Upgrades/ New Shit in Norwich

Bike was due to be delivered today but I'm not there to get it so it'll be tomorrow now

What's that, retro Adidas Giro road shoes that look like football boots? Don't mind if I do!

Ridiculous but awesome

Those three words pretty much sum up all of my purchases of late!

Halfords are opening a Cycle Republic store in Castle Mall in the old Model Zone place. Some 'urban cyclist with hub gear and stern commuter frown' looking pictures in the window when I passed earlier.

Jobs here by the looks of it.

new bars!

Temporary grips and lever, have some drop levers in the post and they will be fully taped. Not sure the angle is right but I haven't ridden it yet so we'll have to see, they feel really nice whilst sitting on the bike though!

Pictures as requested @jdp

I'd rotate them a little bit, but it's all personal preference ain't it; just ride it to work tomorrow and see how they feel.

I was thinking that myself actually, might move them down a tad.

I tend to have my 'flat' part of them horizontal, looks great with those bars though!

Cheers man, I've knocked then down a tad and they feel/look better already

What size is the frame btw?

56st 55tt

t-rex?

Indeed

New shoooooooooooooes!

Oh...and I'm picking up the Concorde later :-D

I thought you were getting Speedplays? Don't you need four bolt holes to fit the cleats?

The Speedplays will fit with the adapters I believe

Ah of course, why didn't I think of an adaptor!

Got it yet?

Erm...nope...

I'm having a Columbus Minimal fork fitted tomorrow and then I will be picking it up!

'tis all paid for though so I'm almost there!

1 Salsa Vaya - ready for adventure. Soon as i can make this headache go away. pics later.

No Speedplay?!

As it's going to be on and off the road, I've gone for some eggbeaters. The speedplays can stay on the singleringlespeedmachine for now.
