What happened there? It was up to a few hundred quid, then bids were cancelled.

ebay might have thought they were fake bids?

I may get the Brooks bartape to match, expensive tho :-s

^aint a patch on the Brooks tape, but Charge do a tan leather effect bar tape.
looks ok.

IF anyone needs a Harris tweed jacket I've got one going, will check sizing tonight.

I don't suppose the sizing is in the realms of gorilla crossed with wookie is it? I need a jacket stat.

The sizing is more Mandalorian Protector, I'm afraid.

Shame - I'm running out of ideas.

Ah - I think it was re-started as a charity auction. Is that the S3X hub on it? (I spy a cable going to the rear...).

I'm off to Goodwood Revival this year, anyone got a 3-piece tweed suit I could borrow in about 44/46?

Ah that's good to know, cheers buddy! I know Condor do a Brown but don't think it'll match as i went for the honey colour on the Brooks in the end which is a lot lighter/yellowy. I think Fizik do a couple of brown's aswell for a lot less but hey, buy cheap buy twice or something to that effect!

The Fizik stuff is actually quite nice IMHO.

but really nice.. if you bought a brooks you're short changing your bike by being cheap on the bar tape

If its a 42 CG i would love to take it off your hands, but if I remember rightly your a fair bit bigger than me.

This event is clearly subversive. I have seen the effect it has on sane people first hand, and it must be stopped. Surely the organisers will see sense and call off this madness before it is too late.

Warmaster Horus

Had to google it, enriched now.

If you think you have problems finding tweed, how do you think I get on?

It's like trying to find a blazer for Adeptus Titanicus...

I'm expecting to see a column of epic figures emerge from the mist on the morning of the 9th. Tweed flying from their banners naturally.
