Today I...

Ill have some up for sale soon! Sewing two layers of Velcro and webbing can prove fiddly but it's not too hard in the grand scheme of sewing

make sure to shoot me a PM when you have them up for sale, definitely interested in buying a pair!

Today I arrived back in Norwich! Anybody around this week for a ride/pint/coffee?

I'm up for a ride if I'm around. Would be nice to get some of the fixed lot out at last..

Yeah I'm down.

Still building the speed machine. Anyone got any fixed cranks?

Mark I have a nice set of Campag Stradas that have been filed down to use as single ring if you're interested. Possibly not the kind of thing you're after though.

I'm in if I'm not working when you go.

I've got a set of these going. Weird blemish, though...

Today, I realised that Kinoko means mushrooms in japanese.. Mushroom cycles?

Wasnt really sure where to post this..

What about Pompino? Don't google it though....

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Cove Hand-job?

^^I did say don't google it....
Un buon nome per una bicicletta, penso.

^ Nice. Thankfully google brought the safe version of that for me!

Aha, can't believe that's the second time you've gotten a reaction out of that Jules!

Spank Bikes used to have some dodgy names, 'Stiffy' and 'Bitch Stick' are probably the height of it nowadays though.

EDIT:

Tugg Jobb scented grips? Hmm..

^^ Me too!

^Do not want.

...wore overshoes for the first time; they're an absolute revelation.

Good to know. I have a pair in a drawer ready to go for the winter.

I have a pair for sale if anyones interested?

Only problem with (some) overshoes is that their weak spot is the opening at the ankle. I had a rather expensive pair that you could hold under a running tap and the inside would be bone dry. However when on the road, the water would come in through the leg hole and your feet would be soaked #fail

Sorted.

^^Thankfully I only paid the princely sum of two pounds for mine, so as long as they stop some of the wet I don't mind!

Today I got confirmation that Boneshaker will be publishing an article of mine in the new year, and took part in a photoshoot with Steve Hunt for his #bloodycyclists project. All in all a shamelessly good bike-related day for Alex.

Good work sir.
