Just received my new Claris brifters from Rose bikes in Germany.

Looks excellent. I'm a fan of the retro keyboard as well.

Very nice!

As for posting 8 Megapixel images though ...

Didn't want to lose any of the gorgeousness. ;-)

As for using the term "brifters" though...

I think some phone users are still downloading it, and have already got through their monthly download allowance in doing so!

I try to remember to shrink all my pictures before posting them. I settled on a compromise of a maximum dimension of 1,000 pixels which is enough to still look pretty good, but is a less demanding download. With extra compression, they come out at about 1/16th of the original size.

Shouldn't this be in 'mundane news'?

Now that you have finally surfaced - yes!

For the cheapskates that wont buy a Giffgaff unlimited download sim for £18/month I have reduced the size, as for the the mundane news and "brifter" comments .

Your keyboard needs cleaning

I will get the butler to see to it.

Any way I thought £74 delivered was a good price. I will Ebay the current ones which may raise a few quid. A result I think.

New bits are always nice. I got a new deralieur today (almost as cheap as new jockey wheels, and the old one is a bit ropey) and am waiting on new cantilevers, a new stem and a new headset. I've a few nights of fettling ahead.

I have never understood why jockey wheels are so expensive.

That's better - the original took about 25 seconds for me to download on my home wifi!

I only spend £10 every 3 months on GG but I can't get data on it in this valley. (Voice and text performance is vastly better than it used to be on Orange, but the local O2 relay used by GG is useless for data.)
