Today I...

...broke my phone, my helmet, my garmin watch and 1 spoke in my langster's front wheel.

Ordered a new phone, bought a new helmet, replaced the spoke and glued my watch together. All I have created today is a big dent in my bank balance. bleuuugh.

Ouch hope you're ok, did you come off?

Nope - that's the real kick in the huevos. These were all completely unrelated incidents. My helmet just fell apart at the back... no crashing.

Did another 50 mile ride and to finish off did the last couple of miles on a mates cervelo, bloody quick bikes

Cervelo for the win ;)

The acceleration was nuts on it

Rode over the South Downs on the Kuwahara. Hills reps are gonna be easy after that

Yeah I nearly fell off the first time I rode mine, went to crank the pedals and it just started accelerating! The aluminium bike I had before would have a bit of a lag before moving

Also known as the placebo effect...

Popped my back tyre doing sweet fixie skids this morning. Shame

@bengreen #boastpost

Happened right outside uni, mixed between feeling awesome and embarrassed cos it popped

I wouldn't worry about it, they were all probably too busy basking in its slave goodness to notice

Probably, or just pure rad factor adding mega wattz

Built the Focale up again a couple of days ago and managed to get out for a quick blast to the shop just now; super spinny but great fun busting 'sweet fixeh skidz'. need to move the saddle back a tad and might swap the chain out for a gold one I have laying about for maximum rad factor but I'll probably keep it as is for now

The plan is to overhaul it when I have the spare cash but I'm torn between slave beast and guv'nor esque cruiser

oh and @hudsoncjnr I need to pay you for the stem!

Looks sweeeeeet!!

Looks mega boring more like, disliking the paint more and more every time I look at it haha

Nothing a few stickers can't fix :-)

They will probably be reserved for the roadie. Still can't decide between a tarck or practical build for the Focale

@Rikki i reckon it looks sweet as it is man! What were you considering doing?

Heres a few pics of the orbeater after my sketchy repair on the back tyre ha. I aint proud

Definitely a respray at some stage, as for the rest of it I don't know. Can't you just run a new tyre on the orbit? I'm sure I have a spare if you need one

I get paid on Friday, just making it last! I quite like the blue! Could raw it down, that would look pretty sweet

Nah the blue makes it look really cheap IMO; raw is definitely an option, it'll probably end up raw with some compact drops and deep carbon or go a bit more classic with a silver finishing kit, brooks and swept bars

Raw and deep carbon sounds amazing
