I have got girly hands, the small is still too big for me so worn once, like 6 months ago. Paid them £15, would like £9

That is true, when I was in belgium for Stalen Ros 4, I saw a lot of Merckx locked up like that on the street. With panto campagnolo parts and other nice parts. It's a belgian thing. In the Netherlands we think they are stupid, so maybe they are.
Edit: oops, didn't read the last page. sorry
I concur our stupidity, but this is certainly more explainable with the fact that the pro-thieves are not interested by expensive bike (YET) / there is no street demand for stolen bike in Belgium (YET). All of this IMO ofc.

Okay just trying my luck with three things that have been around in my head lately.
First I'd like to say that I have looked a bit through the classifieds but didnt really find anything matching. Maybe I missed your item?
I'd like to start to go clipless. Not much clue about it except what I have read on here so I was thinking that if someone has size 8 (my size for trainers)shoes, cleats and pedals all together and that he wants to get rid of it I'll go with it. As I am starting I want to stay cheap though. Let me know if you got one of those things.
Would be for commuting so as far as I have read the ideal would be MTB shoes. Not bothered between Time or SPDs tbh.Then helmet. Just want to try to see if I get along with this as my commute has doubled and interested to test this. Not bothered with what it could be. Black or white preferred though. Not crashed obviously, not too pricey too. Not sure what is my head measurement , will tape it tomorrow but I should be S - M, I don't have a big head.
Also, anyone got an* bag* like the Ortlieb messenger or the SealLine Urban and would like to sell it ? Could be well used, not an issue to me. I was looking at a Bagaboo Workhouse some weeks ago, but I used to use a single strap bag and would like something else.
And finally, if anyone has a cheap 27.2 grey seatpost that can go down the seat tube enough for my petite legs. Otherwise I'll take the one a forumenger offered to me.
Wow. That's it !

I'd like to back up what has been said about the Halo Courier Berlin. It is a great anti puncture tyre and good for commuting, but so dangerous when cornering. I only have a Berlin on the back wheel (Maxxis on front), and yesterday was a quite wet cold day on the road. I was riding down London rd in South London and while cornering, the wheel lost suddenly grip and here I go hitting the ground at 20mph in a busy junction with the bike spinning around. Lucky I wasn't carry my d-lock on my waist. I wasn't on any manhole cover neither any white painted line for the record. I blame the massive wall this tyre has which gives it no grip on cornering. I also found out that on the rest of the painful trip, the wheel kept on slipping on any white lines and manhole covers, really badly.
I would not recommend this as a bad weather tyre. This is the second time it happened to me (but first time was on dead leaves). However, 6 months on and no puncture with really bad road conditions and daily use for commuting. Not sure though if I will keep it as it broke my confidence on cornering and I now corner very large on wet roads since yesterday.
