  Wow... looks stunning.

  Still, I'm amased at how little they sell for considering that modding and refurbing my 35 year old frame cost me the best part of £200!

• Did you fall off the first time you tried clipless pedals?

  Yes, I fell off the first time...

  ...I'd just taken delivery of a Rockhopper Pro, and I was cycling the whole of the SouthDownsWay in a day.

  So I leave at 6am... and 100 yards later, realise that I need to check the map.

  I slowed down, and forgot that I was clipped in. I fell over onto a kerb, which hit my hip. My right leg was stung all-over by nettles.

  Needless to day, it never happened again!!!

  PS My hip hasn't quite been the same since.
