has anyone got the rapha/raeburn grey jeans?
not sure if the cut is supposed to be like this or if it's an error - correct around the waist, ridiculously skinny on the thigh. like, skin-tight. and not that much stretch in the fabric.I have the same issiue. The Rapha jeans fits me reasonably well, but the Rapha/Rayburn is way too tight on my upper legs and thigh, while I am pretty skinny (78 kg and 1.93m=6'4). I wonder any cyclist actually fits them.

I had drilled a hole in my Nitto handle bar for a brake cable. I've cycled with it for over a year, but it gave up yesterday when I was climbing the slope from the basement where my bike was stalled. Fortunately, I did not fall.
I'd dissuade anyone from drilling holes in handle bars....

Wow, every single detail justifies its appearance here. The front valve cap finishes it.

Finished my new ride a couple of weeks ago. It's a dark blue Pristine Super Vetta frame (I live near Amsterdam) built up mostly with BLB stuff, H+SON rims and a Nitto bar. Installing the brake was a bit of an issue because of the limited clearance. I decided to file a bit off the calliper, which worked out fine. I also recommend everyone not to try mounting a right pedal on a left crank arm. Fortunately the guys at Pristine could repair the thread. I am planning to replace the tyres (they're too black in my opinion). It's a fast bike that responds directly. Unfortunately, the rainstorms here force me to use my old mudguarded Giant (also fixed) for cycling to work.
