Two carbon Elite bottle cages at a stupid price.
One long sleeve Assos jersey at a ridiculous price.
Pair of Assos leg warmers at an insane price.
New 13/29 Chorus rear cassette for l'etape (one day only) at an outrageous price.
Well, at least my money's going fast even if I'm not...

mally, nice haul. how's your training coming along? man u. got lucky against the gunners. chelsea v arsenal should be very good. weather should be improving there, yes? all the best in your preparations for your big l'etape. climb.

I used to shop in Dauphin at Box Hill (a bit of a drag to get to but well worth a visit and lots of good stuff and great guys in there to persuade you to part with hard earned) and also Sigma Sport in Hampton is good. I always ended up spending at least 100 quid when I ventured into these shops...fatal. Best thing to do is to ration visits!
Miss the roads in the countryside around London (especially Surrey Hills) but don't miss the weather. Where do you train....are you in a club in London?
My long term project is a Serotta Ti but I have to save up! Any tips from England on where to buy?
Good luck

I bought at a shop called Shorter Rochford in Finchley. Sometimes I buy at Condor. Naturally, I only went in to look!! Mind you, my wife caught me on this forum the other night and said she was fast coming to the opinion that she'd rather I looked at porn!
Hi Climb, Man Utd seemed to be more 'up for it' than Arsenal yesterday - Chelsea beat us at Spurs to put them within striking distance of the title, so Arsenal could be looking at a disappearing treble!
Weather here is getting better. Out this morning for a 62 mile training ride, which was great - I knew those Assos legwarmers would have an effect! Still, we had four seasons in one morning, but a great ride.

Mally,

So how's the running? Did you get any running shoes? Or has it gotten warm enough to forget about running... ;)
