I know they're good, got a pair of "fixed shoes".
Just the esthetics: tourer looks like a fixed's ugly sister.
Ignore me, they're meant for a men anyway

Can anyone tell me if endura baabaa t-shirt is long on the body?
Long like helly hansen stuff?

TheorySwine, I almost bought that frame (something else caught my eye here at the end)
Looking forward to seeing the photos here after respray.

Apparently the Quoc Pham Touring shoes, with spd fittings, will be available next month;

I'm very undecided on them, I love the simple elegance of his original shoes but these are just a bit odd looking I think.

Uhh, they're so ugly.
can't believe it's designed by the same person as the fixed shoe

or this would be better?

Get anti-pollution mask. That's what is for.

That's the plan. Don't know which one yet.
Respro makes breathing difficult, trying to find alternative.

Also, I think it's worse if you are a mouthbreather -
more condensation.

That's probably my problem.

you can pick up a bunch of these for just a few quid and do it at home

Can it do any damage to the frame? Never tried doing that myself and was wondering if i should do it or leave it to a pro.

Just been to my local police station and was told that they stopped stamping serial numbers while ago. Apparently they had some complaints about stamping causing some damage to the frame.

Rapha merino neck warmer.

How is that supposed to be breathable?
I've tried cycling in merino buff and after couple of miles it gets completely wet.
I'm using seirus scarf when it's really cold and it does the job well.
What i'm looking for is anti pollution mask for warmer days and i was hoping that someone tried something that works better than respro and can recommend it.

Has anyone actually tried something that allows you to breath (quite) comfortably?*

Dibs on seatpost
What's the length?

To anyone complaining on a poor water resistance of their soft shells try Grangers waterproofer for soft shell. It did a miracle to mine.

Does anyone have any experience with mercian colour matching? I wanted to give them a ral or pantone reference but they said they need a sample so they can work on it...

actually pretty comfy if you cycle in the drops.

got mine set up same way (or maybe even lower)

I like mine

Dibs mercian (if it is what i think it is)

Only three cyclist on my nearly 7miles commute.
Really nice feeling
I'm just trying not to think what will happen if i need to fix a puncture in that cold.

I took a bus this morning. Makes me feel bad.
Please someone say that did the same...

I have one.

I'd like a pair of trainers that are good for commuting, potentially waterproof / resistant a bit, that I can wear in the (casual) office.
Not cleats, just nice shoe / trainers that are better than cons for cycling in.
What y'all wearing on your feet?

Also, I'd welcome ideas about what I should be wearing on my summer European tour next year, non cleats.

Thanks ladies.

Thats exactly what i'm looking for and can't find anywhere

Those fred perry's are nice, do you know where i can get them in black?

Ideally i'd wan"t something looking like quoc pham's but for ladies (and cheaper)

My Brooks saddle and seatpost were stolen from Vestry Street, N1 between 2pm and 8pm yesterday:

The weird thing it, they actually left a different seatpost and saddle on the floor by my bike. So rather guiltily I tried it on my bike, found it fitted (though I didn't have an allen key to tighten it), and rode rather uncomfortably home. I did check the other bikes locked around mine and none were missing a saddle. Still I can take a photo and return the saddle if anyone can show a pic to prove it's theirs.

I can't work out whether the thief just nicked my saddle and replaced it for his own which he left on the ground. Or if he had stolen lots of saddles that day and for some reason - I refuse to accept considerateness - decided to leave one behind.

Why weird?
Most of the components probably gets nicked by other
cyclists, stealing for themselves.
