Really Rob? wow,you're lucky. I was going to start with,what a difference a day makes..shorts yesterday..back to bibtights and an extra layer today.. went out for a quick 15 (needed to stop off at...

Out today for a quick 15miles.. Shorts for only the 2nd time this year! although still longsleeved top,as the wind was cool,but not as cold as it has been.Got out a bit late,so encountered all the...

The 'pink' thing is just a bit of tongue-in-cheek.. nothing wrong with wearing pink,and would probably go well with my flowing blonde locks :) although i do look more Bill Bailey these days,covered...

Cupcakes,cream horn! :eek: You been giving Brad nutritional advice,Nobby? maybe that's why he's going so slow.. :D

Well i've gone and done it,and bought some Giro Kit :) Nope,not the pink tyres,or even a pink leaders jersey.. but some Giro gloves by santini.. £9.95 from Prendas at the moment.. and super fast...

Belkov will love that then. Just watched the highlights of stage 9.. maybe Brad should watch it too,as it's a masterclass on how to descend in the wet.
I'm not sure Brad will take back over a minute...

The One23 pump looks interesting.. although,after a quick google,a couple of points have sprung up.
1stly i understand the hose is pretty rigid.. does this cause any problems? It also looks a bit...

I'll have a look at the Topeak RaceRocket.
The reason the Lezyne pumps caught my eye was the hose..

Got a download of stage 7 today... it looked a bit slippy,and Brad was using my downhill technique in the wet.Not surprising really as he'd already fallen and better to lose a minute than break a...

This one of the ones you are looking for?

WOW Allez... that's a proper test of a pump.. hope you can now feel your arms!
I've had a few direct clamp pumps and find i just can't enough air in..my arm would have dropped off way before 300...

Hahaha.. sorry Allez,but you've forgotten you're talking to a chemist! I used to test 134a refrigerants... :D

Thanks for the comments on the Pressure drive.. this was the one i was looking at.You...

Looking at the Lezyne mini pumps.
I want a small pump,but with a hose connection, and found these pumps.
They look nice in cnc aluminium,but are they any good?
The advertising says they will pump...

The saddle is a totally different colour from the bar tape.. it looks more green than yellow (they do call it Lime yellow) I've not taken it out of the original packaging,as i don't think it'll look...

Windy here too,Colnago, and cold in the morning as i walked around Stoke (Longton) as my car was looked at..
So,back to the bibtights and longsleeved for my afternoon ride,expecting to get wet,but...

Ok.. I've added a few bits to the Lemond to make it more how i want it.. blue bottle cages, yellow RSP computer (wireless so not quite retro,but i think it looks ok) and a blue XO saddle i already...

loser

ooh.. shut that door.. :D

oh god ,remembering that saying makes me feel old..

I got some good gloves from Aldi a while ago,when they had a cycle special.They are comfortable ,with gel pads and seem to be lasting ok,just some transfer type bits on the palm have rubbed off.

I...

Minimum order of 3 units... still cheap if you need a few bottles.

Each to his own,but not for me..i'll stick to my retro look of wool shorts,string vest (thermal string vest for winter) and flat cap,or knotted hanky for the summer rides :D

Where is everyone watching the Giro? I've not got SKY,and haven't seen it advertised on normal 'council' tele..
