    Just bought this for $200 (or 100 quid in old money). Probably will be buy in haste, regret at length but thought it would be good to get me going.

    yeah, thought it was okay as it was missing the 'r' as a second letter.

    Get one of those Wellington Tunnel tops to go with the whole green theme. 'Spect somewhere will sell you some green arm-warmers too.

    Could *almost* write bianchi up the side in sharpie and get a away with it :). And the tunnel is in Dunedin :)

    I'm just wondering how I am going to negotiate the 'red and green should never be seen rule'.

    Didn't notice I'd typed that.
    Didn't notice the zip-tie cable-tethers before. Maybe that's why the bar tape seeks to distract.

    Brown's great. Brown is almost as adaptable as (and more protective/defensive than) grey and much less showy than green.

    Brown has it's uses. I was wearing a particularly vile brown orange and cream stripy tie today. It is so bad it's wonderful.

    The zipties are gone, baby, gone. He replaced them with something a bit more solid.

    Just realised that most of my cycling gear, my pedals, my lights and my lock are in a box somewhere around the suez canal. Harumph. May look for some dollar lights in the warewhare.

    "May look for some dollar lights in the warewhare"

    Other forms of language are available (in the northern hemisphere).

    The Warewhare. Slang for The Warehouse, where everyone gets a bargain. And some truly horrible advertising...
