They have a sale on at the moment too... A rain jacket is on its way to me. £110. Bargain.

I'm almost hitting the buy button on their soft shell jacket, down from £240 to £190. I have the rain jacket, in red, you won't be dissapointed.

Yeah, but did you earn the right to wear it?

Some people do take it literally and thats why they keep quoting the rules everytime one of these threads pops. Its getting rather boring now to be honest.

Maybe the OP - who says he's new to all this - hasn't seen the Velomonati site. So, pointing it out to him with my tongue firmly in my cheek wasn't such a stupid thing.

Rub it in that the red one was in my basket and got removed when they ran out of stock, why don't you?

The black one will just have to do...

It's the replies to my tongue in cheek statement earlier which makes me wish that I'd rediscovered cycling ten years ago.

It really is the new golf now. And not in a good way. And yes, I will continue sniggering at all you lardies labouring your Pinarello (one of four bikes you own, none of which you have a clue how to service ) up a 2% gradient as I idle past on my bike shaped Triban 3. You deserve it......

^The typical response from someone who has made a tit of themselves and is now attempting to backtrack.

 

[Louch]

Can we just let this thread die? More painful reading than my 23 miles in the rain earlier ( decked in decathlons finest)

That says more about you than the bloke puffing his way up a hill on an expensive bike that he bought with his hard earned cash.

If you knew much about bikes you probably wouldn't have bought a Triban!
