I meant the classic cherries in a jar, the local stuff isn't too different, the syrup is the sauce I guess.

As a Frenchman in Denmark I am dismissive of the local mayonnaise (without mustard in it it's not mayo) however I have fully embraced rémouleuh with chips.

I'm not sure anyone makes their own cherry sauce. CSB but I used Fabbri amarena sauce for the Christmas rice pudding once and the in-laws loved it.

Kevin Sayles has decades of experience but his bikes are not old-fashioned, definitely should be considered IMO.
Mario Vaz at Varonha (ex Roberts) makes some lovely filet-brazed frames too.

Blandness doesn't dilute consumerism.

It is the same logic that made you order a custom frame?

@Vbulman can you fit a Soma on your Soma though?

ultimate MGOOF.

It's a shit frame to start with, and welding disc tabs on those forks is dodgy at best if not dangerous.

Ouch. I'm not ordering much from the UK anymore but that's worth bearing in mind for future purchases.

I do miss Decat though...

I don't know about the e-cargo but the MK5 is sold in Denmark in supermarkets (own bike-brand), with half the watts but also half the price. I have seen the Butcher at a LBS (Centurion Challenger as it is called here) and it just looks cheap.
Basically they're not their own designs and I'm not sure they are worth the money.

Chris King Classic hub (10s): what spacers do you need for a 10s cassette?

@dancing james?

BTwin cleats out of stock?

I want to see Maguras in 90s yellow on this.

Not "real" but cool nonetheless.

It's a film car.

Full Kit Wanker

That's pro team kit head-to-toe though, not single-brand.

Now that is a car worth restoring! Where did you find it?

I'm not going to use them.

You should...

I'd get a Mason for that sort of money.

The woman on the pic thought it was funny BTW.

It bought bits and bobs from them (on a trade accounts), including a Soma frame, and it was very clear it's a one man operation and you're better not be in a rush for special orders. Nothing wrong with any of this, it's just not a big business.

its not an inclusive brand

A lot of what PNS are or aspire to be is basically "Rapha 10 years ago". A lot of their ambassadors are ex-Rapha. A lot of the regulars on their rides are ex-RCC. Their doing a January 500 of sorts. They have a mobile cycle club. etc etc. It's well executed, but not very original.
They're obviously very popular here in their hometown and a lot of their customers moved on (up?) when the plebs / recreational riders started to wear Rapha. The irony is for a brand owned by a fashion designer their loyal customers pretty much wear a uniform (block colour jersey, white sock, white S-Works shoes, Prizm road Oakley etc. And half of them ride S-Works Tarmac or their Cannondale collab. You should see their club ride. It's about status but in a very let's not stick out too much Danish way.
Can't deny the commercial success though. Here at least.

It's the heritage that counts.

Nah, there's plenty of awful ones around, they attract a certain type. Celeste everything, Bianchi jersey, waxing lyrical about their "Italian thoroughbred".

In a world of watts and weight weenies, we are the misfits.

Oh Russ. This is not ageing well.
