all this talk, means i'm gonna go and have a look also..30% merino, 14 squid, worth a punt at least.
It’s a cavernous single main compartment that will happily swallow long shackle u lock, tubes, tools, snacks, thin race jacket and possibly an A5 pad with pens. There are two waterproof pockets riding shotgun either side for stowing keys, wallets, phones and similar nick-nacks.
In my opinion, a single pannier remains the better option/addition for commuting duties (Entertaining A4 folder(s), books, tools and possibly a change of clothes/shoes etc).
i can't get over the deep pit of horrific death
something like this?

Armstrong in divided opinion shocker
Just worked out I can pop in a visit on my way in to work..
i'm going via trowbridge on thursday morny to see what i can pick up. i'll do a quick vid and whack it up on the site
I think I'll try to pop up to Ruislip tomorrow to take a look then
if you want naff have you seen Rapha's silk scarves? (that said I have just purchased a rapha merino collar
Good god now I've heard it all! How low can this man stoop? Just laughable ...
This site is for real. Strange as it may sound, we felt it was time that something positive got spread on the internet. Lance was a worthy candidate - his name is being dragged through the mud and overshadowing all the good he has done. We figured he could probably use a boost.
No mention of the number of drivers in those postcodes so you can get a better idea of how bad the problem is in those areas.
Statistics without knowing what the dataset is like are meaningless
Shaun,
What's the inside of the bag like? One big slot or with dividers? How would it do for commuting with books, notebooks, folders, etc.?
Thanks!
Does anyone know of anyone who uses one of those SRAM Torpedo hubs? You know, where you just have to turn a screw to switch from fixed to free. Certainly seem a good option if you find you want to flip/flop on a regular basis.
not much of a hill so to speak from the direction they are coming from, unless you go to the top of the Tor that is.
btw i'll be on my single speed if the weather is anything like today..
I cycle. Light hybrid, helmet, aero bars, bib shorts, etc etc.. you get the picture.
Thing is though, I don't hugely identify as a "cyclist" - except perhaps when on the bike or thinking/talking about it.
I'm a person who cycles. Yet I imagine that, in the eyes of non-cycling colleagues, I'm a "cyclist". And the bib shorts probably have something to do with that.
Normal clothes, town bike, panniers - that stuff can change minds, I hope! If only it was as fast and comfy as lycra...
Hi Mate,
Does the ribble winter frames come with mudguard eyelets? From memory the answer is yes but I wanted to check. If so I know someone (not on here) who may be interested.
Tom.
does anyone know what percentage of cars on the road are in Tax-band-A (ie. £0)? and how much money they cost the goverenment in terms of road costs, ie. how much is spent on roads each year mutliplied by the above percentage.
I reckon the figure will be higer than the amount they spend on cycle facilities. Might shut them up.
Thats nothing to do with fixies being unsafe and everything to do with the TW*T's that ride them (by that i mean 'fixie' riders, not riders who happen to be on a fixed)
As long as Drivers don't get lazy and I guess there are some shoddy drivers out there too.
And some guns in the car bumper Bond style to shoot the obsticles...
best wait till thursday, eh
If fixies were really safe to ride on the road we wouldn't have invented free wheels. Trying to remember you are on fixed in the wet in heavy traffic is a recipe for disaster - regardless of how skilled you are at riding one. I've heard so many accident reports in the last 2 years since the craze started. Fixies are best off on the track even if they improve cadence and feel traditionally so right..
Well after the recent weather I think it is time to get some winter gear!
Off to Aldi 2morro to take a look!
Excellent!!!
Too right I'll give him a shout ..
Cheers
