Re: The Cycling Thread
I think I've finally done it Mav. I've shouted the guy thats selling the Boardman CX and I'm gonna go over on Thursday to check the bike out. If I fit it and its all legitimate I'll be giving myself heart attacks trying to cycle up Tak Ma Doon road.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Here's a vid from France, not the original 1080p recording, but ok. The speed & course overlay are courtesy of the Virb editing software which syncs with the GPS data from the camera.
Couldn't top more than 40mph due to a downhill headwind.  This is the Col du Telegraph descent, its also a nice climb.

Re: The Cycling Thread
So much for expensive hard luggage for the Street. After much researching I plumped for a B'Twin 520 which seemed to be getting good reviews for its price. It'll certainly be better than me. Gaffer has even relented and the other new girl is getting to live in the house and not in the damp shed... Already been warned I'm not allowed to buy another bike...
