BR – Tube socks up the knee with those silver pumps would be so far round fashion’s crazy wheel as to surely end up back at PRO. Especially if you couple that combo with your skate helmet, terry bands and six buck safety goggles. You should stop pointing at yourself in the mirror and laughing though – that way madness lies.

Michael – I can’t wait to see the gallery from Saturday’s ride. Do not forget thy camera!

We’re on but I insist you wear the new shoes. I’ll bring a camera to record the solar flares.

Let’s ride early Saturday so nobody sees me…I’ll either be wearing the loosely bound antiques or the Flash Gordon Specials. Both are equally disturbing for different reasons. I’ll never again point and laugh at a geezer cycling with a skateboard helmet, terry cloth wrist bands, and tube socks up to the knee.

The washing machine is brilliant Mark, never would have thought of that. I’m not sure I can fit the wheels through the door though

I can’t wait to see Brendan’s new shoes in person. They may already be visible from space on Google Earth. BR?

Don’t forget you can put your tyres in the washing machine and they generally come out pretty well.

i have a pair of the Chrome Northwave Aerator shoes from about 2 years ago. In hindsight, I should have gone for white Sidis. More class,poss.as blingy and just as expensive. Those Northwaves haven’t been out in a while.

Gavin,

Full marks for picking that up It’s a little gangly isn’t it… but it works just fine. Couldn’t be bothered cloning it out.

The Superclamp + Magic Arm bike stand is something I never thought of.

I loved Museeuw’s white rims at interbike last year, looked great on his bikes (but they’re still not in production)

David,

I’d say considerably more practical than white side down. I remember the whitewalls on my dad’s car, and trying to get them clean when he washed the car.

Hi Richard – The shoes are in the closet at home performing double duty as a night light or a mirror. My wife raised an eyebrow when I showed them to her which is a good sign as opposed to her usual pointing and laughing. I told her to imagine Mario when I wear the shoes but I don’t think I can pull that off. If the shoes fit well and I still can’t stomach the glare I have a good variety of spray paint in the garage.
