Are the thermos stainless steel ones any good?

Apparently yes, they are

This is the one I've got. I've used it regularly for lunchtime soup
and it works. Fill it with boiling water whilst your soup/chana masala
is heating up in the microwave, pour water away, fill up with lunch...
just about still piping hot 4/5 hours later.

...Also, with it being stainless steel it washes really well, no
stains or lasting odours, particularly handy when most of my lunches -
and your chana masala (just realised my girlfriend got that cook book
for Xmas. Yay!) - contain yummy colourful things like turmeric. :)

Vanilla for me, but I put a shot of coffee in it and drink it with milk instead of water

Interested 2nd dibs if it doesn't go

Curious which one that is now as I'm in Greenwich and occasionally looking (though not in any position to go gazumping). PM the link?

How do I know if I'm professional enough

It may be relatively high but that's neither a good nor a bad thing. With training you'll likely run faster at the same HR, but you should only be comparing your HR to your HR, not to anyone else's.
A clubmate who is 15yrs older than me runs a similar pace to me. At our 5k pace his HR sits in the high 180's, mine in the low 170's. We just have a different 'normal'

Pics fixed...

Will be 109mm if it came off a CAAD12, yep.
This guy had the same issue and found where to buy the spacers from (ended up being US by the look of it)

Yeah, CAAD12 and recent Synapse are BB30A, which are 5mm wider than BB30.

This seems to back up what you've seen...

'Cannondale Hollowgram BB30A cranks will work on both BB30 (68mm BB width) and BB30A (73mm bb width) by changing the non-drive side spacers.'

Give Sigma Sport a call as they're a Cannondale dealer. The workshop were really helpful when sitting there swearing at my frameset didn't fix anything. Swift Cycles are also a Cannondale Dealer (I'm assuming you're in London)

Or this might be promising

@PhilDAS The cranks would be 5mm wider right? CAAD12 is BB30A (73mm) and CAAD7 is BB30, 68mm?

Though I'm not sure where you'd get the spacer. I went through the faff of getting a C Bear bottom bracket to use an Ultegra crankset with the CAAD12.

Shorter spindle? Used to be a 104mm but I'd guess you have 109mm on that. Though whether that'd mess with the chainline. (mostly guessing)

I stumped up for the Kickstarter a couple of years ago but it didn't reach its goal

I'm mustering up some outrage for OPs situation. Really.

In the meantime, nice kitchen @benjam, where are the units and worktop from?

Any south London clubs do track sessions on Wednesday? Mate does Runhead on Tuesdays but wants to do something to work on speed. He's just broken 17 mins for 5k, 2:48 marathon so no slouch.

Anyone interested in some Natural Selection Chinos? Bought them at a sample sale but I prefer a tapered leg so never ended up wearing them.

they're 10oz Kuroki Japanese selvage twill cotton

Combi. Replacing an existing one in the same place as the old. They're in Blackheath, SE3.

A friend just had a Worcester Bosch installed with the Magna Filter and a smart (wifi/app controlled) thermostat.
£1925 incl installation

Edit. nm, the one I have is a 170mm

Pickup only by Friday, otherwise will be tossed.

And worth mentioning where to pick up from

Gotta be 175mm? Have got a vgc 172.5mm 6800 chainset

Edit - sold to broken_777

I think the £12,400 price tag was a multi finger gesture.
