  1. Is that Helen in this month's Cycling + cartoon, with matronly bosoms heaving?

    Dunno, it takes WH Smith longer to get it on the shelves in deepest Swindon.

    Now I know why I don't buy Cycling Plus! I find that cartoon extremely offensive.

    To be honest I found that I thought it had the potential to be extremely offensive and woudn't be
    suprised if others found it so.

    I'm a bit reluctant nowadays to think and speak for other people as regards offence.

    Give it a couple more months. Mine only took 2 months to arrive. Mind you, when it eventually
    arrived it was the wrong size (an XXL labelled as an M). Upon hearing a description of the ludicrous
    size, Tony Farrelly agreed to replace it and I now have a genuine medium one.

    It's a nice enough jersey, but quality it ain't. It appears to be the most cheaply constructed
    jersey I have ever worn (not a patch on the one that I got for under a tenner from probikekit.com).

    I can't see it myself (except maybe for certain religious groups). But then I found the Cannondale
    advert highly amusing.

    I'd be more inclined to take offense at the cartoon in the November issue, which expected us to
    accept that a 4' diameter sprocket would be ideal for breaking speed records. There's a limit to how
    far I can suspend disbelief!

    You mean she popped down to the newsagent to pick up the comic for you and hasn't been seen
    since? ;-)

    OH bugger! I just realised that's another bill she has left me with!

    I'll have to take your word on that. I ordered from ProBilkIt and after 2 months and 0
    communication from them (other than a substantial charge on my bank statement), I still hadn't seen
    that wonderful quality you speak about. When I called them, they lied about the reason why I never
    received my order.

    ProBilkIt also told me they weren't too concerned about my satisifaction and the negative word of
    mouth I might generate. Because they've grown so rapidly they must be right in the way they treat
    their dissatisified customers. I wonder if they're right about that...

    Yes the mechanics don't seem right somewhere!

    That's quite shocking. I've ordered from them a couple of times and been very satisfied.

    I wondered if your orders could have been more recent than mine, but I just checked and found that
    my last order was only 6 months ago.

    my last order was only 6 months ago.

    I ordered within the last 3 months. When I asked why I had never been informed of problems to my
    order, nor received a response to my emails asking where my order was, I was actually told that they
    receive too many emails to answer. (Having grown 5 fold in the last 2 years, I believe).

    If everything goes well, fine, but my experience is that their problem resolution is [censored].
