Oi less of the bangs on!! .
Anyway it's not like their reputation isn't justified.

I don't think you've banged on about Morvelo, I was looking at their t-shirts through Evans just the other day.

 

[Motogull]

I haven't got one yet, but my next jersey is coming from Torm - Rapha style for a third of the price:

Quality is probably nowhere near Rapha's league, but I love the look.

I like that styling too.

There's nothing wrong with retro team stuff in my book either. Just the jersey mind.

I've got loads of their jerseys now. And some T shirts.

And the shorts...lovely.

This has got me thinking of other retailers.

http://www.lusso-clothing.co.uk/ best base layer I ever owned, and Jnr's long sleeve is a cracking bit of kit.

http://www.foska.com/ I haven't looked at these for quite a while. They need a 'Piglets Pie' jersey.
No Rapha copies there.

I'm sure there's some more but knowing my luck I'll only remember them at 2am.

AITC running a Brighton to Paris cycle ride in conjunction with the Giant shop in Shoreham.

2 nights stay and travel back £149, £100 if you register before the end of the month, or free if you raise £1000!

Sounds pretty good to me, a couple of the players might also be doing it.

Term time. No can do.

1066 Cyclosportive? I think I'll do this one - looks great, early summer, Cobb Lane Hill...

That sounds a good one, however I'm on holiday in Wales for a week, hopefully getting some miles in the Black Mountains

 

[Stat Brother]

Arrgghhhhh did someone say Cobb Lane.

Hateful climb, 3 attempts 3 failures.
Every other climb in Sussex can do, or in the case of The Steyning Bostal, have bested eventually, not Cobb Lane though.

 

[Motogull]

My Mrs would go mental if I suggested doing the AITC. Could be a belter.

That 1066 selection is appealing too.

 

[Bad Ash]

Faster cyclists are more attractive, study says: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26034659

The 2012 TdF most attractive were:
1. Amael Moinard (finished in a modest 45th place)
2. Yann Huguet
3. Maxime Monfort
4. Andriy Grivko
5. Michael Schar
6. Martin Velits
7. Christophe Riblon
8. Adam Hansen
9. Rui Alberto Costa
10. Manuel Quinziato

Anyone wish to discuss the top 10?

 

[Indurain's Lungs]

I've just noticed the fantasy league this year has the women's world cup in it!

As un-pc as it might be to say, beyond picking vos, I don't know shit about women's cycling!

That looks very good. Assume 1066 will be cycling that?

I got my winter socks and impulse buy cap from Prendas, this morning.

For a lightweight bit of kit the cap would seem very substantial.
The general consensus was pretty frightening.
That being I could ride (dog walk) in the nuddy, wear the cap, and still be warm.

 

[Hamilton]

Is it wrong to buy this and wear it whilst cycling.

I'm a strong believer in the Velo rule that states that if you are a world champion then you can wear a world champion's jersey - otherwise, cycle harder.

BUT, I covet one.

Mmmm. Difficult as it may be sufficiently retro to be acceptable.

You already know the answer, but it is a nice jersey, so fill you boots.
What about the regular Peugeot kit, they have?

One word of advise it WILL come up small.
Think Errea x10 (or should that be -10).

You might have to order xxl, don't take it personally.

Stop fannying about and buy it.

You can't have that. You just can't.

Radioshack was pushing it, but the rainbow jersey? No.

I have obviously just guaranteed that you will be buying it...

 

[Pogue Mahone]

That looks very good. Assume 1066 will be cycling that?

It starts and finishes in Burgess Hill, dipping its toes into 1066 country. So it's closer to us.

Seems a good a thread as any to seek a bit of advice.
thinking about getting this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/moser-bikes-speed-sora a basic starter triathlon bike. Any thoughts (only willing to spend £500 or less)? Much appreciated.
