First proper ride should be tomorrow (partly because I've promised to pop by TBC with it). Just need to strengthen the connection at the front still, but should be easily done.</p> <p>Going to get so many weird looks. And oging to have to leave earlier cos I reckon the extra weight and so on might make it rather a slow rig over distance - for the same reason maybe take the easy route in the morning of the Innocent. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8045&page=2#post-81139 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:34:40 +0000 kaputnik 81139@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For giggles and shots, please. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8045&page=2#post-81137 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:21:32 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 81137@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>By the same token I could take the Noomaded bike along for a giggle. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8045&page=2#post-81124 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:30:18 +0000 kaputnik 81124@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If it's the Aeron DHBs, they're most excellent.

It is very good, once you look past the price... </p> <p>I also have loads of carradice stuff, so hopefully the two cancel out! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8045&page=2#post-80990 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:34:14 +0000 gembo 80990@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We do also love carradice I should add. None of us fessing on owning Rapha tho. I have a pal who asked me what cycling thing he should get his brother as he had everything. I said get him a Rapha top as nobody would ever buy themselves such a thing. He thought that idea was spiffing but on finding out the price he bought him some bolt cutters instead </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8045&page=2#post-80989 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:25:46 +0000 Arellcat 80989@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo, one CCEer here with no Ortlieb products, but four of Carradice! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8045&page=2#post-80988 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:39:32 +0000 Uberuce 80988@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Gembo, another one is taking a picture of <u><strong><em>everything</u></strong></em> then hosting them on Flickr, Twitter and the forum with indecent haste. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8045&page=2#post-80963 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:40:10 +0000 ExcitableBoy 80963@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>gembo: "Any other traits we allshare?"</p> <p>A sense of amazement at the QBC? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8045&page=2#post-80956 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:30:33 +0000 Min 80956@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Rapha group?
