Hairy Legs

Thanks for all the info guys. Average days commute only ?25km in and 25km out of town ... real world factors to considerd. YOU ARE ALWAYS CYCLING INTO THE WIND one way and in winter by some freek of nature I can swear that it would get me both ways. Wind + cold + water = not too pleasant riding conditions. Regards Hairy

Hi All So my daily commute starts between the hours of 05:15 and 06:00 with a ? 45min ride on the bike to work. As I am sure you have noticed it is getting COLDER in the mornings. I have been looking at some cycling jackets and most seem to be a very thin shell with the obvious heat release/escape flaps and vents ...... will this keep me warm and dry (It is winter and I will be riding no matter what the weather) or will I still have to rely on multiple layers of clothing below this jacket. Prior to this I have just been using a normal lined jacket but it is bulky and can get a bit hot under the collar if the mercury is not that low ..... not to mention forms a perfect sail when the wind is blowing .... and the wind always blows. Further to this ... fleecy arm armwarmers and leggins .... comments and maybe something to keep my close cropped head from freezing in the morning. Any practical and past experience RE clothing welcome. Quick drying items that are compact when stored will be highly valued. Regards Hairy

Off to Jared and Avron now .....

Why did they stop making the Bio pace goodies?

Hi all I am building up a old road and have come to realise that I need a BB. The BB I was intending using in of the English thread variety and I need an Italian thread BB .... the exact length of the square taper shaft I am not sure of .. the crank is a old Shimano Biopace. Please let me know if you have anything and if so make an offer ..... if what ever BB comes with a crank too then so be it! Regards Hairy

Thanks for the info guys I have been trying to put together a old steel Mercx frame by carrying over components from a old Cosmos .... just discovered that there is a difference in threads to the BB .... the Mercx is Italian and the Cosmos English .... so now the whole project is out the water!

Thanks I need to ask the question ... is it worthwhile buying these frames when the pricing is not all that great vs the more common brands out there?

Hi all Anybody have any experience with the Produx frames and / or a website I can refer to for more info. Thanks Hairy
