Re: The Cycling Thread
Oh, I did it staying straight and using the extra bit that you get to keep it neat and tidy...
On a track bike you'd only need half the tape. It's not as if you'll be using the top half of the bars in anger  Matt, hows that Christmas gift of yours, I'm loving mine she's lovely and light but can be a little harsh on rough roads, but the groupset is so nice, I love the brakes so much they are so strong and have plenty of feel.

Re: The Cycling Thread
You're such a tart... GIES A SHOT MR!!!
Just out of interest how much more than the Blade did it cost.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Haha I can't resist the shiny shininess! I now need matching shoes and stuff. Luckily my helmet kinda matches the colour scheme so that can stay
You can have a go on the first warm dry day, so maybe one of two days in July... It was cheaper than the Fireblade, just about! |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Aero frame means you gotta start taking wind resistance seriously... Get those legs shaved LOL!!!
Thank God both my bikes are black white and red. Makes clothing easier. You're really working on the N+1 rule. How many have you got now!

Re: The Cycling Thread
It worries me your desire to see me with shaved legs! Both my bikes have black and yellow on them so it's all good.
Hmm, I currently own 4 bikes. Three road bikes and a mountain bike, all in our 1 bed flat. I fancy a cyclocross/adventure road bike sometime in the future as well so I may have to sell one or two (or be killed by Kirsty)... |

Re: The Cycling Thread
I fancy an adventure bike. I like the idea of riding up the Tak then going round the trails.
Since they've resurfaced the canalside path te urgency of doing it has dropped right off.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Yeah I also like the thought of going out for a road ride but being able to hit some of the tamer trails, or just not worry about going along canalways etc.
MTB tandem sounds awesome. If I had a shed or even a spare room it would be okay, but currently I have a road bike sitting either side of the TV cabinet in my lounge! |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Aldi bike stuff tomorrow, but better still you can now order it online, saves going there to find they've sold out
Garmin edge 25 for £79, that's £20 cheaper than anywhere on line! Only 8 left at this price! https://www.aldi.co.uk/specialbuys/d...popular&page=0
