  1. Went into Decathlon at lunchtime, just for a nosey.
    Why do I go into bikeshops...

    700C wheelset, reduced from 69 to 34 pounds.
    I couldn't resist.
    Miche hubs, 28 spoke, with stainless steel black spokes.

    Anyone know if these are any good?
    Too late now really...

    Tomorrow you'll need to go back for a frame. Oh, and some chainrings.
    Maybe a seat post and saddle? Then there's the front derailleur (and a
    rear one). A set of pedals.... Yes, these wheels are going to turn out
    to be a real bargain ;-)

    Naaah.
    I already replaced the cassette for a wider range one (transformed the
    bike). SRAM chain also.
    Put new 42cm wide handlebars on at the weekend, the excude being
    an Italian tourist doing the continental green cross code a few months ago,
    and bars being a bit bent.

    New frame... now you are talking.
    Can I have the titanium Merlin Extralight frame I saw at Eastway on
    Sunday? Ooohhh.....
