You can tell it's not a Nashbar 105 in disguise because it doesn't have raiders stickers...

needed a warm high viz jacket for cheap as I start a new job on monday that involves cycling of 8 miles every morning in the dark and cold

so I bought a Dunlop High Viz jacket with fleece and inner lining for cheap .... really warm ... and worth the money ....

Not an impostor, lol.

Can't wait to test this out this weekend.

time for a new front light (from monday, I leave home at 05h15 in the pitch dark and it involves an 8 km cycle commute of which half is on roads with no lights

so, I ended up buying one of these Solarstorm Cree lights for cheap .... I have a good back light (Cygolite hotshot)



I will also buy the Hope universal handlebar mount .... guys use this with the Solarstorm instead of using the rubber rings ... you use the same screw that is on the underside of the light (The Hope Bracket screw is the wrong diameter)

Got fitted to my new Masi. And consequently, a new stem. Also came to the conclusion it may be time for a refit on my road bike.

I thought it looked cool but when I showed it to my missus she said that it looks girly so I don't know if I want to put it on my bike anymore. I thought it would go well with my black and white crochet gloves...

I think it looks stylish!

Here is the same tape on my bike

A friend of mine found an uber deal on some light weight oil for home brew chain lube. He found a few 5 quart jugs of Pennzoil 0w20 for the whopping total of $1.00 per jug.

Must have been a closeout or something. Anyway, he's giving me a 5 quart jug. I'll probably take him out for a beer for his generosity. Looks like I'll have plenty of home brew chain oil for the next couple of months.

If you don't count the bike from the co op for the wife that I haven't paid for yet, I did just get some new BB bearings! Hopefully that will take care of the creaking...the same day I got the new bearings I also got a new crankset for my commuter. Hopefully that will stop the squealing (the spindle was separating from the drive side arm - with a GXP crankset/bb. Nothing that can be done about it but replacing it). Hopefully that will be two drivetrains that run quiet and smooth now.

Where did you get it?

Love mine, it is a really sweet bike.

TBH, looking girly stopped being a concern on the first ride wearing lycra.

Most recently bought some cycling clothing, despite my skepticism -- although I'm still planning to avoid the boy racer looking stuff.

• Shimano Storm Jacket. Great windbreaker, warm enough down into the 30s with a long sleeve t-shirt weight jersey. Almost too warm above 60F. No idea about rain resistance yet, it hasn't rained recently. Should be a good walking casual rain jacket/windbreaker too.
• Pearl Izumi transfer baselayer. I was tired of the clammy-then-chilly cotton t-shirts this winter. After a week with the PI undershirt, I'm sold. It's all that and a biscuit. Very comfy.
• Louis Garneau Genesis jersey. Seems okay. Ultra-thin material, too cool this time of year to know how comfortable it'll be this summer. Feels a bit snaggy on my fingertips, but the material hasn't pilled up so far. Very casual look and fit, barely looks like a cycling jersey unless you notice the rear pockets.

I'll probably add a couple more Nashbar poly jerseys, which look casual rather than bikey.

I bought the dunlop Hi Viz jacket from a store in Cambridge called sports direct. It's really warm, as it's fleece lined and the zips are good quality. I paid £17 for mine. You can find them on google/ebay, but the ones to look for are the ones that are fleece lined

New saddle for my new bike.




I really dig the black and white bar tape.

Your bicycle isn't required to be a pillar of masculinity, it's supposed to look good and get you to the podium.

I got this today.

Have some of their stuff already but this is the first of their Nth Series product I've purchased. It is super nice, a really high end garment. Probably my new favorite jersey.
