One of the reasons i bought them was their apparent 'thin-ness' to warmth ratio. I hate thick gloves, i've always had hot hands so big thick gloves always left my hands swimming in sweat. Rode back from the shop with these on, maybe 5-6miles in a very windy 5c just using the outers , i was impressed. I was coming from standard mtb gloves which are as wind proof as a sieve

ffs this is the third thread you'd made about selling this

£6 on ASOS. worth a punt i'm thinking -
Bought some Fox Antifreeze Gloves today, them seem very good, also not bad looking.
They're actually a two part glove, the main glove and a liner. Have a look at the bike radar review here.
heres my mini review.
If anything they are two hot for me atm (i do get very hot hands though). I just wear the outter, which i've found to be totally wind proof, which is half the battle for me. When the really cold weather sets in I'll no doubt start using the inner but they super toasty. Nice and flexible even with the liner Nice & long so you can get them up your cuffs. The outters are very grippy, and the inners are stitched with the seems on the outside so they wont rub. My only criticism is that the outters could be more padded if you wear them on their own. On long rides i think my hands might get a bit numb, that being said if they were you probably would loose flexibility when wearing the inners as well. Haven't gone out in the rain with them yet, but as the outters are neoprene they'll stay warm even if they're soaking. As for durability i'll get back to you when i've used them for a while. over all they seem a good buy. -
crap photo, soz. guy here claims to have "spent nearly a grand on this baby"
I'm pretty sure thats an airwalk frame, this one to be exact:

-
front on the right lever, back on the right and vice versa
-
Too much mixing of periods/styles
now that i look at it it does look a bit of a mish mash
wank mudguards
they remind of of that stupidly expensive paul smith saddle
-
That goes for most of Colnago's output from about 1978 to 1998; I think one must consider these things in the context of their period.
I do get that i just think i've seen much nicer, the bike/stem its self are porn worthy, but to quote myself from the other thread "it looks like an explosion in a tartan paint factory". Maybe i'm just letting my personal taste overcome the general consensus, I just think there are much nicer more tasteful period pieces. I'll be a good sport though and hush up if the majority disagree with me...

awful.
whoever built up that vintage sachs (not sachs himself, duh) is clearly an idiot.what offends you so much about it?
-
Nah mate, that's porn.
i'd be 100% behind it normally but that paint job is horrid
-
From the porn thread
-
...but will it barspin?!
Maybe lfgss could team up with 'Will it Blend'.

Beautiful stem, beautiful frame, from the ebay.

oooh! recipe please!
Its piss easy:
- Line what ever you are cooking it in butter (unsalted)
- Cover the bottom in sliced banana
- Sprinkle said banana's in cinnamon (I used a slightly heaped tea spoons worth), I also drizzled a bit of honey over for extra flavour.
- then add the batter and cook for 30mins at 250c and dont open the oven though as it wont rise properly
The batter is very easy, basically yorkshire pudding mix but with sugar.
- 285ml/ 1/2pt of milk
- 115g/4oz of flour
- 3 medium eggs
- 115g/4oz sugar
I actually put less sugar than this in because the banana's very ripe and sweet, but traditionally you make clafoutis with whole black cherries. So if sometimes I make the batter a bit sweeter to combat overly sharp cherries.

Awful foot retention and wtf is the bandana for?!
potatochopped spok card?
/seen some in my time
The spokes dont even line up at the top
-
i wonder if theres a regulation against confusing graphic patterns on disc wheels in competition
Probably the UCI are renowned fun haters. In fact i'm pretty sure that whole bike is illegal.

Have a free bump, this is bargin-tastic!
-
this is so much anti
I was thinking its a bit 'marmite-y' wasn't sure what to put it in
-
a little thought for those who are a fan of food technology humor.
"what happens if you try and make a cake with E-554?" -
I didn't have any but i made do with posh creamy vanilla ice cream
-
Had a glut of banana's so I made banana and cinnamon clafoutis. piss easy and full of win.
Sorry for the crappy photo -
Inner tube also works well as a shim for things that dont need to be under a lot of pressure like brake levers. Its also a good, if rather smelly, fire lighter.
I also remembered something i was told by an animal rights campaigner. If you want to piss off someone who owns a fax machine, feed a loop of black paper into the machine and send it to them.
