  Definitely try them on. If they are anything like bont skates they'll either fit really well or they will tear your feet to shreds. I've not found many places that sell them and fewer that have them in stock. I've also not found anywhere that stocks the wide fittings. It's been a few months since I looked though.

  There are quite a few skaters that hang around this forum, me included. A lot of the speed skaters use bikes for training, it's a good way of building up your fitness both on skates and a bike - many of the same muscles are used in both activities.

  How 'experienced' is 'experienced'. I've done induction and beginers sessions at calshot? I'd like to do something regular with maybe a little friendly competition.

  If anybody want's to do this again you can get much cheaper eurostar tickets if you clear your cookies and set your home country to be australia or new zealand.

  Basically, for some reason eurostar assume that English people who want single tickets must be travelling for business and charge more. If you set your country of origin to be somewhere outside europe you can get singles for ~£25.

  Also, the £20 bike fee guarantees that your bike will get to st.pancras within 2-3 days, this means that you don't have to travel with your bike. However it also means that your bike might not be on the same train as you so don't count on that.

  When I last took my bike on it they had two ten-bike trollies and plenty of room so my bike came with me on the same train.

  Newhaven->Dieppe might be a better crossing, I did it a couple of years ago. You''ll get about 4hours kip on the boat and a cabin isn't very much. Then you have the avenue vert on the french side that will make for an easy mornings ride, getting a healthy distance towards paris.

  Arranged to see the frame near brick lane, but was told the frame was promised to a friend when I asked for the serial#. Make of that what you will.
