Ah well, nevermind, I'm in too good a mood this week to care about a few chips in some paint!

I've taken to just buying really cheap jeans, I found that I will eventually ruin the crotch on any pair and a £7 pair from the h&m sale stings the wallet much less.

To be honest I'm not too fussed, I'm having a great time skidding mine all over Bournemouth like a motherfucker and I'm enjoying the ride a lot.

you dont clearcoat powdercoat I believe.

It is essentially a layer of plastic dust that is sprayed onto the frame and stick, its then all melted together in the oven forming a 'shell'. Gloss and strength is dependant upon what the paint powder consists of.

If would have been nice to have known this before I paid extra for a clearcoat!

How's everyone finding there mielecs anyway? I'm having a blast with mine although the paint seems sort of shitty, I'm getting a lot of chips on the seat tube from locking up already, I'm thinking maybe they forgot the clearcoat, they got the colour wrong so I wouldn't be surprised. Is there a way to tell if it has been clearcoated?

12 weeks isn't all that long to wait for a custom frame, I don't know why he would decide to lie and call it 4! So stupid, negative reviews about his reliability aren't going to do him any favours.

nice! it looks pretty good with the silver chainring to match the wheels I reckon. That rear clearance looks tight as fuck!

^^ I demand pics! instantly!

Zoncolan's in general are well slave.

Oh definitely. Easier said than done for somebody with very little will power who works in a bar though! I definitely need to cut down (right after this can)

That saddle looks super ugly on that build for some reason. Slave as fuck though!

I've been thinking about it for a while, I'll be moving from Bournemouth which has a very low bike theft rate to probably a dodgy part of central/north London next month so I thought a secondary lock might be a good buy.

^, ^^ and^^^there is that, thankyou for justifying my drunken impulse buy, you guys are the best.

For some reason every time I try and post in "what are you listening to" on safari on my iphone it crashes. It doesn't happen with any other thread! First world problems right there.

Also, to be honest, drinking less beer would help me to post less in this thread and for any future posts to make more sense...

I obviously don't mean I can't do "any more exercise" but I don't have time for an awful lot more at the moment so I think I'll be better off concentrating on diet.

I have literally no idea what I'm talking about by the way, I've only lost weight through almost complete fluke. I don't think I have time to do any more exercise than I'm currently doing at the moment so I reckon an improved diet is the way forwards. I think recently becoming single might help, my girlfriend was always one for biggish portions and comfort food. I'm at the lightest I've been in my adult life and relatively close to my ideal weight so I'm feeling fairly motivated to shift the excess at the moment!

Ummmmm, why did I just buy a lock for a front wheel that is almost certainly worth less than the lock?

Google tells me that's about right, a few quid cheaper than elsewhere so thanks snottyotter, I think I'll go for it!

Is £29.54 a good price? That seems like a good price...

Yeaaaaaaahhhhh. I think maybe more stomach based exercise would be a good call? Pretty much the only exercise I do is cycling at the moment. Also, less carbs. Way less carbs....

The locust! Holy fuck the locust! (Goes to listen to the locust)

Specific exercise advice rather than diet at the moment would be ideal, I've just moved to a diet much lower in carbohydrate so hopefully that side of things is under control for the time being.

Any tips for losing excess fat around the middle? I seem to have stalled at my current weight with a fair bit of excess held around the stomach and sides for some reason. 28" waist plus love handles is weeeeeiiird looking.
