Looks like they should fit your straps:

You could maybe try something like these Wiggle | MKS MT Lite Pedals Flat Pedals

Black and silver rather than all black, and not beautiful but a bit less clunky.

But if the current set-up works for you then no real reason to change.

why don't the pelicans in st james' park fly away?

would you, if you were a pelican there? they get fed fresh fish every day and it's not a bad place to live!

Surely even losing 20kg would be a great achievement? Small steps man, otherwise you just set yourself up to fail and then you'll worry about the giant task in front of you and feel bad about yourself when you miss it - or at least I would. Just focus on trying to eat healthier and less, and do progressively more exercise, and if you stick to it the weight will come off. Keep a note of how much you are losing, which will be good motivation, and then just see how it goes.

When you think about it, that's not bad considering I assume that would be a pretty life-changing amount of weight to lose.

Obviously, you would have to keep it up pretty well to actually lose that weight continuously.

A year. Sensible weight loss is 0.5 -1kg a week.

Ah ok I'll give them a call. Thanks very much for your info.

Oh right, cheers tester. What about the shoes? Provided they fit, nothing as good or better is gonna be anything like that cheap right?

Am I right in thinking that the following combination is absurdly good value, and thus a very good first step down the clipless path?

Shimano M520 SPDs from SJS for £19
Specialized BG Primo Shoes from Cycle Surgery £25

fit!

lol

cool, anyone riding JOGLE gets respect but surely that particular 'record' could be broken with a lap of RP?

apparently the current record is 437 miles!

Nice bike! The modern and classic vibes go well without clashing - altho personally I would maybe go for different pedals. Bars and brake levers look great. I've stolen your pictures to put in a thread I've got going to showcase nice Koga Miyatas, hope you don't mind. http://www.lfgss.com/thread84153.html if you're interested!

^ Picture doesn't work.

Here is another nice KM conversion, I've stolen from ArthurFrayn's thread:

What happened to this?

Boo Evans. Just got this back when price matching the above:

Bad luck! I didn't get this message and didnt have to pay for delivery - got the bar today.

Thanks very much, I can't seem to find any though - this is all their griff gummis I think - http://www.roseversand.com/products/bike-parts/brakes/brakeshift-combinations/accessories/

I think the series I'm looking for them to fit is ST-1055, and none of them say that. So I'm looking for these http://www.euroasiaimports.com/ProductCart/pc/Shimano-ST-1055-Hoods-1400p8408.htm

I guess I'll just have to make do with my old ones, they aren't in terrible condition. It's really hard to tell whether some of the other similar looking ones might actually work fine instead. Thanks very much for your help anyway.

Absolutely top-notch!

Sorry for the thread hijack, but does anybody know if replacement hoods can be gotten for 105 8 speed shifters? (Like the ones in the first post)

Literally, "Too long; didn't read" Said whenever a nerd makes a post that is too long to bother reading.

Something like 5'7'', he was looking for a 55 or so, plus the top tube will be too long for him, so never mind. Thanks for measuring it though.

Ah ok, I was thinking this looked like it might suit a friend but it's too large. Good luck with the sale, nice restoration job.

Size?

Pro-sheen...sounds like something I'd spray on the dog to make its coat shine.

Yeah, First Capital Connect ones go to King's Cross and the Greater Anglia ones to Liverpool Street right? Liverpool St is less good for me, but if it's less crowded then that might be good. Thanks for the tip. Scruffier sounds more fun anyway.

Surely that's quite an easy one to explain? The main reason is having Addison Lee as well as taxis doubles the number of vehicles using the lane. The other, long winded reason is taxis are better drivers - less aggression and less speeding, in smaller vehicles with a better range of view, they know the roads so are less likely to do stupid last minute manoeuvres, they have had additional driver training, they all do the knowledge on scooters so know more about what it's like to be a vulnerable road user, they aren't watching their satnav the whole time. Etc etc.

Did your sister drive when she was in London? Surely she knows, if she did, that taxis are usually (not always!) good drivers, and Addison Lee are considered by virtually every road user to be the worst drivers by far? People I know who drive (and don't cycle) always sympathise with complaints about Addison Lee!
