    Thinking about chainsets, I'm thinking that my next chainset may well be a "non groupset" job anyway... probably a Rotor with the power2max conversion spider...

    More importantly, it's well under half the price of the SRM!

    Nice - i've got those as my winter wheels - tbh, it's hard to tell between them and the Ultegra's apart from they're a little slower to get rolling, being a tad heavier.

    Oh, so I was walking around Essex after my interview with Bridgestone (one day I will have an RB-1, dammit), and I stopped by our regional -price outlet (picture a sort of indoor garage sale type thing)

    Found this puppy in the back wall stuck between some couch cushions, just beyond women's clothing.

    $26 after tax.

    *resurrection* It's not toally dead yet...

    Just got a set of Clement X'plor MSO 700x40 tires for the bike (and promptly put a piece of metal into the rear but that's anouther story) with some tubes, sealeant and Ironclad Mach 5 gloves. Really looking forward to putting the tires through the paces on some local gravel and dirt, they felt pretty nice this morning (briefly).

    Well - after the abortive attempt to buy a Cyclocrosser, I decided that it was high time to actually properly finish the Dolan - it'd always been visualised by me as being fitted with a power meter.

    Finally, Stages have announced a UK distributor for their cranks, so I snapped one up on Tuesday.

    Still have a yearning for the 'cross bike though... N+1

    I purchased a road repair kit (pump, flat repair kit and first aid kit) for our (wife and I) cycling getaway in Jim Thorpe, PA. Pics to follow soon. If anyone happens to be in the Lehigh Valley area (Pennsylvania), you owe it to yourself to bike that trail. Awesome!

    I just picked up a couple of Manolos :tongue:


    Radial - the sole is really stiff & thin - almost no power lost - my favourite pair at the moment

    Genius 6.6 - more comfortable than the DMT, nice for longer distances & I like the dark green

    (couldn't resist the "pro" touch... :laugh:)

    Love it! I think I want to paraphrase Jens and have mine say " shut up A**!"

    Nice Sidi's - got a pair of the "Mega" last ones (I've got feet that are more like flippers! - far from dainty) in white. (or at least they WERE white maybe 10,000km or so ago...) - proper "Disco Slippers" :laugh:

    Only thing I purchased recently was a set of Candy 1 pedals.

    I picked up these on my lunch break, after riding Candies all summer and never liking them.

    http://www.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/pedals/mountain/product.-code-PD-M647.-type-.pd_mountain.html

    And I'm ordering these, smoking good deal:
