Aye and £111 for the K18s, Something worth considering though is both these k18 & 24 are 2007 brakes.

These look nice :D

I'd go for Oro Bianco or Puro's for the bling, they might be what 3 years old but they where very very good brakes* then and in reality still are now.

Might be getting some puro's tomorrow if brown santa turns up;)

What jerseys does everyone have?

Im currently wearing endura cairn jerseys over the top of a base layer,ive got a few of them as they are pretty cheap but a little on the boring side being plain black and grey

Im after something similar not too motorcorss /freeride in your face style but then i dont want anything too tight.

Can anyone recommend anything?

Thanks

I've got a couple of team type jerseys for the road bike and a few PBK ones too. When I'm on the MTB I use a Gore Bike Wear Alp X III Thermo jersey, in black.

It's quite an amazing bit of bike kit, possibly the best thing I've ever treated myself to for the bike. It's so good I'm using it on my commute now and I'll be ordering another one very soon. Wee bit pricey but not too bad. :)

That photo is probably 7 years old now but not a thing has been changed on it since it was taken :p

Both rather modest compared to most in this thread :o

Finally got my backplate, ordered back in December :D Really happy with it, looks bulky but hardly visible under a jersey and so light you forget it's on after a few minutes.

I'm sure Ichabod will be along shortly to compliment my photography.

How come you choose the back plate over say a full pressure suit?

And ever heard of a flash :p

After using a couple of suits I just didn't like them, I normally ride with a camelbak as it is so wanted to keep it minimal, and spine protection was my main concern, even the ones quoted as not being bulky are still bulkier than I wanted.

Also, my phone isn't posh enough for a flash :D
 
Did a 20k night ride offroad (rooty singletrack, paths, tracks) on the CX bike tonight. Hopefully that will sort out my bad riding habbits from riding full sus for so long. :cool:
