Hasn't been shipped yet....

New bike has a seat that makes a Supermoto seat like a Parker Knoll recliner! So I'm going to buy a big fat, comfy, gel filled one or suchlike. Are these sort of things actually comfortable for a plodder like moi?

[porter_jamie]

no, i think those kinds of seats actually make it worse. you just need to get used to it. i rode my bike recently after several weeks off and it bloody hurt. you say new bike - what saddle is on the old one? swap that over, or get another one. i'm a tart and have blingy bits on my bike but the saddle i choose is a charge spoon which costs 23 quid, so no need to spunk loads.

[porter_jamie]

new battery from r2 in germany. we shall see how long it takes to get here and if i get spanked for duties. it was about 1/2 the cost of the lbs.

Lol I’ve just done the same let’s see what happens

Had a mail today telling me they don’t know when delivery will be, I’ve sent one back asking for a refund as it was a stock item when I ordered. Let’s see what happens next.

This is the single most exciting thing i've bought in years.

Several years ago we had a picture comissioned.
It started with this Photo of our lad
2018-10-14_08-06-35 by Steve Weeks, on Flickr

Which morphed into this

Which is now printed and hangs on our wall.

I also use it as my Strava and Whatsapp picture.

A place came up in discussion who make steerer caps for bicycles.... so i got this.

So every time i'm on my bike, my lad is out there with me now.

Tried my wife's bike and loved her seat so I've ordered one. And some other bits. I need a cheap rack and panniers so I can get stuff from the market whilst I'm out but bikes have changed a bit since I was buying stuff...

[Taipan]

Now a rack. Just need some cheap panniers.

Oddly, I have bought nothing for mine in quite a while,
I guess that is unlikely to continue for long

Not exactly today but in the last week a new gold XX1 chain which my mate who works in an LBS said would be months on back order, found it on Mantel and delivered in 3 days.
