yes, ok fair enough.

it wasn't just him, i've noticed a lot of people do it, rather than send the item back, and it confuses me, and makes me feel sad.

Apologies if it makes you feel sad.

If nobody does want the bag then i'll send it back. With all the hassle of wrapping it and finding a post office and queueing and paying to send it, i would rather just loose a couple of £'s.

I went to Condor yesterday. The wouldn't let me exchange it.

Two reasons;

Firstly, I thought if someone was already looking at buying the bag, a nice 10% discount on a brand new one would be appreciated. Secondly, Chainreaction cycles are based in Ireland. It would cost me almost what I am losing in sending it back to them.

I have a brand new Metropolis (only arrived in the post yesterday, still with tags on). I bought the one up from the size I need.

Chainreaction cycles do them for £99.99 (where I bought it). Would like £90.

do you have the spec for the orange imac please?

thanks

Has to be In Rainbows!

I have just switched to O2. Hate them as a mobile supplier but they are excellent as a broadband supplier.... took 3 days from ordering online to being connected (including sending out router etc).

I pay £15 per month and get anywhere between 16 and 22mbps... It is also not d/l capped.

The article wasn't that bad. For someone who doesn't know about Fixed or Single-speed bikes it is quite informative.

The "testimonials", however, were purely about what they were wearing and how good their bike looked.

Interested in orange imac.... have you got a spec?

Media as well.... wooooooo

The stickers on the front wheel are my favourite bit

Interesting that the rim in the picture has Carbon written on it but the description is for Alu rims

£15? http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_payg_details.asp?ItemKey=156574&NetKey=2

dunno if it's the same model, but someone did have an electronic system in the last TdF

Fair enough.... are there rules against electronic equipment on bike?

i dont like it

I don't think it will work....

Won't be reliable enough for people to use it on the Tour etc

I know it's no help to a single speed or fixed gear but it's still quite interesting

Would add Marque Moon - Television to the mix as well

Obviously not enough money to design a good website

Started at 8, finished at 12. Good ride and a nice day. Saw a few fixed going the other way a few miles in.

Posties were awesome.

Hi Pete,

I am in Cambridge on Sunday, can i take a look?

I am going with my work on Thursday.... oh what fun :(

I moved to London 2 weeks ago and it's still 20 miles to the start line!!!

I am also doing this. Did it last year on geared, should be fun with ss

+lots not riding it alone.

I've done a few longer cycles, mostly about 80-90miles but one was a double century (200miles) with a friend. We did it for fun (!).

We averaged just under 17mph (12hrs of cycling time) but then we were doing it as a challenge. I'd say that bike fit is incredibly important - mine is not the best and I had various numb bits afterwards. I had a problem with numb toes since I was using SPDs and touring shoes so the cleat was pressing slightly into my foot. I also got bad shoulder ache from just letting my back rest forward on my arms.

Planning a route that goes past several villages with shops is a very good idea so you can refill water bottles and food supplies.

A few useful points.
I used GPS to navigate (much easier).
I broke 3 spokes on my rear wheel - check it before you go, maybe take some spares too.
I couldn't go near sweet food by the end of the cycle.
Padded shorts = essential.
Repair kit = essential.

(If you're interested http://www.jwshale.com/cycling/doublec/doublec.html )

Hope this is useful.

Looks like a good route.... quite flat where I used to live in Willingham. I take it this wasn't single speed?

Needing to work with Windows makes my desktop sad :(
