  This place has supremes going very cheap. Postage is a bit more than usual, but the lower price might compensate for that. Folding and reflective.

  I would find it strange if a custom builder wouldn’t be able to add those features to a frame

  “Cheap, loud and not so sexy...”

  This is going to be so classy and tasteful. I can just feel it!

  Next stop, spinergy wheels with white spokes 😍

• Strength / Weight Training

  10 minutes and maximum reps of snatch.
  A friend told be about it and said he did 270. Looked it up and that would place him on world top 3, so either too bad he didn’t film it for documentation or his memory is a bit off.

  It sounds brutal!

  Here’s some more info:

  I have 8, 12 and 24 kg. I like having the 24 for swings, snatch and rows, but I also wish I had something in between for some exercises like overhead press and curls.
  Wouldn’t need them in 2 kg intervals just something in the middle but I’ve given up trying to find one. Sold out everywhere and sky high prices secondhand.

  Now that you have a 24kg you can do the Secret Service Snatch Test. ;)

  Not sure if its what you asked for, but the recommendations (for vegans/vegetarians) are 250mcg of B12 daily and 2000 units (50mcg) Vitamin D.
  So if you take those calcium ones you linked to, you’ll not get sufficient vitamin D. Only enough to help with the absorption.

  I can’t recommend brands as I’m in a different country though.

  First time I had it I didn’t like it. Second time (and ever since) I couldn’t stop eating

  I’d let the spoke count decide. Hope sounds like a good deal, but 32h is better If you want them for touring.

  Also miche road hubs are pretty well rated, they use very large bearings that add to the weight but also to their lifetime
