CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
To all CCE'rs
As it's very very quiet and footfall is down, we are doing deals all week and the best one is today. 15% off if you spend over £50 in the webshop.
You can of course come and pick the items up in person or we can send out if you prefer.
Is now the right time to get into a set of ortlieb hi viz backrollers? Or perhaps a nudge to your nearest and dearest for pointers for Santa etc.
Cheers
Mark
Argh, get thee behind me satan! I'm meant to be buying presents for other people. Non bikey people.

What Min said...
Anyway, come the New Year I've earmarked TBC for every single bit to go on the >X< build (if you can get me white Goldtec hubs... ;) )...
TBC, what have you got in the Brooks B17 department?
And for what it's worth I'm not 'just saying that' - the last couple of bike builds I've done virtually everything was bought online, and I've just been feeling lately that misses an undefinable something out of the process. Edinburgh has a lot of good bike shops, TBC has that undefinable something I've been looking for.

And there ye go. The daddy.
It's to go on a dark blue bike with yellow bar tape, ortliebs and mudguards and stainless steel headset / stem / bars.
Brown or Black?
Ahem. Always Brown or Honey.
Druidh went with Black alas but he has no concept of how much fail this is.
The Brown is softer. mmmm. Cossetting.
g****mn devils. Was quite close to buying a brooks elsewhere online. Im coming over....
Any sign of 622mm Marathon Winter? If you have some I'll take three.
Wiggle now say mid Jan, SJS no longer have a prediction.
Looking like 'piece of string' type thing now. Rep shrugged shoulders yesterday, might make a great Summer Tyre though ;-)

So, I quote TBC website - "The Brooks B17 in black - classy and elegant in looks and heritage"
I take it that Druidh wrote that page then too? :)
I'm just ordering it now (in honey). Can I pick it up tomorrow?
You can
See you then.
My posterior looks forward to it (the Brooks, not the visit to TBC)
Now that's service.
Edit: Did you just buy the last black? Doh!
I'm just ordering it now (in honey).
TBC would have me on failblog if I bought it in black
Correct. Total Fail ;-)
Ahh, but black is the new brown... ;-)
In that case, honey brown is the new yellow - hence my purchase. Unfortunately it seems I missed the limited edition re-issue of Brooks Colts in yellow.
Oh so there is no black :( honey would not go with my frame at all...
A passe brown may well find its way onto my mtb* as it is boring white and therefore style is optional... a (very comfortable) far classier black flyer will of course be passed on to the LHT when it arrives ;-)
*ok, "will"... order submitted!
Hrmm. Do you do the web store prices in store?
I think I might be interested in a pair of the Shimano R077 shoes (and pedals to go along with) but I'd really need to come in to size up and have a think about it.
Never mind, I just phoned.
I have to say that the Bike Chain have a singularly excellent telephone manner; I pretty much decided to splash some cash before I even finished explaining what I wanted.
Off on a post-work adventure then - I'm strictly a southsider, oo-er!
Order received and processing!
Follow the pole star. No idea how you'll get home though.
Dave leaves happy with new shoes.
My black B17 is treated but not yet fitted. It will be going on the "mighty" Amazon when road conditions are better (actually that might be tomorrow - whoopee!)
I just bought stuff. CURSES!
Still at least I'll be getting that multitool and woolen buff (I will of course model it on Friday) and recovery drink for when I run out of milkshake (quite frequently) that I've been wanting for aaaages.
Looks like TBC are doing good business! I've logged on late and missed it all.
Wonder if they have any of these nice bright rear rack lights on offer?
