How does one obtain these "Yellow Bourbon" beans, other than going to Northampton? I can only find a Facebook feed...

Epic achievement Skinny! The logo's turned gold because urine our hearts.

On the grease transfer front: I originally used grease for the locking mechanism, but my key would pick up the grease+dirt every time I locked/unlocked it, and so my hands and jeans pockets would get dirty. I now use graphite powder and have never had any issues with it going anywhere.
I can also confirm that the OnGuard Brute does need lubing, or it will lock your bike safely and securely against your will one cold winter day, and hold it ransom until you bring a lube sacrifice (happened to, eh, a friend of mine?).

Acetone, usually. But it will take a bit of soaking.

As for Tokyo outside Ueno market:
I picked up some nice selvedge jeans from Pure Blue Japan (http://www.purebluejapan.jp/about-us/location), they have an awesome deep indigo colour, the thread used to stitch it is also indigo-dyed so you can't really see it.
Also a pair from Kapital (http://kapital.jp/shop/detail/4.html), who do a heavy and rough old-fashioned denim.

I just ordered the black 40mm rear from V-sprint 2 weeks ago, it's unmachined.

I had those Specialized stix lights. By far the smallest lights ever, yet plenty bright to be seen (but not see on country lanes). Only downside was that the battery is also the smallest ever: charges in 20 mins, discharges in...about the same? I lost both of them somewhere before I could return them to Evans for "repair"...
Ta!
