    Mr T will be pleased...

    There was a gold-coloured Dura Ace front mech being auctioned off earlier today. It must have
    finished because I can't find it anymore; perhaps someone, somewhere is busy building the Bike With
    Bling Bling.

    Rohloff have two models (8 & 9 speed), but at a much higher price. But they are not listed under
    Chains, you'll find them in the catalogue under Gifts!

    Really cool.

    Maybe one could rig up a bootle/hub dynamo running several lights attached to the cross bar that
    illuminate the chain when cycling.

    A couple of years ago I wouldn't have contemplated owning a bike with a stand, terribly naff! Now I
    have two, have realised I Was Wrong About Stands, and they both get plenty of use. They can be very
    handy things. [un]Loading luggage where there isn't a handy kerb to park a pedal against, for
    example, is significantly easier.

    But it'd cost you 150 quid?

    Ah, but Rohloff did gold chains as well. That's real gold, I hasten to add, not gold coloured. RRP
    was of the order of 150 beer tokens.

    Sounds as though a potential purchaser would need to be interested in
    (a) cycling and (b) chunky gold chains, which means it's an ideal gift for Sir Jimmy Saville!!
