  Not working hard enough? Those jackets are seriously hot if you're riding at any kind of tempo.

  Yeah, I was surprised to read that^^ I've only ever worn mine once on a proper ride and it was when it the heaviest rain I've ever cycled in. They're awful for riding in unless the temp is below 0 in my opinion.

  If you find my horse, do let me know. Bicycles are no good for business. I need my horse.

  You could probably get a good deal on a high end steel frame if you can patiently trawl ebay/BR/ctc forums etc, if you could bring yourself to go second hand.

  I'm a bit puzzled: that bike has a 56cm TT (ctc) and a 53cm (ctt) ST, yet you say it's too small? Those are the requirements you listed above. Surely a cm too *small *in the seat tube is something you can live with on a tourer? How was the previous frame too small?
