I quite like the idea of a newpin, the one that comes apart rather than folds.

I went over my handle bars and shattered my collarbone a few months ago. My x-ray was also pretty gruesome and I was sent away in a sling and told to wait it out. The upshot of a really nasty break is it'll heal fairly quickly due to lot of surface area and blood to knit it all back together.
My advice is to really keep up with the physio exercises that the fracture clinic will give you when you go in to have it checked, they are pretty simple and although they'll be murder at first you'll soon begin to see a bit of progress. Also, although my girlfriend was adament that I wasn't going to do anything at all, I forced myself to start doing a few things around the house as soon as I felt able and pushed myself a bit more every few days.
I was back at work and on my bike after five or six weeks, but had to really watch what I was lifting for a couple more months afterward.

aldi base layers on sale tomorrow:

My old man was kind enough to pick me up some of these today, poor chap had to try a couple of different Aldi's to find a top and bottoms in my size.
This is the first time I've owned any merino, looking forward to a toasty ride in them tomorrow!

The pair of bspoke trousers that came today are definitely going straight back! The jersey and gloves aren't that bad though, think I'll be keeping those.
Back to Rapha... What's the deal with their cap sizing, I ordered a medium and it's really tight. They're sizing puts a large at 60cm+ and my bonce is nowhere near that big. Does anyone know if there is a huge difference between the medium and large?

Would you consider posting? I've been looking around for a steamroller frame, but at this price I'd be happy to take the whole bike.
