Who wants to review stuff?

I'd be happy to help out with the rigorous testing phase.

Helmet chinstraps? Fail.

;)

I was thinking full face helmets would be my first review...

Closely followed by blenders.

Sorry, for a moment there, I thought you said

I'd happily review stuff and I'm sure I could canvass the female perspective from my girlfriend. I can offer the long distance and open road view on things.

"When it comes to Eastertide chocolate, the fixed gear cyclist's choice has to be Lindt's 'Chocolate Bunny' range. Fashioned from 100% Swiss chocolate, tailored 'all milky' for the British palate, it comes in three edible sizes: small, medium and greedy. Foil-wrapped in gold and silver, the bunnies are perky and coquettish; naked, they are subdued and dignified, quietly forgiving you the oral carnage wreaked about their person.

But what makes Lindt Bunnies the choice for the fixed gear cyclist? Well, put simply: they're bomb-proof. They're the Phil hubs, the Chris headsets, the Paul cranks of Easter treats. In a recent test, two of LFGSS.com's sweatiest riders went head-to-head and arse-over-tit in an all out collision scenario, carrying 16 medium Lindt bunnies apiece in their Archie's Grobags. The result? Whilst both riders hit the deck, one landing on his bunny-filled bag, the other landing in a heap on top of him with his bike and bag flying everywhere, each sustaining bodily injuries of groan-inducing severity - as well as one rider's chopped risers being rendered mini-moustaches on impact - the bags were opened to reveal that* not a single Lindt Bunny *had been affected by the incident. Where 32 bunnies had stood in packaging, 32 bunnies remained - not one of them having succumbed to "shop soiled" status. Amazing. For the discerning fixed gear rider who wants a chocolate treat that can be stacked on again and again, the Lindt Bunny is, quite simply, FTW."

Oh my god, that is one of the funniest anecdotes I have ever read, you should seriously start writing more short stories phil!

I realise I'm a day late, but I'd be into review some stuff too, if we need more people to 'test' stuff. I quite like the Fixed Gear Gallery reviews, BTW, although I think if you don't share Nils' views on stuff they are probably a little less useful.

Man, I love magic brewing Bender.

I'll review any fucking stuff.

I will mostly look at it, sometimes for hours, often in silence, always naked.

When I have understood it I will draw a picture of it and write about it.

mmmm... pictures.
i`m in!

I'll hold tynan's hand while he's contemplating the review item. I expect 50% of any profits for this.

I'll cut you in for 60% if you colour in the pictures.

Can I go outside the lines? You know I'm a bit twitchy..

I would love to write a review on some ladies stuff. I used to write book reviews for a magazine, and I sorta miss doing it. That and allot of ladies stuff is gimicky rubbish, or at least it won't stand up to a ten hour day in the saddle.

isn't this forum a review of products anyway?
e.g. rapha is great but expensive
Thompson is great but expensive
gears are good for really big hills but not much else and then not essential
bikes that make it to bike porn are nice those that make it to fail are not
....
Bike radar's reviewing system is a bit crap as i'm not certain how much the person likes the same stuff as me - a good review is done by someone that you trust through experiance (bike snob's review of a look frame was quite good but i also like what he says as it's his own style that he as developed over time). also with such a **massive **spectrum of products out there it is all about personal choice (e.g. brakes no brakes...helmet no helmet!).

I also get enough reviews off this forum as people generallly love to tell you how great or how shit a product is. is not adding this organised template for reviewing moving closer to cycling weekly..etc?

apart from the above - i'd love to test free gear out just like the rest of the people on the forum but i'm not sure it's needed.

i am very good at reviewing booze.

i am very good at reviewing while boozed.

me too.

I will break anything

Excellent credentials sir. Can I see a review of your fingers.

I'll do it.

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Good plan.

It would be best (as mentioned ^^) to get a few people to review the same thing to try to get a bit of concensus. Like on the tyre's threads, rather than trusting one person who may ride very differently from you, you can have a bit more faith in the collective wisdom of fools the crowd.

I've done a few bits of reviews for a short-lived 'Stuff'-like mag, and would happily throw my hat in the ring too.
