twas a bloke from the company who was super pissed at having to go to China and felt he'd sold out big time. And was surprised.

One of the Rapha guys is interviewed in Cycling Plus; they tried UK manufacture but no-one could get the stock to them on time or with all the arms attached.
they also point out that they are using fabric of quality that no-one else does whIch might be debatable.

Re. the made in China debate, I followed a thread on another forum about a snowboard company who moved their production to China with huge reluctance and found their stuff came back better than any US facility could manage. They visited the factory and found a team of people obsessed with making the product better and cheaper in a 'proper' light industrial factory unit. It ain't all sweatshops any more.

May I recommend a Japanese buying proxy service like Celga

I've been using them for about 8-9 years for buying trainers and clothes from Yahoo Japan auctions and also from Rakuten online mall

More recently they started offering a shopping service from any Japanese online or mail order store. You just pay their bidding/buying fee of about $10 per 10,000 yen and ask them to ship it as a gift value anything you like and never pay any customs fees. They will will even bundle up bits and pieces you buy over a month or two and ship it together in one box and all you pay is cost plus paypal fees.

I asked same thing a few weeks back...

Building British, how far could I go?

Would maim for this H-Street Matt Hensley kingsize that I originally bought from Slam City in Talbot Road at the tender age of 18... wipes a tear.

I've got one of the huge Krooked reissue Gonz flowers decks built up awaiting me getting my head around getting on a board for the first time in about 13 years.

winston is that your asus eee??? I'm thinking of getting one....do you recommend?

Unfortunately not. Ugly rumours of Wii type shortages and Ebay premiums getting me nervous now.

Fuck an Iphone; Asus EEE laptop £220 on sale next week

Selle Italia with padded shorts is amazing but with jeans it gives me the fear. And chafing.

Brooklyn Kid font must feature in the title sequence please.

Columbus Life is 480 euro, but you can basically choose any Columbus or Deda tubes and he'll give you a quote.

Mine has got noisy once I worked out that could get it much tighter with a cone wrench after removing the nut on my QR hub and shifting the axle out the way than with a pair of pliers. Does it sound like a really metallic vibration? I'm thinking I need to just loosen it off a little.

You should use it.... I find it really silly that in a building with say 10-20 flats (like mine), which is served by one Virgin Cable box outside.... we all have separate internet accounts.... we should just share their 20Mb connection with a powerful router system and all pay the £40 a month between us.

Googling around that idea it seems that the usually not particularly forward thinking BT agree with you...

BT vs Fon

I move into my new flat and plug in my PC and my wireless adapter logs onto a router in the street somewhere who has turned security off?
I've got a week or so before my official broadband connection is hooked up and the free broadband is handy but should I be troubled by passively taking advantage of this clueless Virgin subscriber?

I didn't touch a drop for 5 years but unfortunately that was from age 16-21 and not 30-35. Really wish I'd swapped.

The Sheldon Brown 'encase a spare tube in cling film' method plus CO2 cartridge in the repair kit has sorted me out when the Schwalbe Marathon Supreme have been spiked. Had about 1 flat per 1000 miles of commuting from Lewisham to Euston with those tyres.

Anyone using the Ultremo roadie version with the same HDV protection?

Don't use a high street bank for money transfers or money orders to Europe. They are a joke!

I use a licensed money broker beaureau de change type who mainly services ebay buyers/sellers but will let you send Euro MO or transfers or US$ MO for peanuts. Been ebaying since '96 and not found better...

Roger Musson from Wheelpro's e-book gives you plans to build your own stand from MDF and a dishing guage from a sheet of cardboard and a nipple driver from an old screwdriver.. looks a piece of piss

Wheelbuilding

uniqlo merino

Uniqlo have some very light guage merino jumpers for £19.99 in plain colours at the moment that might make a nice mid layer

Can order from them direct

Price list

or maybe Mosquito carry the parts as well as bikes?

Mosquito

that is a VERY large chainring.

I think a serrated bin lid and drawing pin epoxied to a drive train could give the same gear inches for much less £
