btw my steel Audax cost me a bit over £1,000 (complicated cos I fiddled about with options) about three and a half years ago. And I was happy at that price (although I wouldn't buy another SRAM GXP BB again)

I was just on their website and I saw that the model that I have (steel Audax) is reduced to £850

A bargain, I'd say.

That does look like good value, to say the least. Not sure I could live with black though.

I've had my eye on the 631 tourer in blue for a while. I'm not sure I could tell the difference between 631 and 725 anyway, and I've never had a bike that shade of blue. But it wouldn't really do anything my current bike doesn't. It's a vibrant red, which always gets admiration when I'm in any sort of group (rarely). And it's aluminium, allowing me a bit of anti-snobbery which I quite enjoy.

But the bluey does look very nice, and I'm going to be a long time dead.

Used them for two, month long heavily loaded trips and general day to day stuff for about 18 months now. No problems, they still run true and I haven't had to touch them.

that all sounds wonderful and the reason I went for them. Will be testing them soon!

I've got two Rigida Sputnik wheels built by Spa.

Great.

A world away from the pringles that came with my Speed Pro.

My Spa Nidd saddle broke the other week. The bracket that holds the adjuster screw at the front snapped.
I rang them up and spoke to a lad called Tom. I explained what had happened, and he asked me to send a picture.
He was back on the phone in 2 minutes saying the saddle had failed somehow.
There was a no quibble 'send it back, we'll give you a new one'

2 days later I had a new saddle (to break in!)
