Upgrades/ New Shit in Norwich

If you're interested in them we can come to an arrangement, I won't be using them I doubt

I'm not sure my clearances are tight enough to warrant the cut out, alright to give it a try some day?

Yeah of course

Nice, thanks. Bring it to work one day? I can pop round and nab it. No rush!

Will do

I need some too. A friend has just got some of these: http://www.freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Mudguards%20%26%20Racks.html which look good. Not too much more than your standard SKS etc either

Just links to the mudguard section I'm afraid, was a bit worried when £170 mudguards showed up!

Ha, the polished £45 ones.

Building new bikes to look like rats can >>>>>>>>>>
Although that does look damn good.

I've got a major hankering for a silly Planet X crabon tarck frame...

Am I bit heavy for it?!

I don't think there's a weight issue with carbon track frames is there?

Reasoning being if they're good enough for Gregory Bauge, Robert Forstermann et al, they're good enough for anyone?

I guess so, I'm about 105kg though which is pretty heavy and when I train hard I tend to gain weight rather than lose it!

Who knows then! Only one way to find out...

I don't think they're trying to make it look rat (admittedly I haven't read the article), they've just clear coated it, they've been doin that with bmx frames for a decade.

You are a bit of a beast, Chris! I've never read anything about weight issues though, I'm sure you'll be fine

Yeah that Mash is a collaboration with Colombus - so they clearcoated them to show the framebuilding work, yada yada yada.

Haha! Thanks I think!

I have lights!!!!

Me with lights and a brake, whatever next?!

You build and ride a bike for 3 months without changing or upgrading it...
;-)

Didn't realise that was possible?!

On the Genesis I need to order a new wheel set, change the bars to drops, tighten the chain, change brake pads and buy and fit some new mudguards.
On the Plug I need to get a new front fork, fit mudguards, put new bar tape on.
On the Colnago I need to get and change the bars, fix puncture.
All bikes need lights fitted.

You need more slackz in your life.

What lights did you get? I got my Lezyne Macro in the post yesterday and it's an absolute beast - they're still £37 on pedal-pedal.co.uk if anyone fancies a bargain/burnt retinas.

Went for this one http://www.evanscycles.com/products/cateye/volt-100-rapid-x-rechargeable-light-set-ec068278

But I must admit I did pay 1p more for it from the DH!

@jdp I'm massively impatient and always tempted by shiny toys so I never end up keeping stuff for long!

Blimey, 30hrs flashing pisses all over the Lezyne.
