My Grifter had twist grip Sturmey Archer 3 speed, twist grip shifting is kind of back on MTB today.
I had a grifter - it was like a BMX but made out of scaffolding |

The boy Simon Yates looks a prospect....took the Tour of Britain stage up Haytor today in fine style. Twin brother Adam is decent too.
I'd imagine Brailsford has got at least Simon, if not both on his radar.

And now on to lights........
Having been considering a Lezyne Power Drive XL front light. Would love a Lezyne Mega Drive, but can't justify the cost.
Road I commute on is only partially lit and is as bumpy and pot-holey as buggery! I want to see hazards so that I can miss them. Hence looking at high lumens.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Think of all of those long winters training in the Australian sunshine. Poor sods.

Heard Brailsford interviewed at the weekend He said there is so much young British talent about at the moment, and Sky can't employ them all. He seemed quite please they were going to OG, and sort of hinted they could learn their trade and then he'd have them |

I bought the Lezyne power drive xl last month and it is very good. Bright, with a wide beam, and good battery life.
I did a 24 hour race around an unlit Thruxton circuit and had no problems. Worth the extra for the 'loaded' pack which contains spare battery and helmet mount.

Having a front wheel puncture this morning at 35mph+ was a bit of a buttock clenching moment.

Nasty - all ok ? I had a sidewall blowout last year just as I crested a hill, a minute later I would have been doing similar speeds. Switched to Continentals after that. |
