All dressed up and no place to go?

Yeah, they won't let me in the pub wearing them.

Bendertherobot wasn't he?

Yes I think you are spot on - I used to like his reviews and blog, but I don't think they exist or are updated anymore.

I recall placing an order for a couple of handlebar bags once from the US, we split the cost, and I sent his onto him.
Despite all this, I can't recall his name.....

His blog contained the word Roubaix I am sure.

Chris Humphrey's.

Where oh where is Milemuncher? Sigh.

Also, Vtech?

He made for some interesting reading

I must say that I find it less and less therapeutic as I get older. I mean, they can put a Rover on Mars and send us pictures and take soil samples but they can't make chains that don't need cleaning or lubricating. I do like the result but the process itself leaves me a bit flat and the OH is not happy about me boiling them in a pot on the cooker*.

*I'm a waxer me. Shh.

Did spellchecker change that to waxer?

It's probably not your shorts.

Yep.

Chris Humphrey's.

Aha, now I understand!

Found his blog address, but there's nothing there sadly: https://roubaixcycling.cc/

It was 10 years ago he started it to be fair.

lowercase is best, subtlety in everything

e e cummings might have agreed

at least you allowed yourself the luxury of a comma

A comma?! I think it's shameless profligacy. The man knows no bounds.

a beans thread is essential for any forum aspiring to gain the attention of the tabby

If you think I am going to demote Beans, you've got another thing coming.

That's a shame I remember thinking his reviews were good

Surely there's a shopping thread here somewhere!?

That depends if you're buying - https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/found-a-bargain-do-tell.16260/ - and if you find something please post it.

Or have already bought - https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/what-have-you-bought-for-the-bike-today.157446/ - of which I appear to be propping up the cycling industry. Please add your purchases ...

My name is HD and came over on small boat from bikeradarland! I R being persecuted over there so seek asylum.
I can provide banter and pics of my puppy if that helps.

Ooooh
That’s put an image in my head that’s going to be hard to shift.
Put me right off my lunch.

Hopefully you won't step on too many toes by continuing your GT threads. Sterling work these last few years Blazing 👌
