    I’ve started visiting wiggle, CRC and ribble far too often the past few weeks. I know from experience this is a clear sign I’m going to buy something I don’t need. I’ve accepted this as an inevitability if history has taught me anything it is that I buy a load of sh*t I don’t need from online bike shops.

    Anyway getting to the point has anyone bought or seen anything particularly cool lately

    I bought one of the rain jackets in the Manchester Rapha sample sale – I’ve only had to use it twice, because it’s a bit bulkier than a pak-a-jak so I only take it if it’s properly persisting down. Brilliant though, my numb hands/feet get jealous.

    Which reminds me, I bought a Rapha Bomber Jacket in the MCR sample sale but only started using in the last month.
    Got a thorough soaking one night and it kept me dry and hasbeen nice and warm when it’s dropped temps recently.
    Dunno if I would have paid full whack for it though.

    Swrve WWR 3/4 shorts. So far I prefer them to my old rapha fixed shorts and about half the price.

    Now that you mention it, I have indeed. I used to have a Raleigh (didn’t know what model it was…I’m not much of a pro when it comes to bike so I don’t really bother with trying to pretend I know what I’m talking about) but had to sell it due to insufficient funds but then I got my funds back on track and purchased this three-speeded BEAUTY from a neat little UK company. This place was the boss for [url=http://www.dutchie.co.uk/]Dutch bicycles[/url]. They’ve got both men and women’s, not LOADS of choice but what they do do is top notch. If you’re after a new road bike, I highly suggest you check it out. I ride for 40 minutes every day to work, since a year and a half ago and it’s still going strong.

    Saw a sweet NOS carbon LeMond
    Saw a sweet NOS carbon LeMond frameset in my size on eBay. Bikes don’t often come up in my size and I just really fell in love with it so I had to buy it and build it up. About $1900 later I have a second road bike that I really don’t need. I can’t bear to part with it, nor the one it has “replaced” so I’m just stuck with two bikes now. 😐

    I was given a new Indic8or – you wear it on your wrist and it flashes when you raise your arm to indicate. I think it is a brilliant safety gadget and I am getting one for my wife and kids. You can buy them on line but my mate got it at the cycle show at the NEC. http://www.indic8or.com. Never thought I would wear something like this but its pretty cool!
