I couldnt believe it either
I dont know how PlanetX can get stuff so cheap?
Because they buy them in as oem to put on bikes and then decide to sell it to you guys to make 50p on it!
A customer of ours got it cheaper through wheelbase though...closer to a grand and that was at 0% over three years.
Touch just buy that and sell the chainset, buy a 53/39?

It's my Happy Birthday, Happy, Happy Birthday! 
Mrs Hincapie bought me a pair of Oakley Radars! Polished white with blue iridium lenses. They match my Kask K10 perfectly! #Coordinated #Awesome wife

This is what I do, lycra shorts are awesome to wear but I don't want to be seen in them just yet!

Happy Birthday fella! Nice pressie - haven't yet decided what I'll be getting yet. I'll let Mrs Calls know nearer the time.
Going out for my first century (miles) ride of the year on Sunday. Can't wait - longest ride of 2012 so far has been ~100k so it'll be good to give the legs a proper stretch. Should be in the region of 4500 ft of climbing so not hugely hilly, following the Northern Rock (now Virgin Money
) Cyclone route loosely.

GRRR I just can't my new tyres on the rims no matter what I try. Damn things just won't stretch that little bit to get the last bit round the rim.
Beginning to think they're the wrong size lol - 700x23cs going a Boardman Roadcomp and I'm sure the Continentals were that size.
I guess I must just be weak / a spaz with tyre levers

I always struggle getting tyres on
If you do buy one, I suggest you get this (as does everyone else, judging by the reviews):
Topeak Joe Blow Sport II Track Pump
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/topeak-joe-blow-sport-ii-track-pump/
It's very good indeed and the gauge is also pretty darn accurate, meaning no peeing around with that silver Halfords thing to check pressures after you've pumped up the tyre is necessary.
Have one of these at work and one at home. Excellent pump requiring very little effort.

13c tomorrow - who's going to be wearing short sleeves? Seems like an opportunity to start the tan lines.
