Very nice. I would own a lot of bikes if I had shorter legs.

Decided to have a go at refurbing the dead shifters. I thought I'd separated all the internals for right and left. I had. Just not correctly. Much head scratching but I probably leant more for doing it wrong a few times. Seems to shift okay in the hand. Fingers crossed.
Also, 4 of these little bearings had made it into the bag. No idea where they came from.

A lot of Opticians have access to a sports catalogue. The cheaper high street options tend to fall into two camps, those with a glazeable insert behind a tinted shield, and those with a wrap and sports adjacent styling but smaller lenses. There are sound reasons for this optically. To get past these limitations you often have to pay more or head on-line

Ah well. Not much to recommend near me other than Oakley.
How cycling orientated do you want though? I had a fairly standard frame made with polycarbonate and photochromic lenses.

@hippy, as a mildly hyperopic presbyope (guessing), you are one of the most familiar dispensing challenges. There's no one answer. I would request a new sight test and be VERY clear with the Optometrist about your thoughts prior to the test. Spectacles are a tool to meet you visual needs. The more those needs are understood the more chance there is of them being met. A prescription is not absolute. Knowing the desired spectacle outcome (and history) can influence the decision over what to prescribe.
Incidentally, General Optical Council figures suggest an average dissatisfaction rate of 11% for glasses purchased at the prescribing practice, rising to 28% for those purchased elsewhere.

I recognised glib. I was being (coyly) terse. Compliment accepted wholeheartedly.

I'm no DJ... Band from a Garmin mount.

Ya. I did have another go, with a little more LP12 in mind, but have no pics.
The feline gentleman is our very handsome and personable neighbour Major Nelson. To the best of my knowledge neither of us skateboards. We may never know. Larger human offspring rightly insists on the garden being a scruffy haven. We do well for Butterflies.
