04-2014 11:06PM

best helmet I ever owned, and I even had a chance to use my visor at the weekend!! The visor is actually pretty cool. Its like your not wearing glasses at all.

Is it hot though ? Not much ventilation.

i did a back to back comparison with a giro monza one day and couldnt really notice too much of a difference. The air attack floats on your head rather than sitting on your head, if you know what I mean.

evanscycles over the easter weekend brought it down to 150 sterling (ouch)

Gerry1962 · 24-04-2014 11:43AM

Euro Cycles had 25% off Helmets at week end not sure if it still applies though

Incoming new bike day for my OH.

italodisco · 26-04-2014 12:37AM

I bought this Felt a few months back, couldnt be happier.

More relaxed geometry than the Z series too which is nice for commutes.

OK, it's not for my bike but I still paid for it...

That's actually a really nice bike. Great deal for a commuter or anyone looking to into the sport.

So a guy at work decided his new frame was a bit big for him - he'd ridden it no more than a handful of times. He asked me about the possibility of selling it on the Cycling Adverts sub-forum, and I saw it as too good an opportunity to miss. It's going to be a while before I'm capable of building her up, but here she is in her current condition:

So maybe I need to redo the fleet post to include the P5, Q7, R5, S5 and T3
