    Winter commuting bike

    Will bear that in mind, and see if I can see the bike in the flesh. Commute isn't that hilly, but there are a couple of climbs I wouldn't want to do in a single speed!

    Spec me some new bike gear!

    Not having much luck with these Giro Privateers. The next size up was far too big, so will return to wiggle. Any decent cycling shops in London with a large variety of shoes? The cycle surgery and Evans near me have a very small range.

    Spec me some new bike gear!

    Update. Decided to go with m540 peddles and Giro Privateer shoes. Went with the size 10 (EUR 45), however it is a little tight. Do these shoes have any give over time? Or is it best to order the next size up?

    Spec me some new bike gear!

    Pretty flexible on both pedals and shoes. A chap at work mentioned the MTB fitting is quite good for clipping on and off (London commuting). As it will be my first clipless pedal I'm open to suggestions. Budget wise happy to spend up to 200. But would prefer to keep it cheaper if possible!

    Canon lenses what to upgrade next?

    Went Park Cameras near Tottenham Court Road. Very impressed with the staff. Tried many lenses, but have whittled it down to either the 28mm F1.8 or 17-55mm F2.8. Probably going to go with the former, and upgrade the body to full frame next year.

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    Just noticed that my bill has gone up (as they charge you one month in advance). They were willing to give me 40% off, but also had the £10 admin charge. Contract ends at the end of August. Is it worthwhile cancelling now, or waiting until the 30 day point?

    First road bike

    Was too early in the morning! I'm surprised you can pick up a brand new road bike with 105 Looks interesting. These bikes are a lot cheaper than I thought. Was looking predominantly at boardman, cube, Scott and canondale bikes... given me a lot to think about!
