Excellent script. When is the movie coming out?
like twisting the bezel of a submariner the shop lad said, he wasn't wrong as you looked down to check the the time.
This is superb
EDIT: don't think I've even ever been near a shop where one might find a lad making such quote -

stood on your heated tile floor you feel the heat through your Pas Normal socks to gently warm your toes with coffee in hand. A lovely single origin you've been dialing all week between work calls and meetings, finally got that "pommegranite" note coming through.
"saturday at last"
you joyfully whisper to yourself, placing the stonewhere mug on the slate coaster which addorns a reclaimed mid century gplan dining table.
a few stretches and you're reminded of how much nicer the pas normal bibs feel over the standard rapha proline (it's really not the same since..), only to straigtent out and saunter over the the autoprogettazione chair you built as a lockdown project. all to slip into the addidas gravel shoes picked up last weekend, you like them because they don't look like your normal road shoes, you can walk around in them a bit and they don't look too out of place at the cafe stop.
you really hate to look like "a cyclist". it's why you made the switch to wearing a merino tee and japanese flannel on the top half, functional and fashionable. even if the lads down the club call you the black pearl as it billows in the wind like some battleship sail.
anyway it's getting late and the partner will be up soon
you whisk into the side door through to the garage
there it is
woods cyclry had just finished building this one up for you, a stunner.
ritchey ascent, sunset fade. a head turner to say the least. you wanted to give this gravel thing a go but didn't want to half arse it, you have enough bikes to not need a bad one. it's not to say the shop didn't have to twist your arm into springing for that white industries crank, maybe the ultra dynamico tyres. the hope brakes and chris king wheels tho? you wanted to try these for a while and this was a perfect exscuse.
rolling it through to the drive and that ratchet engaging on the free wheel you know it was worth it. like twisting the bezel of a submariner the shop lad said, he wasn't wrong as you looked down to check the the time.
at the car you have to hoist it up, you're expecting the worst, seems twice the size of your super six
"suprisingly light really"
you mutter as you secure it to the roof of the e46
"i geuss you get what you pay for"
