hmmmm,

in indoor trainer

the mind boggles

how much does she cost per hour

does she have big mellons ?

you've got an indoor trainer and you never use her ?

are you batting for the other side ?

Milan.

Cost was about £100 to buy it outright, that was about 10 years ago though so with the inflation I reckon it will be about double that.

thing is now I've got this bike I don't want to get it dirty

it's too nice

what to do ?

Milan.

Get an indoor trainer. I have one of those as well, I even have a special wheel & tyre for it. Never use it though.

Lights are a must have, as is a hard hat.
Decent lock and repair kit as you never know when you will need them. If you have those then some sort of bag to carry them. I use a Rucksack but am considering panniers.
You need eye protection (dark and clear lenses), squinting through the wind and rain is not a good idea.
Drinks bottle is handy for longer trips.
I am also considering mud guards.
I have a trip computer, but never use it.

yep, I've bought books from a big company in the US and they mark them as marketing material !


anyway, back to business, what shall I get for the bike,

tachomter ?

compass ?

saddle bag ?

lights ?

Milan.

I have every bike gadget going. The ones I use most are the massive **** off £100 lock, mudguards (even on a dry day this will stop stones hitting you in the face when off road), sunglasses for similar reasons, lights (they are a legal requirement in most EU countries AFAIK) and my pulse meter, which also does odometer & speedometer duties. I would invest in a decent pump as well.

You have almost inspired me to leave my house.

Oh yes, a lightweight raincoat can be handy if you're likely to end up out in the rain. Cycling ones tend to have longer backs.

[milanbenes]

yep


I guess best is to keep it vanilla otherwise it's gonna look like one of those Sierra's with all the Halfords extras

still, Suity never replied back with what toys he's got on his bike, he only moaned (fecking bed wetter) about not entering the L2B

Milan.

RH thanks for the link they look good. Did you get done for VAT being from the US?

I'll have a look at the Flare ones.

Panniers - course then you can pick up some Kitty litter on the way home

Make sure you buy 2 bags though.

Nope they mark them as gifts. Some people do get stung though, but frankly at that price I don't care.
BTW they're from China.
