  So, watching CNN live coverage of Hurricane Sandy from New York, the reporter barely able to stand up and hold her mike and this guy just cycles past in the background ...

  Mines a Barley "Special" - a leather panel on the base - that I bought from the Carradice stand at the London Bike show in January

  I have a pair of Specialized Cross Tops you are welcome to have - look very similar to the Condor ones and in perfect working order / let me know if you want them and can arrange collection / post / pigeon

  Agree, interesting. Surprised how massive the variance is in durability between similar priced chains - my SRAM 1051, which if I ride in similar conditions to the test environment will last me less than 6 months, will definitely be replaced with a Shimano 105/Ultegra.

  I don't do the wax thing, I use Chain-L, brilliant stuff.

  Mine took about 8 weeks back in September / October last year - by phone is best as previous poster has said, they communicated well with me during the build.

• Lights

  I've been using the USB version of the Knog Boomer for a while now, very good, seem to be well built and have survived several good soakings and lots of mud. The front is a 'be seen' light rather than one suitable for lighting up a completely dark road or path. They charge relatively quickly and last well, very quick and easy to mount / unmount.
