Never tough to justify carbon.

Anyway, you've beaten me. Too cryptic.

:rant:

FFS it's a BLUE pedal.

The give away being the slither of blue pedal next to the spindle.

Here's a better look

I am going to be the coolest boy in the village.
All the girls are going to flock to me.

Of that there is no doubt.

Didn't know Littlehampton was a village.

Keep up slow coach.

I've moved and am now even closer to Hampshire.

I'm the wrong side of The Arun.

What's occurring with those wheels. Do they already have tyres on them, only I can't see from the picture of they have white tyres or not.
And what's with the two protruding bits and notch on each of them?

Edit:
Ignore the first bit. I've just clicked on the attachment link and it lets me as zoom in closer. I can see they have no tyres on yet. Still curious about the two protruding bits and the notch. Are the protruding bits to fit reflectors to or something?

Yeah I assume they're for reflectors.
I might saw them off, as I'll be too cool for reflectors.

The front wheels spindle is ever so slightly wider than the fork eyelet but that should be ok with a minor file down.


Tyres on their way - just couldn't wait to see what it'll look like.

Ah, ok. Surely not too cool for handlebar tassles though?

I'm confused by the back wheel. Do you have a cassette to put on it?

FFS man it's not rocket science :lol:

I had 20 inch MAG wheels delivered at 8:30.
Rushed out and excitedly slotted them and yesterday's pedals onto The Strat.
Did a cool dude gang salute because I will be the coolest dude in the gang.
Took a photo.
Carefully removed everything and came back in for my Weetabix and a sit down after such an exciting morning.

That's all very well and good, but that then begs the question as to how many Weetabix you had? Or am I getting confused with shredded wheat?

Oh, and I knew they were blue pedals btw.

I daren't ask what MAG wheels are :lol:

Great crowds at The TOF. :cheers:

Just finished getting the front wheel to fit and cleaning The Strat and have now joined you for some proper sport!

I got passed by some codgers up the final hill this morning. One chap had a back light that flashed red and blue alternately. I thought that blue was for emergency services only.

5.2 to go in the TOF. Tense.
