Silver R3 SLs for a tenner more for something a little less noticeable (slightly)
If the red ones are still about in a month I might have to get them to match the hubs on my new wheels.
Check the bargains spotted thread on bike radar forum..commuting chat section. Costs you more money seeing bargains too good to miss than you need.

These monkeys... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-New-410g-MTB-Novatec-Mountain-bike-DISC-hubs-D711SB-D712SB-Shimano-SRAM-/271246814230Lashed to some H Plus Son - Archetype rims. Yumbo. To go on my Genesis Croix de Fer, so needed disc hubs. Those novatecs are supposedly superb for the price, just as good hope hubs but half the price. A wheel builder I've chatted to on the bike radar forum raves about them. Should help shed some weight off my steel beast. Planning on joining Swindon road club for some spins on a Saturday morning soon too, flying from Purton to Nationwide House 5 days a week is getting a bit boring now. |

Are the changing rooms at NH still hotter than the sun or have they managed to find the thermostat ?

The new machine has arrived  Going to pop out later and scope out some shoes and pedals so I can get out on it properly, but had a quick blast around the block with my flats on it earlier and loved it. |

Good stuff! Just remember from experience, pretty ladies, clipless pedals and traffic lights often end in disaster!  If you are ever in Lancashire/Cumbria and fancy some proper hills give me a shout.... I will be the one labouring.... |

Seconded  I attempted the round the IOW ride on Saturday - had to abandon as the weather really closed in and it was really nasty/dangerous on some exposed roads. Fuck me the IOW is very hilly. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/360470136 |

It's going to take a while for me to get used to the compact gearing after spending years on a mountain bike. Although the weight difference should help. Being the geek that I am I weighed it earlier at 8.4kg (including the heavy flat pedals). That's a 5kg saving over my MTB!

Thats quite a saving. At least you are going the right way, going Road to MTB must be a bitch |

Took a trip to Origin this afternoon only to find they were shut  So much for using a LBS. |

Nope. Gone for the Vitus Zenium VRS. Mix of 105 & Tiagra for £680, plus I actually love the looks too.
That looks very sweet..... |
