Already suggested that he offers £800, which he is considering doing. His plan is to test ride the one at Evans first.
He could make a day of it in Essex and test ride thishttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/De-Rosa-R...1753005546?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item3a9da601ea
Hmmm, and there's another one, also in Essex too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/De-Rosa-R...1462501004?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item2c940dea8c
Now you're talking. I've attached both links for him. He is going to be mighty confused after all this!
Thanks fellas, and Happy New Year to all the geeks.

Okay, I scored 83% (which is 10 out of 12 right)!
I got Cunego and 3rd in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad wrong.
Who can beat me? My money's on 1066.

And [MENTION=3347]Horton's halftime iceberg[/MENTION] if he still reads this.
75% for me.
Strangely my memory of recent events seems a little hazy.

92% for me. Got the Froome one wrong. I put sailing rather than cycling through the tunnel. The Santambrogio one was an educated guess though to be fair.
I was most pleased by the fact that I didn't have to ask the kids before submitting the answers.

Oops, I gave away one of the answers without realising it
I managed to get a nice long seafront cycle path ride in with our two youngest today but missed out on a half decent road ride with 1066 jnr afterwards because of car troubles earlier in the day
Had planned two rides with the local club this weekend but Sunday has been cancelled already. I'll have to see what the weather brings and how I feel for tomorrow.

That's it!, I'm not playing anymore if you're going to be like that
I suppose I didn't hear about the Froome one because he must have actually stayed upright for a change

Not up north matey. -1 and foggy at my normal time.
So, Pete Sagan. In a better team, but on an inferior bike. How will he fare in 15?

Dry yes, but with lots of rain on Saturday and temps dropping down to zero for Sunday morning, there's likely to be a lot of ice sheets about wherever the gritters haven't reached. Last Sunday was pretty hairy down a lot of the country lanes I went on. I might wait until late afternoon early Sunday evening when temps pick up a bit and stick more to the main roads. Alternatively, I might just say sod it and have zero miles for the week, bar the small amount I've done with the kids.

pasty
A different kind of pasty
I guess this is as good a place to ask this as anywhere.....
I want to get a bike, primarily for getting to the station and back, but also intend to do some weekend riding, road only, but I don't want to spend a fortune on one - max £250 really.
Where's best to look and what sort of thing should I be looking at? Bikes appear to have gone super-techno now. A few friends have advised me "avoid Halfords" is that right?

Yeah avoiding Halfords, is no bad thing.
Although if you decided to push the boat out you'll be looking at a Boardman bike, exclusively from Halfords

It's tough to turn up a bargain on Ebay.
There's the second hand shop in Brighton (who's name escapes me) but to me that also seems a bit pricey.
I think the best place to get maximum value for £250 is gumtree or Friday Ad.
It's on the small side but this proves my point:-

Not for me but at £150 this maight just be ideal:-
