RPM I instructed my friends to kill me if I ever bought a cycling cap.

Do you mates kill for pink shirt purchases too? (Just in case..)

Try a north/west London cafe.. ;)

Just didn't want you to miss out on 'floggin' your stem' ya know.. ;)

Non-conducting grips on the croppers dude, sorry.

Mine or hers?

From the FAQ: Around 60 miles out the village hall at Great Waldingfield is specially opened by lovely people and you can buy hot drinks and good basic food there. Best avoid the siren call of the open pubs. Unless of course you need coffee/loo. A few all-night garages can be handy.

I guess that means there are some garages on the way?? Anyone done this before know whether or not I can get coffee at 2-3am?

I have a HP and live out west. Bite me!
Besides, I don't wanna don a stabvest to drink my coffee :P

scott not scot how bout this one hippy.....they say dont use hot liquids...but thats just for fear of scalding.....looks perfect?
http://www.sinnport.com/en/index.html (bike bottle) 8hrs warm

Wonder if you can get them here? Also 8hr warm but what happens when you put it in the wind for 200k at 45kph (which I'll be doing, of course :P) You get the idea.
Oh, it comes with a bottle cage which makes me wonder if it's non-standard size? I wanna use my own cages.. Thanks for looking tho!

eeehhhh I also noticed how flat London actually is... no wonder you guys have such high gears compared to my 44:18 here in Basingstoke :P

Nah, London's just full of gumby's that can't spin or overgear for macho points. ;)

How heavy is the .7m Almax chain?

Are those last two links meant to be the same? No, methinks you meant this:

scott not scot the metro mug is a double walled vacuum flask.....that would keep hot long enough surely?

My bad! I totally skipped the first paragraph and thought it was just a tough alu bottle. I'll read it again, from the top, as they say..

That's code for...

Hmm.. could be useful. It's in the calendar..

scott not scot I've used the proper metal sigg water bottles a few times.....their flasks may be the same diameter?....worth e-mailing them maybe?

They're not thermos bottles though, just alu bottles. So they'll cool too quick.

Well, it IS a BLING thread..

kowalski Far more useful.

This place is in Cambridge. Some bikes are overpriced but you can pick up some nice stuff. They are also very helpful and knowledgable.

That's more like it. Guess it'll never happen in London with theft, Halfords, etc..

I got my gf this blue Raleigh. She doesn't really ride it coz she's scared on the road but we've taken it for the odd spin along the Regent's Canal path?
I'm slowly converting her to the way of the bike. She's very patient with me, bikes and computers.. But then, I'm worth waiting for.. hahaha :P

jefefelipe: Was your bike parked in Kensington on Uxbridge road tonight? Spotted a blue jobbie with bullhorns as well as passing a bunch of couriers. I think fixies and singlespeeds now outnumber Bromptons!! ;)

Jontyponty ps I couldn't work out how to pm you, is such a thing possible on these boards?

Never had a cycling cap. They're a bit err daggy. I always figured I'd get one when I found a team obscure enough or with a wacky enough name to warrant a purchase..
Riding in Oz where it's too hot and helmets are compulsory is probably another reason they're not often used.

I raced (ha! I'm knackered) home to check out thermos flasks in Robbie McDyas.
There's a red 0.7L that will fit in a cage but it's only rated for 8hr. The one rated for 24hr (95degC drop to 55degC) is 1L and slightly too big for a cage.
