  Ah perfect thanks, I wasn't entirely sure. Think I prefer the droopy chainstay more than droopy seatstays aesthetically

  Anyone know why the non driveside chain stay is droopy? I can't think of a reason for it. Something to do with mounting the brake?

  I dont know about the newer disc brake ones but the older rim brake one I had could only manage 23s. I'm glad I sold mine for a few reasons.

  I'm pretty sure aquablue sold off complete race spec bikes for less than that. I was tempted tbh. Settled for a few aerohead ultimates for €60 each

  I think Northern Irish so technically depends on who you ask haha. I have an old pair of those gloves when they were fully reflective and I really like them, but they've gone smelly now after many years of use. I'll probably buy another pair but I really like that the ones I have are reflective all over. I used them with a silk liner when it was ~0-5C

  I have some other small bits from them and they're all decent.

  I plan on getting one of their insulated gilets and a jacket at some stage. Their designs on some bits can be a bit naff though which is a pity because it all looks good quality.

  I can second that their customer service is good too. And they have a repair service

  No idea if it's been suggested before so apologies if it has, but would it be possible to have a "replies"tab in the following page? Like direct responses to any of my posts. Separate to the new replies in all the threads I follow?

  I've found I miss if someone has replied to me if the reply has been bumped down the list by other replies in other threads. Or it can be annoying if someone replies with an image so the whole list looks a bit messy.
