  OK, I had to read it 3 times to get it what he says (German speaker here).

  I have ordered one Rawland Demiporteur for my Big Dummy a while ago when shipping was free worldwide, hopefully it is here soon, since "...the racks are now on water. All orders will be shipped immediately once the shipment lands."

  Today I was at a bike shop in Vienna here, and rode home then with PEdAL ED Reflective Gloves – let's see how they do in the next weeks. Feeling comfy, Made in Romania, and the wrist fits under the jacket.

• All The Six Fifty Bees Thread! (650b, 27.5 etc.).

  I would guess going up is easier than going down with v-brakes, and also if there is enough place for the wheels in the frame.

• Workwear; or, Dandy rigouts in which to perform manual labour.

  Since about 2 years I have Cofra Stoppata, of which the other models look similar to the one you mentioned: http://www.cofra.it/en/products/footwear­/footwear-lines/1-footwear/49-old+glorie­s?

  

• Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

  Thanks for that tips; looking through Polartec fabrics (I see neoshell). It would be for Fall / Winter / Spring riding with temperatures from -5 or really sometimes lower up to +10 ˚C. Just a jacket and different shirts or baselayers depending on the weather. An hour or two wet would be OK though!

  Seen on the train today:

• Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

  So I did read about different fabrics and jackets, there seems to be not so much available between softshells (mostly too hot for me), windbreakers (rain?) and rain jackets (winter?). I did find Schoeller C-Change fabric, which sounds interesting or similar to Gore Active membrane.

  Also wrong thread probably now.

• Front rack. Rear rack.

  Wow, that Old Mountain rack is cheap – I have one and I think I imported it years ago from Switzerland for about € 160 or so; rear rack though.
